After discussing my history of blogging, this site and its toddler years to a co-worker, I’ve come to realize that I miss writing here.  It has always been the stress of work or school, wanting to be with my husband or the stress of having things to do at home that stop me. I suppose I just have to make more of an effort to write.

So, I’m hoping to be a bit renewed in my habits. Hope, it wasn’t invented by the president you know.

Today I have been assisting Josh in brewing beer. It has been raining today so we aren’t able to work on completing the shed. We are hoping to finish before Josh’s parents visit. Right now there is a 50/50 chance of that happening. Again, I do have hope.

The other thing I have been doing today (because there is a lot of waiting in the brewing of beer) is sorting my files on computer. I need to get in a better habit of doing it but for now I am just sucking it up and using the free moments to take care of business. Right. Next.

Work. Because of budget cuts, training and attending conferences has been cut. I’ve been actively searching for ways to get free or discounted training. I’ve also been trying to find a way to get myself to SXSWi this year. There are a lot of panels at this years conference relevant to what I do daily at work. I’ve put in a request to go, but hope is low on that one. So, if you know anyone giving away SXSW passes, don’t forget your gal miftik. I also have co-workers that want to go to the Music and Film portions.  I guess that is the interesting side of working in my department. We do all sorts of crap!

What else. Oh, new reads.

I’ve posted about Vonnie before but I want to mention her again. I adore reading her. She’s part mommy blog, part craft blog, part real blog. All the good ones.  Her husband Bob is pretty nifty too.

Oh darn. I must go. I forgot to mention that part of my assisting Josh in brewing the beer is that I am recording all of the non-waiting bits. I have to convince Josh to let me buy some new inexpensive video editing software. I think I am more likely to get that than a new machine with Avid. Right?

• i think my ears may have started bleeding. I have turned on the muzak. yeah. #

• is anyone keeping track of #hope and derivations of it in tonight’s #SOTU? #

• small world = finding an old colleague while searching for something wholly unrelated. #
