I can't title this post until I figure out what the hell I'm gonna write.
What a weekend. I put in 8 hours of emergency work for my client. Wait. Make that eight hours of emergency work for my client that has never had an emergency like this before. At least not one that has ever fallen to me. So much for Sledgehammer Landscaping this weekend.
All the work I did reminded me of the days, not really all that long ago, when I worked 50-60 hours a week. I have to be honest with you and confess that I really don't miss those days at all. As much as I love what I do for a living, there are other things I like to do now. Things that *gasp* don't involve technology. (Can someone be a dear and please pick Iki up off of the floor).
I still love technology and analyzing the hell out of it. I do, I really do. But I also like sitting on my back porch watching Monkey the cat carry dead things into the yard.
Good times...good times...unless you are the mouse he captured around 11am.
Speaking of Iki, she's right about the humidity. What is going on with the weather today? Where are September's milder temps!?!?! I stood up and broke into a sweat. This is nuts.
Oh and speaking of nuts *kidding* *sorta* Btezra has pictures up for auction HERE. Go make a bid, proceeds go to a Katrina relief fund.
All the cool kids are doing it.
All the cool kids are also going to the store today because they are plum out of soap. And plums.
Let me know if you need anything.

That's not why I'm on the floor. I'm on the floor because you're still using IE. *slapslap*
It's a toss up which I enjoy more - coding, or wandering around my yard examining the growing things and contemplating what they'll be doing in a year or ten. :)
KH, I agree with you 100% as since losing my job and starting up my own business, there is nothing about my old job I miss. And being able to sit on my patio, in the warm winter sun, and work on reports and costings, or taking a mid-afternoon nap or having coffee with friends whenever I want to, makes working for myself sooooo much more fun and interesting. More importantly, I am making money for myself and not making someone else richer.
Well, at least there was a good stiff wind yesterday! Although that totally f'd up my sinuses sitting in it all. Dogdamn. Day. But Kel's band took first place in their division! Woohoo! First competition of the year and they won! :) Happy days.
Hey, somebody tell Keri to come and comment on MY blog!
I need you to fill up my van with gas on your way to the store, 'kay?
OMG, the damn heat is driving me nuts. Why was it 90 degrees? I ran a fun run downtown on Saturday afternoon and I was *dying*. Dying, I tell you. But Sunday afternoon after it cooled off a bit was very nice.

No WAY not possible! I am inching my way in that direction. Inching slowly but inching.
Here is Boston it was glorious last week and now today - ick, uck, bleck, hot 90-degres, humid.
Really there is life beyond technology? I think I need a sledgehammer.
