Funky Cool New Dashboard...

Wow, there are so many more posting options today!!!







I can do this. And I can do this. I think I do like the green. We'll see how it shows up.





Sorry, didn't know that was going to happen, and I got all distracted.







D is on the phone with his mum who just had knee replacement



surgery. My mother has had two, so I know how great she is going



to feel in a few weeks. She is in physical therapy right now, and



hearing about what she is doing is similar to hearing about Linda.







Woke up today and then ate challah and tapenade with coffee outside



with D and the puppy, then met CH at the gym. I have been working



out my arms, because there is going to be a wedding in September,



don'tcha know, and I want my arms to look a little better for my



dress. I am hoping to go dress-shopping on Tuesday...







We are staying at the chesire lodge,



and have selected the Bordello fantasy suite, which comes with a bottle



of champagne, has its own jacuzzi, and a complimentary night at the



hotel within a year of the anniversary of your night there... it sounds



dreamy...







We are heading out soon for Mexican for dinner (mmmm... peach



margaritas) and then meeting CH and JR for drinks on the Dukum patio



after they go see I Robot.







It was a very relaxing Saturday, made all the better because I



got all my deadlines met earlier this week, so I have nothing hanging



over me.

The Longest Day

It is getting harder to update. This is mostly because I am exhausted, and reliving it all seems to just exhaust me a little bit more, but maybe if I can write a bit, I can fill in the gaps later. Or maybe I won't want to. I am torn between feeling a personal responsibility as a writer to document this and a personal responsibility as a person to rest. Yesterday was a long day. Matt and I rode up to Sandy, UT to tour another assisted living facility . It was beautiful. The woman who gave us the tour was sharp, responsible, compassionate, warm, and reassuring. Everyone we met was happy, calm, and like the Hospice people, just the nicest people you'll ever meet. The people who live there seemed engaged and happy, not just staring into space. They were participating in a social gathering that seemed like something that my mom could also participate in. It smelled good throughout-- like potpourri. I loathe the way assisted living facilities smell, but I couldn't get over how

Teenage boys are sex maniacs

1. Christian: Can you imagine Wicked porn? Me: Er... yes. Can you? Christian: Elphaba, Glinda, and Dr. Dillamond. .. Me: Thank you. Thank you very much. Christian: I'm sorry-- is it bad that I talk about sex so much? Me: Nope. It's normal, healthy, and expected. 2. About five minutes later, Tommy came waltzing prancing into the kitchen. "European or Gay?" Definitely gay.

Today, in an attempt to get my head back in the work game, I was sending out emails to my old/new Canadian clients. I have a contract with them right now that I am very excited about. I also have another grant due on Jan. 16, so I need to juggle a few projects. During the course of these emails, one young woman with whom I've had friendly contact before (both through working with her in November and then emailing about a project I did after that trip) was telling me about her  Comps for her PhD program. She is 27-- so young! I have come to realize lately one of the reasons it's so important for me to get a PhD (or maybe an MFA, or both). I have always known about myself that I wanted to get a PhD, even though those nearest and dearest to me who have PhDs (and whom I have watched suffer) think I'm insane. Especially if I insist (and I do) on waiting until the kids are out of the house (and, let's face it, probably out of college too) to get it. I won't make them
