My new shop

Published on November 22, 2005 in Crafty. 3 Comments

So with the rush of Christmas crafts flooding in, I have decided that maybe the excess can go to good use. I have opened a shop on Etsy.com. Currently I have just posted my Green Tea Soap, but I will put a post here whenever I add another item to the store. You know, the plethora of baby blankets and maybe a stray necklace or two might make it up in the next few weeks. I think this will be a good opportunity to put out feelers. See if anyone likes the stuff. I had grand plans to set up a website to sell my crafts, but I really haven’t figured out this whole web design thing just yet. So until then – Etsy it is. Unless you know of a better one. Then please let me know!

Go ahead! Check it out!

Snooze

Published on November 22, 2005 in Lisa's Corner. Closed

I am not quite sure how my brain is functioning these days. I am forgetting certain things, especially directly after sleeping.

For instance, I went to hit my snooze button on my alarm for the fifth time today and realized that I didnt even remember hitting it the previous four times. I don’t even remember hitting it once. Normally I hit it twice. But five! And then not even remembering the first four times?

I am just going to contribute it to getting a better night’s sleep than I have been in the past. I was going through my insomniac phase, but I seem to have combat that situation. Hopefully……

It’s OVER!

Published on November 21, 2005 in Dissing the dissertation. 1 Comment

I am doing a happy dance around my office. I kicked ass, kids! The jokes? They laughed. The questions? I ROCKED!

Seriously. I can’t believe how good it was. If only I had someone to go out drinking with to celebrate!

Exit stage left.

Published on November 21, 2005 in Dissing the dissertation. Closed

I am getting ready to give my exit seminar for my graduate group. I have t-minus 30 minutes and I am nervous as all freaking get out! Hopefully everything will go fine. My advisor will show up to introduce me even though I didn’t remind him. I won’t forget any important points. And most importantly the Q&A portion of the presentation will go smoothly. Which means no one asks me any freaking questions. Did I mention that i am nervous?

Instant Replay

Published on November 20, 2005 in Lisa's Corner. Closed

I hate it when I wake up after having a dream about someone and realize that I am now mad at that person. This has been happening quite frequently in my life. There really is no reason for me to be mad at them, except for what their actions were in the dream.

In order to try and shake off the “pissed off for no good reason” feeling I go back to sleep to dream of something else. But then it happens again. My mind takes the opportunity to do an instant replay of whatever it was I was just trying to not dream about.

I do believe this is one of the many reasons I do not function well in the “let it happen” mindset. Mostly because my mind will not let me or it happen.

How do I retrain my brain?

Pseudo replacement

Published on November 18, 2005 in Lisa's Corner. Closed

Current mood: accomplished

Not that I could ever really be replaced in any capacity of my life, but let’s call her my psuedo replacement. After a dozen interviews and sifting through hundreds (and I am not kidding) and hundreds of resumes we finally found a diamond in the rough.

I am very relieved. The best part is, that she is a slightly more mature version of me. Hopefully she will be starting the first of the year. Which is also really nice because then I have time to prepare and hone my training skills…..not to be confused with my nunchuck skills of course.

Now…now I have the daunting task of updating my very out of date resume and preparing myself for what I want to take on next. I was thinking about becoming a professional self analyzer. I have given it alot of thought, and I dont think that is really realistic.

Someday I will figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I do have to say that I have been less stressed and making some considerable progress towards my goals that arent really goals. It feels good. I feel a sense of movement.
