Recently my work has shifted a bit from primarily answering questions to primarily writing documentation. The idea being that good documentation will result in fewer questions to answer. I very much enjoy the writing component, although I could do without spending so much time fiddling with little details in Pixelmator. Writing uses a different part of …

Spring cleaning on steroids
Passover starts tonight, but the preparation has been going on for a while. Jews have been working on getting rid of all leavened foods for the past month in preparation for the holiday. This cleaning process includes vacuuming out cars and cleaning out those corners of your cabinets where all of the crumbs accumulate. This year …
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
Seems that my goals/coping mechanisms have switched around a bit. I have been finding it increasingly hard to focus in the mornings due to happenings that do not bear further exploration at this juncture. But, I have found that doing 15-20 minutes of writing helps focus my mind and increase my ability to actually get …
Time for a reality check
When last we checked in on our intrepid (Not) blogger, she had made some radical commitments to start rebuilding her mojo. Now for an update on her progress… Writing daily: Fail Crafting: Partial Pass Walking: Pass Turns out that after a day of staring at my screen and typing, the last thing I want to do …
Not Much Going On
I recently took a long hard look at my life and realized that while most of it is great–I love the work I do, I have a wonderful husband, great friends and an increasingly cuddly cat–I am very disappointed with the creative-side of things. I have way too many WIPs (Works In Progress) and I am …
Thoughts from my Theater Extravaganza
I know it has been too long since my last post and please accept my apologies for that. Life has been hectic and although there has truly been much in my life that has been blogworthy (e.g. a trip to the Galapagos Islands, a cruise to Belize and Conzumel with my AgileBits peeps followed immediately …
What a long, strange trip it has been
One should never start a post with an apology, but I am going to anyway. This post is likely to be much more stream-of-consciousness than my usual posts. Hopefully the why will become clear as you read the post. 2014 was an odd, amazing and painful year for me. The year started with us in …
Squirrel!!
In general, I am not easily distractable. I have been known to get so focused on a project that I lose track of all time. On more than one occasion, David has told me he is going off to do something for an hour or so. Without him around, to distract me I put my head …
Here Comes the Rain Again
I originally had grand plans for picking my life right back up where I left it after my six week program, but my body had plans of its own. Instead of getting a little more work in before taking 2 full days off, I spent a week being sick. I don’t get sick very often, but …
When "safe space" isn't
A couple of you readers commented to me that you felt cheated because the promised rant was toned down. Today I am not feeling quite as generous and I am going no holds barred. At the beginning of our program we spent a significant amount of time creating rules that would make the program space …
