Thanksvember 2012: Week One

| November 1, 2012

November 1st: I am thankful for being part of a family full of storytellers. Even in our darkest moments, we can help each other smile. November 2nd: I am thankful for my rockstar coworkers at Infuz (past and present). The business stuff is just the cusp of what I’ve learned from them, and many have [...]

A Look Ahead: 2011

| January 4, 2011

2010 is officially over now. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about it for months, but life got in the way. It’ll be a bit more concise now. Lucky you. If the second half of 2010 had a theme, it was Challenge is the New Black. A couple of months ago something snapped and [...]

The More Things Change…

| October 22, 2010

The cat’s out of the bag! Starting November 2nd, I’ll be a part-time employee back at infuz. Yes, that’s right. infuz. What’s that you say? You have some concerns? I know. We all did. But don’t worry. It’s not going to be like last time.

what’s that sound?

through a convoluted series of events that span almost an entire year and include writing classes and comic book fans, i’ve been invited to participate in a closed beta for an up and coming …um… let’s go with “conversation site.” they define themselves much better and it’s probably better for me to just quote them [...]

not my best day

| March 31, 2008

so…it’s been a week. and then another week. …and then a third week? surely not. i think it’s only been the two. anyway, my “a week and then i’ll see,” week is totally up. the first week was full of all sorts of potential planning. i didn’t get very far because, well, it wasn’t the [...]

2007 mid-ish year recap

| September 1, 2007

wherein kelly throws herself a whiny pity party and decides upon review that she really doesn’t care about the tense shifting and inconsistent capitalization enough to do anything about it. let’s recap, shall we? January bad: found out my dad’s “spots” were very terminal pancreatic cancer February good: *finally* sold our damn house. bittersweet: found [...]

and she never posted again

| April 22, 2007

don’t feel too neglected. it’s not like i’m making uber-regular updates on the baby blog. i’m sort of in this “blah” or “meh” state right now. the baby’s doing its thing and baking quite nicely. it hasn’t given me too hard a time so far with symptoms and cravings, so i really shouldn’t complain. work [...]

2007: a look ahead

| January 1, 2007

here’s the things that i’d like to do this year: drink less soda (maybe 1 a day?) drink way more water (some in the form of tea) wean myself mostly off of caffeine by march-ish exercise regularly (once week by march, adding a “once” every week every quarter) read one book a month (pitiful goal, [...]

pedestrial

| October 31, 2006

most days we walk to and from work it’s about 8 blocks. we also make a starbucks run …almost every day at work (shameful, i know), and then there’s the walking to lunch that takes in the same general direction as starbucks on a daily basis. the point is, we do a lot of walking [...]

definition of blasphemy

| September 6, 2006

i’m actually not sure what bothers me about this spot. i think the fact that the gap’s using audrey to pimp clothing is actually more disturbing than pairing her funny-face dance with an AC/DC song. i just know it is very, very wrong. if i shopped at the gap (or could wear skinny pants) i [...]
