While I truly hate the phrase, “Everything happens for a reason,” I do believe that sometimes the reasons are easier to see than others. I’ve applied for a position as an administrative support to one of the executives in our organization, and I learned when they scheduled the interview that I know a member of the interview panel socially. I...
I don’t ever really get one, but sometimes I give myself permission to skip whatever I felt was necessary on the grown-up list. Sometimes a girl just needs to slip into comfy jammies and ridiculous slippers and prop up some pillows and curl up with the heating pad and knit and watch Wall-E. So that’s what I’m doing. Because sometimes the...
… too much life happens in a couple of days to compose a pithy post that sums it up adequately. So I give you more music. Kimbra: Melissa posted this song a couple of weeks ago and it’s become one of my kickoff songs on a daily basis. Gotye, Somebody That I Used to Know. Interestingly enough, this features Kimbra...
I started this post at the beginning of the month and never got around to doing anything with it because my old computer is a delicate flower and trying to search for multiple types of media and add links and compulsively check all my tabs and also actually be listening to music made her a little cranky and foot-stompy. My new...
Sometimes I have to sit on my damned hands to keep myself from doing something I really want to do but shouldn’t. And then I get up off my hands and come tell you all about it, because everyone loves hearing about someone else’s crazy, right? :) I deliberately didn’t blog after therapy last night. I hadn’t cried in session...
As much as I complain and am legitimately irritated when things don’t work the way they’re supposed to or I’ve been told they will out of the box, I don’t mind the troubleshooting process as long as I’m not on a deadline and I’m not being denied one of the primary purposes of whatever the new item is. I know...
Today has been quite a day for Femme Flavor. First, I received my first ever grant from a private donor to go toward whatever business expenses I feel are the most important at this time. Second, another supporter came through on a new computer for me, which I have desperately needed for some time. So, I went to the Apple...
Man, getting up that hour “earlier” this morning sure sucked a whole lot. However, it was absolutely made up for when I left work and knew we still had close to two hours of daylight-ish left; I came home, changed into my sneakers, grabbed a water bottle, and went for a nice long walk. I sign Joshua’s BHP’s paperwork on...
I was super psyched yesterday to write a post and speak all lyrically and shit about my three hour jaunt in this city I call home. Then I was all, I’ll write it tomorrow, and just add some love for the amazing people who made Saturay night a rockin’ good time. Then I thought, oh crap, I’ve lost all the...
I’d love to say that is was solely the fact that I told Richard that I needed a more alliterative blog post subject that prompted him to acquiesce to Thursday sessions… But it happens that he has an opening now, and was going to be gone on Tuesday of the week after next anyway, so why not Thursdays? I’d say...
