Nonsense and Genie Lamps

Stevie's Magic Genie Lamp
Since no trip the Middle East is complete without the acquisition of some bling as well as a magic lamp or two, I had to buy this one. It's really pretty (there is more pink in it than this lame photo shows, but that's all I can do for the moment).

Of course now I want to make some wishes. And I don't want to pay any price for them, just get what I want. If that's not a spoiled-y only child sentiment, I don't know what is, but there you have it. Me, frazzled, exhausted but elated, and really really really glad it's Friday.

My three wishes today?

1. Dinner on Elliott Bay with my friend JL

2. Clarity and fortitude (they go hand in hand so they count as one wish, ahem) to be really good at the school thing

3. A stellar weekend with my girl, who returns to school on Sunday.

What would you wish for?

Happy Weekend!

Hugs, Stevie

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
