Ugh...
I'm sick for the second time in a month, this go-round worse than the last time. It's tracking just like my last trip through flu-ville, so I at least know what to expect. This hacking cough is just a bit much, though... and my nose is chapped from blowing it so much (TMI, anyone?).
There's not much I can do... loads of people have had this thing twice, even The Boy. Thank goodness that he is so good at taking care of me.Labels: happenings, the girl
Happy Birthday Bobo!
Can you believe it? Our little Bobo is a year old today (ish, he was about 10 weeks old when we got him, so we counted backwards to the day).
He was little and really sick with kennel cough the day we picked him up:
Since then, he's thrived and has even done some travelling:
Like
Logan, he's picked up
some nicknames over the past year:
- The Bobo
- Beep Beep
- The Great Googly Moogly
- Smudge (for reasons I'd prefer not sharing, and yes, it's exactly what you're thinking)
- The Silver Fox
- Senor Poopin' in the House (yes, what you're thinking here, too)
- Little Brother (in contrast to Logan, his Big Brother)
Logan has even adjusted pretty well. He won't cuddle with him, but doesn't get as offended when Bobo walks over him, either. We can't imagine our life without him, although we recall that it was really peaceful once upon a time. We admit it... we love the chaos that Bobo brings us.

Bad, Bad, Blogger
Bless me interweb, for I have sinned. It's been months since my last blog, Christmas to be specific.
The last few months have been out of control busy, even for my out of control, busy life. A rundown:
- I took the week between Christmas and New Years off to have some quality time with The Boy before the craziness geared up. That was the last time I saw any peace.
- All, I mean all of my clients decided that the first two weeks of 2008 were the best time to start approving projects. I delivered a bunch of projects, and travelled to Indianapolis for a client meeting.
- One word: thesis. Once I get this bad boy done, I'll finally be done with my masters. More importantly, I'll be able to cross one major thing off my list.
- I also have to finish up a paper for publication. So, essentially, I polish of a 40ish page paper and then immediately jump into another one to deliver by June. The upside is that I will be published in my field, which rocks.
- I'm teaching again this semester. Same as before, two sections of the same course. I've made some great enhancements to the class, which I'm really proud of. I love it, but it sure is time consuming!
- All of this work and stress has left me extremely burnt out, and with that burnout comes lack of motivation and less than ideal productivity. Something had to give, and in the short term, that has been Sasstastic.
- I've been fighting a miserable cold and lingering cough for the past month or so, a direct result of all this stress.
- This summer, I hope to have some time to dedicate to working on this site. I've disliked the new design pretty much since I launched it, so I really want to put together a much cooler site. Plus, I'll be teaching a course next semester that deals more with internet technologies, so I need to brush up on my web/Dreamweaver skills. This site is the perfect playground for that.
I'll do my best to keep up with my posting, but quite honestly, I may not see the light of day for the next couple of months. You're all invited to my graduation come May, though!Labels: biz, blogging, the boy, the fam, the girl
