Busy, busy, busy

Shell has a well written comment on my last post re: over-eating and under-exercising. You should go check it out. (And Shell, no worries on monopolizing! Type away!)

I haven't been as prolific here recently as I tend to be. I've been busy, busy, busy. Between dog/house/child sitting for a couple of friends, a wedding, my niece's first dance recital (TOO CUTE!!! You just wanna squeeze her to death. Note: I am not advocating killing small children.) and softball I haven't had time to even go to my apartment. I am in desperate need of clean clothes. But they will have to wait until tomorrow because my evening is already booked.

Oh, and I've also been busy because I have been trying desperately to tie up loose ends before I start my NEW JOB! That's right, I haven't blogged about it but I applied for and have now accepted a new job at my current place of employment. I am getting a promotion, a significant raise (whoohoo!) and I will be moving from the corporate business park where my department is now located to campus where I will be tuned into the rhythm and pulse of the school year and hopefully be inspired to work on my thesis. To those of you I work with to whom this move comes as a surprise, I apologize. I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up but my own. Also, until the announcement comes out, please keep it to yourself. The announcement should come out today so hopefully your head won't burst from secret keeping.

I'm excited. But I have so much to do until then. I have only 8 more days in my current position to clean everything up and leave it for the next person or persons. I have a feeling my tasks will be divied up and scattered to the wind for awhile. So, I may not be blogging as much for a bit. I also have a feeling that in my new position I won't really be able to um, spend as much time on-line. We'll see how it goes. I will be getting a laptop out of the deal so you never know. At least now I'll be able to "work" at Friendster Guys house if need be.

Signing off for today so I don't have a nervous breakdown thinking about all the things I should be doing. Wish me luck.

Thank goodness I have a vacation the first week of July. Phew.

Woo! Congratulations! A raise is always a good thing.

My niece just had a dance recital, too. She and her fellow dancers were dressed up as puppies. It was adorable.

Good show! You make me feel guilty about my own slacking. I don't have much of anything to do right now but still can't blog regularly. At least you have excuses!

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
