Reflections from Semanta Santa.
I spent Holy Week in Antigua, Guatemala, Central America with my brother who lives there. I felt like a movie star, maybe one on a spiritual pilgrimage, but a movie star nonetheless. My brother's immersion in the Spanish language is so complete, that we spent the happy week in pantomime and whatchamacallit Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1078955700711230742004-03-10T16:55:00.000-05:002004-03-10T16:58:09.013-05:00learn one new thing everyday...and try to apply it.
I am having a bad day. I usually have a sunny disposition, but today was just one too many people trying to pee in my wheaties. First I am overworked as shit this week. (Thank you, God, for my job.) I take what turns out to be half the day for a doctor's appointment. They reassigned my care provider for the 3rd time this year. So I got Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1078687864667632412004-03-07T14:31:00.000-05:002004-03-07T14:34:09.153-05:00learn one new thing everyday...and try to apply it.
Suffering extreme blogger's block, spring fever, and winter doldrums all rolled into one. I also drank too much beer watching Duke and UNC. Not a pretty sight.
Love you see you later.bye!Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1077545434594321412004-02-23T09:10:00.000-05:002004-02-23T09:13:21.060-05:00learn one new thing everyday...and try to apply it.
Put on Your Big Girl Panties and Deal with IT.
Browsed a blog the other day titled the above and the title just stuck in my head. The tough up mantra behind that struck me, too. I ran into an old fellow Mooreland Mom who was re-entering the university roles as a non-traditional student. She plans to be a therapist.

What can I say? I feel blissed out. I feel juiced up. What 's a girl to do with all this pent up wonderful? I wish I could save it up and portion the feeling out for the numb days, the self-doubt days, the lonely-with-people days. Maybe the magic of being this happy is that it can't be brought out from a can. It can only be served up fresh. OK. I'm ready.

I hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day. I sent 350 Valentines to people Joe and I work with-that was a first and that was fun. I really do think my clients are sweethearts. One of my daughter's loved the earrings I got her for Valentine's Day. The 16 yr old was not amused, shall we say. I had a business/social dinner on Valentine's at aAlicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1075342920471504042004-01-28T21:22:00.000-05:002004-01-28T22:07:02.263-05:00learn one new thing everyday...and try to apply it.
The snow and storm have calmed down enough and the snow crews have treated the road so I ventured out in my car for the first time since Saturday. Elaine was delighted with her mitts. I rarely knit for other than blood relatives. She looked cute in them and promises to wear them to the auction house.

Hello all! I spent a snow day at home. Now I don't do that. The last snow emergency my partner Joe and I sold a house by driving a client around in an ice storm in his hummer. Today, I called in a bit of work, did some work at home and then knit all day. How cool is that! The Kroy pink sock varigated didn't suit me in broadripple.

Wow! What a great weekend for cocooning and getting something done. I finished my friend Elaine's wristlets ( Knitty.com voodoo )Saturday. They are worsted wool in dark teal and maroon variegated. I have a thing with variegated yarns and self striping sock yarns. It is like Disney land between your needles. I finished the plum merino wool Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1074895829642601122004-01-23T17:10:00.000-05:002004-01-23T17:12:33.950-05:00baby alice, alice marie, miss alice, alice blue gownAlicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1074894978305995752004-01-23T16:56:00.000-05:002004-01-23T16:58:22.733-05:00baby alice, alice marie, miss alice, alice blue gown
Whatever it is about January, I always find myself muffled and lost. I remember it from being a little girl. Just going through the motions and trying to outwait winter.
Five things I try to do to make it all better.
1. really hot showers with luxey soap, stand there for a real long time, shave with a new razor and use a lot of Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027480447359000568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116746.post-1074733428074891002004-01-21T20:03:00.000-05:002004-01-21T20:05:49.840-05:00Hello world. January has me whinny, frozen, achey and optimistic for better things to come. Last week I had a pedicure ( just heaven- hot pink toenails do keep a girl revved up), manicure ( subdued natural), dark blond mahogany foil highlights, yoga class, and a session with a fitness trainer to tweak my routine just to keep from drinking the pink liquid in the ladies' room.
