What I’m reading: Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler What’s on the iPod: Roadrunner by The Modern Lovers and Jonathan Richman You know, I expected December to be slow. Not a chance. This week I have an interview (possibly two) for two different projects, and I bigger project just arrived. Plus I’m working on a…
What’s on the iPod: Running on Empty by Jackson Browne How was your Thanksgiving? I was able to head home (great weather for it) and visit my parents. My dad is dealing with emphysema and lungs filled with asbestos, so every visit is a gift right now. You don’t realize how quickly time passes until…
What’s on the iPod: Have Love, Will Travel by The Sonics It’s a short, slow week. I’ll be traveling this holiday, as many of you may be. For me, I had decadent amounts of free time, so I was able to get some side project work done, sift through emails, and relax a bit. A…
What’s on the iPod: Sugar by Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds It’s been a nice, slow week. I’ve been wanting to get to some personal projects, so I took full advantage of the free time. Right now I’m revamping one of my websites. When I got to the contact page, I went blank (don’t…
What’s on the iPod: Different Drum by The Stone Poneys w/ Linda Ronstadt For the first time in a while, I’m glad to see a weekend behind me. Last week, my dad ended up hospitalized (he’s home now). He has serious lung issues — asbestos and emphysema — and he was having trouble breathing. He’s…
What’s on the iPod: More Than a Feeling by Boston It’s been quite the week. I didn’t have a ton of work, but I had a lot of busy stuff. So far, I’ve had two evening events/outings, and there’s another tomorrow. It’s not even Thanksgiving and parties are starting. It’s Friday, and time for another…
What I’m reading: Fates & Furies by Lauren Groff What’s on the iPod: Skinny Love by Birdy You can tell the holiday season is approaching. Weekends are starting to book up with events (even weekdays — we have an event tonight). Trying to fit it all in becomes a bit of a juggle, but I…
What’s on the iPod: The Hook by Blues Traveler Where did this week go? I’m not busy — in fact, I’m not busy to the point where it’s becoming a bit of a concern. I have stalled projects, which means I have plenty of time to get some smaller, one-off stuff out the door. However,…
What’s on the iPod: Just As Well by Jackie Green Welcome to November — another month, another reset of the earnings goals (for me, anyway). October was a crazy month. I had an unusual start to it, too. My husband had just confirmed reservations for a long weekend in Cape May. You know the drill…
What’s on the iPod: Built to Roam by Shakey Graves This week got away from me a bit. The workload was limited to a few small revisions. The rest of it was split between working on side projects (which are actually primary projects that will pay off later) and sending invoices. In a few conversations…
