I searched for a video that wouldn’t be political, wouldn’t overuse sentimentality to influence, wouldn’t once more bring up the World Trade Center, and wouldn’t insult anyone’s intelligence. I was able to avoid all but possibly that last one. Happy Independence Day, everyone!

What’s on the iPod: Don’t Stop by Foster the People Slow start this morning. With tomorrow being a holiday, I’m feeling like gearing down a bit, taking more time to meet my own needs, and maybe just taking time to breathe. June was one busy month. But the mint juleps are mixed in the fridge…
Monthly Assessment: June 2012
What’s on the iPod: In These Shoes? by Bette Midler Nice weekend. I can now say my birthday is officially over. For some reason, I had four days instead of one. Husband and I shopped for my gift (clothes, yes!) on Saturday, so the celebration wound up that day. Yesterday was much too hot and…
The Process
What’s on the iPod: You Wreck Me by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Super day yesterday. I finished a case study, an article, and got the sidebar nearly complete.

What’s on the iPod: Farther Down by Neon Trees What a nice birthday!

What’s on the iPod: Better Together by Jack Johnson There’s something about that song on a summer day, isn’t there? Well, there’s something about Jack Johnson on a summer day — any song. His island life just rolls like waves through his lyrics. The start of a busy, but not crazy week. I have an…
Things That Make My Head Explode: Part Nine
What’s on the iPod: Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd (oh yes, it is!) What a hot day yesterday! I’d love to say I was able to get outside and enjoy it, but as it happened, I had an interview at 2 and I spent the morning researching a sidebar for an article. It took two hours…

What’s on the iPod: Unbelievable by Diamond Rio Today is absolutely one of my favorite days. I look forward to it every year – it’s the longest day! That sun will be out (and in this case, blazing hot) until late. So will I. Once I get this work pile whipped under control, I’m giving…
