Foodie

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

I’m really looking forward to volunteering at the Central Market cooking school. I went to the orientation session a couple of weeks ago and while it will be a lot of work (it’s about an eight-hour shift), I think I’ll learn a lot, and have a lot of fun! My first class as [...]

Amazing Monday

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

This week had to mark the trippiest, most fabulous Monday EVER. It started like pretty much any Monday, that is to say, grumpily - Steve had the day off, and I had to get my rear out of bed and go to work. I had managed to crunch my right hamstring on Sunday [...]

ten-year reunion

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

Well, it is finally happening - the ten-year high school reunion. I got the invitation for August. I can’t believe it’s been that long! The cool thing is that it’s spawning a slew of emails to and from old friends, and that part has me giddy. It also caused me to [...]

Moneydance

Friday, March 18th, 2005

Most all the (limited) feedback I can find on Moneydance has been positive. And the price isn’t [...]

I have discovered that Apple actually does sell some factory refurbished machines on their site. Worth keeping an eye on, in case I get lucky sometime.

French Internet terminology & SXSW

Thursday, March 17th, 2005

Finally found a good comprehensive listing of basic Internet terminology translated into French. Thought the link was worth saving.
On the subject of the Internet, I did the SXSWi festival this year. I had never gone before. WAY cool. I learned a lot of neat new design tricks, and it was great [...]

*yawn*

Wednesday, March 9th, 2005

Crappy night last night. Rehearsal ran more than half an hour late, and I sliced open my foot on a very nasty, clawed chunk of glass, so I didn’t even get dinner until 10:00 (Steve is sweet and doesn’t eat until I get home, so I get especially antsy when things are behind schedule), [...]

Birthday weekend

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

I have a few minutes before lunch, so I thought I would check in. My birthday weekend was fabulous. It is fun to have a Saturday birthday - the celebration ends up spanning across the whole weekend. So Friday night we did dinner at Trudy’s (the watistaff was rude but the food [...]
