Recently Heard - Dinner 2008-04-06 23:13:52 DH and I were eating in different rooms tonight… DH was watching the basketball game while I was in the office on the laptop. Out of the blue, I hear…
DH: Honey, are you ready for me to cut your heart out?
Me: (laughing as I’m eating my artichoke)
We both just laughed. Had to be there - [...] Read more:Heard

Randomness 2008-04-06 02:22:40 I feel like I should blog. Even though I don’t know what to say… (Ever have those days??) It’s relaxing for me to write and since it’s been a hectic week, I suppose I’m drawn to blog.
I’m watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I’m secretly crushing on Legolas. Aragorn too.
Little One had an [...]
Overwhelmed 2008-04-08 03:16:49 Once again, I am sitting at my blog wanting to express (relieve?) my mind of so many things… Yet, I’m fumbling for words to say.
So far, April looks like it will be one of my busiest months at work and with other groups I participate in. I’m overwhelmed and strangely at peace with it all. [...] Read more:Overwhelmed
Who me? Think? 2008-04-08 21:16:11 I got this off of Creative Triplet Mom’s blog. Seems to fit me…
Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential
You are precise, orderly, and realistic.
You tend to get to the point and get things done.
Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step.
Time limits aren’t a problem for you either. You work well [...]
Tied ends 2008-04-11 02:53:45 Meetings, meetings and more meetings.
That seems to be my life lately. Meetings at work. Meetings at lunch. Meetings after work. At my last department meeting, our Associate VP said the average executive has about 28 minutes of productive time per day. I wonder why… I can’t get anything done when I’m hopping from meeting to [...]
Shout to the Lord 2008-04-10 22:53:21 I can’t believe my DVR cut off the end of American Idol last night. They sang one of my favorite worship choruses. I get emotional whenever I sing/hear it. The contestants did a beautiful job with the arrangement!
I couldn’t get through last night’s show without tears. They featured a community that is nearby and I [...]
Spring Cleaning 2008-04-13 00:30:11 There was a local e-waste collection today, so we decided to clean a few old computers out of our garage. After looking at the announcement, we saw that they accepted old appliances too (yee-haw!), so DH loaded up the truck with a BUNCH of stuff.
A washing machine that died a few weeks ago
A hotel refrigerator [...] Read more:Spring

April Showers - where are they? 2008-04-14 01:29:22 As we were driving home from my grandma’s house at sunset, the mountains looked so beautiful with the “pink” snow. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it so clearly or seen the snowcapped hills during sunset. I wish I had my camera; it was gorgeous.
I also thought it was ironic to still see so much [...] Read more:April

In Remembrance 2008-04-16 01:36:15 On April 16, my campus will be holding a memorial service in remembrance of the one year passing of the Virginia Tech tragedy. Because we work on a college campus, the incident at VT hits home for all of us. Sadly, our campus is no stranger to shootings, murders and violence.
Tomorrow, I will remember the [...] Read more:Remembrance
Another Friday 2008-04-19 02:24:35 Is it really another Friday
?!? I have about 5 posts from this week that I have mentally written in my head. Where did the week go?
We got a call this evening. My great-uncle passed away early this morning. I mentioned two weeks ago that he was sent home on hospice and not expected to make [...]
Little Laker Girl 2008-04-20 14:49:23 Little One was so excited to wear her Lakers outfit to church today (and so was DH)! She was more than happy to pose for a photo. After each one, she would ask to see it. (The next generation will not know about film!)
Then, she started playing peek-a-book. Very cute I’m glad I captured [...]

Working weekend 2008-04-25 01:57:06 Another Friday… I swear the weeks go by faster and faster.
The countdown is on for my event next week! It’s the calm before the storm. Next week will be a 3-ring circus as I get ready. I don’t know that I’ll be around much to blog (much like this week) but I hope to have [...]
Looks like we made it… 2008-04-27 22:46:33 I made it through my weekend of work and visitors. It went by entirely too fast. I didn’t spend much time with my parents and in-laws this weekend. And once again, it’s back to the grind for another 6 days of work starting tomorrow.
I really miss having a weekend just to rest. I’m not sure [...] Read more:Looks
And the award goes to… 2008-05-01 02:27:00 I’ve spent the last… SIX months… preparing for my event this Friday. It’s our grand-scale recognition event. I have a budget of $20K+ for 200 guests. Fortunately, it goes pretty far because the venue, catering, flowers, sound system and help are campus-based so my costs are reasonable or waived.
Today, I finished writing my part of [...]
Stats 4-26-08 2008-04-27 13:17:16 It’s 92 degrees out right now, meanwhile it is snowing in other states.
We played a 4 hour, 17 hand game of Pinocle and lost by 11 points (after being ahead nearly the entire game).
Gas is $4.05 around the corner.
The Lakers are 3-0 in the playoffs.
The score of the current bball game is 23-31, but I [...] Read more:Stats
Society Dinner photos 2008-05-05 01:02:08 My event went amazingly smooth. I am still recuperating from the jam-packed schedule.
On Thursday we had all the rentals delivered to the venue (which was off-site, but part of the university) at 8am. I was there to count everything in and sign off before returning back to work. We started tying the 190 napkins before [...] Read more:Society

WW: Oddities at the carnival 2008-05-07 01:16:02 I’m not much into sci-fi, but I thought this was an interesting use of scrap metal… Who knew that broken bike chains could be “scary”?
I need one of these. Seriously, this thing actually had some speed and can hold up to 400 lbs. Read more:Oddities
8 Years Ago 2008-05-09 02:41:58 My very first Mother’s Day came a year early.
At 35 weeks pregnant I was sleeping in bed when I felt my bag of waters break pop. My husband was so cute when I told him. “What shall we do?” he said. “Should I call the doctor?”
Since it was nearly midnight, he got the doctor’s exchange. [...] Read more:Years
Day off 2008-05-09 02:11:12 I’m taking Friday off.
Except that I have some important letters that need to be signed by the president and sent before the weekend. So, I’m going into work for a couple hours and I’m hoping the letters will be signed and ready for me by 10am.
At 10am I need to run to Big Brother’s school [...]
I Love Sundays! Mother’s Day 2008-05-11 16:14:58 Have you looked at the newspaper ads for Mother’s Day? Have you noticed the jewelry ads?? There is one local store whose marketing slogan says “Nothing says ‘I Love You’ like a diamond”. That slogan must have been sinking in all these years. On holidays/birthdays I often wonder if I’ll get jewelry. (Because I do [...] Read more:Sundays
Scrapbooking + Blogging + Party-ing 2008-05-11 15:26:52 Lately, I’ve been frustrated with myself. I’ve kept myself so busy that I haven’t taken time to do some of my favorite things - namely scrapbooking and blogging.
DH asked me what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day and BLOGGING/blog surfing was the first thing that came to mind! (Clean the house also came to [...] Read more:Scrapbooking

Biological clock 2008-05-11 02:08:41 As I’ve been perusing the Mother’s Day photos and stories around the the blogosphere, I had a teeny-tiny twinge… I miss having a baby in the house!
I love newborns - the promise, hope and joy they bring to a household. Pregnancy and birth has always been a miracle to me. I am in awe that [...] Read more:Biological
Party hopping! 2008-05-13 02:01:28 Multi-Party
ing. Is there such thing?! It sounds much more fun than Multi-Tasking.
Nonetheless, I had to join another blog party! I think they’re so much fun. I could make a full time job out of Multi-Partying in the blogosphere. I meet so many wonderful women bloggers with each party. I think my Bloglines account is going [...] Read more:hopping
My Mother’s Day History! 2008-05-11 16:43:46 Two years ago, I posted this Mother’s Day entry. Although it hasn’t been updated, I remember these memories with each passing Mother’s Day and I wanted to repost since my heart has been full of these ponderings.
Six years ago, I celebrated my first Mother’s Day with my four-day-old newborn (photo right). It was an unexpected [...] Read more:History
Way above average! 2008-05-15 01:38:18 I just caught the weather forecast for the next few days and they’re expecting temperatures to hit the 100s. Yikes. I’m not ready for the summer temps!!! It has been averaging in the mid 70s to 80s for the past couple of weeks.
Today it was in the low 90s, but I was sitting at my [...] Read more:above
