haiku 01/31/2008

Big changes at work.
Like graduating from high
school - off to college!

Lost season premier
tonight! It's been so long since
it was on and new!

Going to polish
off Alias Season Three.
How's it gonna end??

haiku 01/30/2008

Today's Wednesday, and
also Thursday. RDO
is on Friday! Yay!

I knew that skanky
harlot was bad! Syd and Vaughn -
there is still a chance!

haiku 01/29/2008

Got Alias Three
from Cassie. Stupid Vaughn! How
did he get married?

Ran two miles, walked
three-quarters more. Hubby made
soup for dinner. Yum!

haiku 01/28/2008

Started Haiku Vol.
2. Using flower backgrounds.
Fun and colorful.

Made batch of garden
veggie soup tonight. Added
some smoked paprika.

Can't wait until lunch
tomorrow to try it! Smells
great; how does it taste?

haiku 01/27/2008

Busy day. No fun
for a Sunday. Entering
old haiku on blog.

Had to go back to
October. A plethora
of haiku stanzas.

After it's all on
the blog, I can start putting
Vol. 2 together.

Hellooooo!

Okay, it's been awhile, but I am about to get back on track. I am going to start adding in all of the haiku that I've missed, and I am going to put it on the days on which it belongs, as opposed to putting it all out of order, so, you will need to go back to 10/27/2007 to start reading the new stuff; 10/26/2007 is the latest haiku that I've posted.

I'll start adding happy lists soon, too :) Though, those may not go by date, but may be one big list.

Welcome back :)

haiku 01/26/2008

For the happy list:
getting up early and them
napping on the couch.

We (hubby and I)
decided to try out Crocs,
even though they're dumb.

They arrived today.
His are black, mine are "pulse" - a
pinkish-orange. (Duh.)

So far, they are not
awful. Pretty comfy. They
still look wicked dumb.

haiku 01/25/2008

Crazy work today.
Happy the weekend arrived.
Watching Alias.

Just six episodes
left in Season Two. Will
be done very soon.

Cassie's out Monday,
so it'll be Tuesday when
I get the next set.

haiku 01/24/2008

Annual Chili
Cookoff tonight. Didn't cook,
took photos instead.

Had my recorder,
notebook, and camera. Just
missing a "Press" hat.

Jonah Jameson -
that's Phil! Me, I'm Peter Parker,
minus the costume.

haiku 01/23/2008

Bought Stephen King's new
book today: Duma Key. Should
read his last one, though!

Lisey's Story. I
did start it, but didn't quite
finish it. I will.

haiku 01/22/2008

Back to work after
four-day weekend. Got Season
Two of Alias!

Cassie and I swap
Buffy for Syd and we both
love Veronica!

haiku 01/21/2008

Back in Maryland -
still have half the holiday
to enjoy at home.

Finished Alias
Season One. Really good! Great
cliffhanger ending.

Hanging out, watching
Buffy, staying warm. Tacos
for dinner tonight!

haiku 01/20/2008

Today is Baby
Hans' shower! We drove up to
Jersey this A.M.

Florham Park is cute!
No left turns, though. Very strange.
Jo's belly is round.

I got to feel a
kick! Just a little push on
my hand. Oh so neat.

After the shower,
watched football and hung out with
Ben, J, and the fams.

So nice to see them.
Next time, there will be four in
the Chapman household.

The Pats won, eighteen
and oh. But the Packers lost.
Giants in the Bowl.

Freezing cold! Single
digits. Chilly wind. Happy
to be warm indoors.

haiku 01/19/2008

Legs are sore today.
Working out twice is good, but
I'm not used to it.

Bought pretty VB
baby bag for Jo's shower.
It's Daisy Daisy!

Worked on reviews and
watched Alias. Did laundry.
Gotta pack sometime!

haiku 01/18/2008

RDO! Today
is the first day in my new
notebook. Petal Pink.

Ordered from eBay.
Got a new Java Blue, also.
eBay - lots of stuff!

Also bought two wee
notebooks, for workouts, but they
haven't arrived yet.

Watching Alias,
cleaning a bit, working on
reviews, hanging out.

Worked out twice today!
Walk, run, walk, run, walk, run, walk
to be in great shape.

Pretty painted nails.
Fingers only. Toes could use
it. Sorta purple.

haiku 01/17/2008

Snow! A few inches!
Huge flakes, tumbling fast. Soon
rain, and then ice - ick.

Met Joy for coffee -
discussed NaNo, put novels
(so far) in binders.

haiku 01/16/2008

Happy to have speech
over! People seemed to have
liked it. Good feedback.

Jim said that it "stood
out," and others said it was
"inspirational."

Ooh, Apple released
apps for the Touch. Notes! Email!
I love iPods lots!

haiku 01/15/2008

Speech all done! Thank god!
I went first, right after Ed
played Cal Ripken's speech.

Tough act to follow!
But, I got some laughs, and it
wasn't too, too bad.

I was nervous as
hell, but people said very
nice things afterward.

After the meeting,
I went to happy hour.
It was a good time.

Talked with Will, Drew, and
Gordon, among others. It
was good to unwind.

haiku 01/14/2008

Urgh. Tomorrow, I
have to give a speech
at the staff meeting.

It's all about me
and my T.S. story. It
will put them to sleep.

But, my new suit will
imbue me with confidence.
They'll stay awake, right?

haiku 01/13/2008

Have I mentioned that
I'm starting a little flair
collection? It's cute.

"I heart Logan" and
11.04.08
are my first two pins.

Last night, after work,
I made a whole bunch more online.
Oh boy, they're silly!

I'm sticking them on
my cargo sling. It's just the
sort of bag for flair.

(Also, shopped for and
bought a cute brown suit today.
Makes me look snazzy!)

haiku 01/12/2008

Raspberry Fizz! How
beautiful you are! Pinks and
oranges galore.

Purple and yellow,
too. Bright and happy - you must
have been made for me!

My new Cargo Sling
is my new favorite bag.
Roomy and comfy!

Got lots of good deals
on retired patterns. Got
a huge bag of bags!

Raspberry Fizz, and
Daisy Daisy and Pinwheel -
what a great Spring batch.

haiku 01/11/2008

Quiet Friday. Wee
pizzas for dinner. Work was
unremarkable.

Tomorrow is the
VB sale at Mixed Emo...
I can barely wait!

Oh, Josef, where were
you? Plenty of Mick but no
Josef this time. Wah!

haiku 01/10/2008

FitFlops! Comfy and
cute. Hubby laughed. Tuckered out
walking to the couch.

Well, maybe not. Wish
the weather were nicer so
I could wear them out.

Cold and rainy - not
good for showing off cute toes.
Will they really work?

There's a new Moonlight
on tomorrow! Mmm Mick and
Josef (Logan!) Yay!

haiku 01/09/2008

New hard drive is here.
1 terabyte! That's lots of
photos and music!

haiku 01/08/2008

Little DVD
player is perfect for the
treadmill! Walk, jog, watch.

haiku 01/07/2008

Sixty degrees on
a January morning!
Global warming, much?

haiku 01/06/2008

Breakfast, grocery
shopping, more Veronica,
and some Buffy, too.

Also, read the first
Gossip Girl book. Filled with rich
kids with sex and booze.

It's now a t.v.
show, too - Veronica's in
it! Haven't watched yet.

haiku 01/05/2008

Mmm Saturday. Went
to Weight Watchers and then the
mall. Hung out at home.

Lots to do, but it's
more fun to relax and just
hang around for fun.

Designed and ordered
a t-shirt: "November 4,"
for the election.

haiku 01/04/2008

R.D.O.! R.D...
Oh! Shopping to do. Things to
buy. Socks and remotes.

Hanging out with The
Ruffles tonight! J is in
town. Going to L's.

Ruffles and snacks and
A's pumpkin ale. And P.B.
chocolate tart. Mmm!

haiku 01/03/2008

Today is Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday all in
one day! Two-day week.

Gotta start slow when
getting back from a lot of
time away from work.

Watching some Buffy
from Season One. They all look
so young! 10 years past.

happy list 01/03/2008

haiku 01/02/2008

Back to work today.
First day of '08. Okay,
but miss vacation :(

Happy New Year!

Hello! Just wanted to give a heads up that I will soon be back on a regular basis with all sorts of insightful things to say :)

Until then, here's one thing to be happy about:

• blogging from your kitchen without a computer
• the iPod touch

Okay, so it was two things.

haiku 01/01/2008

Happy New Year! First
haiku of the year. Need to
catch up with this stuff.

Many haiku to
be written and / or posted.
How do I catch up?

Last vacation day.
Watched Veronica all day.
Lots of Logan scenes.

Wrote holiday cards -
just a few. Nice to be home
and just hang around!

Happy birthday to
Dad! Snow in Vermont now that
we've come home, of course.
