~ Leaving for London My flight is ten hours long. Hopefully, I can sleep through most of it.
26 Dec 03
~ Baby It's Cold Outside The notes lift up my very soul, I can't help singing along, and suddenly I'm all filled up with a sweet kind of calm, as if cinnamon ran through my veins, and warm apple cider filled my heart.
25 Dec 03
~ A Happy Christmas I reheated some pasta for myself and ate leftover chocolate cake from last night. Later, Joe got hungry and munched on some Apple Jacks. I really do love that we're having a very no-frills Christmas this year!
24 Dec 03
~ I Can't Eat Frozen Ham! (A Christmas Eve Story) "I don't know, sir," she said, paused, then added, angrily squinting, "Did you say something to me??" She looked like she was ready to come across that counter at Joe.
23 Dec 03
~ Last Day, Shopping, and Stories I've just totally been acting like myself. I stopped caring what anyone thought, stopped caring how I defined "professional," and stopped trying to be the way I thought I "should" be or the way I thought others expected me to be.
21 Dec 03
~ Shhh and Suspects Tonight I met up with a bunch of San Francisco Usual Suspects, and we shared lots of interesting conversations. Since I, of course, will not be sharing anyone else's stories, I thought I'd share one of mine.
19 Dec 03
~ Dealing with Anxiety So I quit my job today. I gave them one week's notice.
18 Dec 03
~ Sweater Weather and Other Boring Things So what doesn't suck?, you might be asking yourselves. I'll tell you: Sweaters!
17 Dec 03
~ Falling Asleep Typing Today was filled with oodles of shopping! It doesn't make for the most interesting of journal writing, but at least it made for an interesting day!
~ Kitten at Work See, today, I was rushing around before I ever walked in the door, so that was a bad start to the workday. On top of that, add major PMS to the mix, and you have one crazy Meg. I was alternately wanting to yell at people or just burst into tears.
16 Dec 03
~ Meditation Space At some point several years ago, I got it into my head that when I was older I wanted a meditation room in my house.
14 Dec 03
~ Oh, Christmas Tree Trimming the tree always seemed like a chore until we were doing it, and then it was simply a lot of fun. It was Christmas!
13 Dec 03
~ More Walking Adventures I saw a Beagle that reminded me of Minnie, one of the dogs Beth and I found last week. I immediately wondered if it was her, then quickly dismissed the idea. "Can't be," I thought, and continued walking. As I got closer, though, the woman looked familiar, too…
~ I'm a Jackass As pain shot through my fingers and my whole hand exploded in pins and needles, I thought, "WHY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY DID I JUST DO THAT?!?!"
12 Dec 03
~ Weather, Teaching, and Silly Things A big part of me wished to hear the familiar beep-beep-beep of a voice message when I turned on the speaker this morning, informing me that this was the case. No such luck.
11 Dec 03
~ Nice Day It turns out she was in my neck of the woods, so I quickly changed into an appropriate-for-leaving-the-house outfit, and met her for lunch!
10 Dec 03
~ Some Travel Prep Why isn't there one universal kind of plug? Wouldn't that make travelling so much easier? Wouldn't it unite people around the world, bringing us one step closer to global harmony?
~ Hard Day's Night I got home from work at 12:15am, and immediately changed into my pajamas. I'm freaking exhausted.
07 Dec 03
~ London Meeting Right now, my brain is swirling with thoughts of London. I am so freakin' excited!
06 Dec 03
~ A Walk in the Park We shared great conversation, she introduced me to a beautiful trail fairly close to the apartment complex, and I don't know what I would have done without her when we ran into a big surprise heading home!
05 Dec 03
~ What do you know? I have to admit, after the fun I had at work tonight, I feel like a dork for being upset about things yesterday.
~ Mele I realize that in the short time I spent with Mele this visit, she dug out a little space for herself in my heart.
04 Dec 03
~ Job Uncertainties But the problem is... it's not me. It's really not. I'm no fashionista. I could not possibly care less about how much our customers spend on clothes or how many items they leave with.
03 Dec 03
~ Going Nowhere I've been thinking that I have to do something to get back into shape, that I have to start somewhere. And this is somewhere.
02 Dec 03
~ Holidailies and Petsitting Tales I also left a note at Cici's home offering to replace their dying plant. It's fine to put me in charge of your animals, people. But not your poor plants. I'm sorry.
