I entered the busy weekend a little shell shocked about losing all my work emails – it’s almost like my lost luggage – you keep thinking it will turn up but when it doesn’t you just kind of walk around feeling a little strange. We’ve had such a fun weekend but it all came crashing down this morning when I woke up feeling sick – I knew the couple of glasses of wine at the…
Here’s a great option, and a wonderful and productive idea. Planned Parenthood is all about choice, and education and decisions that are best for the health of everyone. So consider this: Instead of (or, in addition to) sending around more emails “voicing our concerns” about Gov. Sarah Palin, let’s honor her more. Let’s all make a $10 donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin’s name. And here’s the good part: when you make a donation…
Went to see Elegy today at Canal Place. The cinematography was lush and the acting superb by Ben Kingsley, Patricia Clarkson, and Peter Sarsgaard. Definitely worth your time.
I was speaking to an overseas friend this morning while T and I sat on the screen porch having our tea and breakfast. He said he was having a hard time at work because management kept layering on nebulous goals and then changing the game plan and stressing everyone out over making their numbers. I said these are tough times. But I don’t think anyone is unscathed. I met a woman the other night at…
T asked me out on a date last night and we started by taking a nice bubble bath and then we went to Meaux Bar on Rampart Street. Debbie waited on us, of course, and the food was divine – we started with a beet salad, then steak tartare and then had oxtail stew with ziti – YUM YUM YUM. Matthew’s cooking is fabulous. This was a great end to the chaos of the last…
I was reminded to smile at my computer because I have been grimacing since yesterday. The email situation is still a bust because of a corrupt database issue that has yet to be resolved. You’d think after losing ALL my work emails that there was nothing left to corrupt, but au contraire. Meanwhile, it’s hard to evaluate anything else like stock market crashes, surges, uncertainty, or any of the cosmic topics that seem to be…
My email database bit the dust yesterday and that took me on a sojourn into the realm of tech assistance from Microsoft – it was a ten hour journey. I arrived without my bags. And this morning, guess what? My email crashed! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
We are going through something here – there are such enormous changes going on around the world – it’s exciting, challenging, dynamic times.
We instill in everything we encounter, our own prejudice, our own bias, our own stain, our own limitation, our own knowledge, our own experience. So when you’re wondering why everyone is against you, or why your mind is in contra flow to the rest of the world, or why you never seem to be lucky – the why might be a big huge arrow with a u-turn in it that points directly back to you.…
We had friends over for dinner last night and ate out on the screen porch enjoying the breezy beginnings of fall. We would have normally been indulging in the exotic scent of night blooming jasmine but thanks to Gustav, there was none. One of my friends had performed a heroic act saving folks during Gustav when water had lapped up over the bank by several feet within hours and caught everyone unaware.
