Universe on the Blip

Am I regressing?

Lately I've found myself dressing my salad with sunflower seeds, chick peas, bacon and Thousand Island dressing. This is the same salad I always used to put together at the salad bar at Mother's Pizzeria (and on occasion Crock N Block) when I was a kid. I haven't had that combination for years... ok, well decades... and I had it at least four times this past week alone.

And last night when I went to go set my alarm for bed, what was playing on the radio was Maestro Fresh Wes. This is the third time I've heard "Let Your Backbone Slide" in less than a week. Is he making a comeback?

Me thinks some sort of time warp is going on in the universe... Let's just hope it doesn't result in me crimping my hair and pinning my jeans with safety pins. Again.

Divas on a road trip.... denied.

Finally, I get to go to an educational conference that isn't transportation related. And it's perfect. I mean perfect for my diva comrades as well.

Alas, I will go the trip alone. None of them think they can get approval to attend. The ironic thing is that I work for a fairly anal company when it comes to these things. Anal in the sense that they hate to spend money if there's no obvious ROI - and educational conferences that are not directly related to our vertical would often mean "fat chance." (This has never really bothered me much because the company's anal-ness often translates into a much higher shareholder bonus for moi.)

But I'm sad. It could have been a road trip of a lifetime. *sigh*

Kickin' butt on the New Year's resolution

Ah ha! Success already!

Have managed to find a simple pattern for knitting a hat that does not involve circular knitting needles. This is a good thing since I have no idea how to use circular knitting needles. (I'm a self-taught knitter.)

It's only January 3rd and already I'm making progress on my New Year's resolution! Surely this must be a sign of good things to come in 2008?
