This weekend we decided on a last minute home project. I’ve been itching for some paint on the walls. We live in a house that was all painted contractor khaki. It’s a great color but gets old after…

My work travels have brought me to Austin, Texas this week. I’ve been to Texas a few times, but this is my first time in Austin. I’ve been pretty busy with work, but have had the chance to…

A good day →
Today was a good day. Well, the day wasn’t exceptional and it wasn’t craptastic either. I’m feeling very behind on all things work, but my night erased all those thoughts. It started at our 12-month…

I almost missed this day! I was traveling and lost track of the days and thought it was still June 28th. Bryan had to tell me the date that night when we were talking on…

Leaving.
When you know you’re leaving, you think about things differently. Your mind processes activities differently. You have time to weigh the important against the not so important.
I left…

My favorite part of the weekend was the day I took zero pictures. Not even a camera picture.

Blogging and Children →
My mommy mind wanders around a lot. One of the things I keep coming back to is the balance of the Internet and life. What’s over-sharing and what’s ok. We live in a social world. Social networking…
Getting Back on the Horse →
I’m a fair weather fan of exercise. I love the endorphins and the act of doing it. I hate the preparation and making the decision to do it. So, you can imagine what I did (or didn’t do) once I got…
