welcome to the family!

I got another camera. Isn’t it cute? It gets terrific reviews. It’s got some killer features, and the image quality is fantastic. It’s replacing my beloved S400, which I got three years ago this December. That S400 has been through a lot…literally. I have dropped that thing in the snow, tumbled down mountains with it,...

the worst part of a doctor’s appointment

Is by far the waiting between when the nurse takes your blood pressure and when the doctor finally appears. I am losing my mind in this tiny room!

netflix: finally!

I finally decided to sign up for Netflix. I’ll actually save money if I cut back on my trips to the movie theater. And I’ll earn 2,500 SkyMiles to boot. If you want to be my Netflix friend, just let me know!

step away from the computer

Why fight the crowds on Black Friday when you can do so much shopping from the comfort of your own home? I actually haven’t bought anything today. I was going to buy a coat at Bluefly but they sold out of my size before I had a chance to. It was an extra 20% off...

some random thoughts before I hit the treadmill

yay for new jeans!

I got these jeans today. Aren’t they cute? While we’re on the topic of shopping (which, by the way, I’m really not that into unless I need something specific) — I must confess that I have developed a rather foolish attraction to Celine handbags. I have been enthralled by so many of them lately. I...

nerdfest

I did finally get the IBM Java Virtual Machine on my Treo 650, which allowed me to install the Gmail app I mentioned a while ago. It’s not amazing, but it is better than the Web version. I also got a new job! The job search was actually very successful, and I was in the...

rambling thoughts for sunday

I need a spa day. My back aches from weeks and weeks without a good massage. My mind is a little nuts from the mini-freakout I’ve been having since Friday at 6 p.m. I could use some pampering and a pair of really strong hands. It’s 2:30 p.m. and I’m still in my pajamas. I...
