November 2001
| 1 | If they don't burn down the house and slaughter the livestock, I'll be back. |
| 2 | They're the kinds of problems that I'm paid to solve, the kinds of problems that - despite all the cursing and complaining - I enjoy solving. |
| 5 | Not that any celebrations will actually take place until Friday, but the countdown has begun! |
| 6 | Let's hear it for Big Brother! |
| 7 | There are several things I could talk about this morning. |
| 8 | It was a simple idea when I started out, but it turned into a journey - no, a quest. |
| 10 | Or, at least, I'm bragging on my husband, not the presents. |
| 12 | It was, in all ways, a wonderful weekend, and I'm sorry to be back at work. |
| 13 | Is it colder this year than last year? Am I falling apart in my old age? Or is that, too, an illusion? |
| 14 | As Matt and I came out of the grocery store the other night, he muttered, "Now that's an ugly car." |
| 15 | Right. Coffee. I'll try to write something with actual relevance and/or life if I ever wake up. |
| 16 | Your friend is obviously amused by this approach, but lets it slide. This is why he is your friend. |
| 19 | I spent the whole weekend being slightly confused about what day it was, which didn't make setting my alarm last night any easier. I felt cheated. |
| 20 | A six-month reprieve. |
| 21 | It's the Curse, you see. We can't have a holiday dinner without some disaster happening. |
| 26 | It was awfully hard to climb out of bed this morning, though, with him all warm and sleepy-snuggly. |
| 27 | "Well..." I said to the tech support guy, "it figures that as soon as I actually get through to tech support, it would spontaneously fix itself." |
| 28 | All in all, I think Matt had a good birthday. |
| 29 | I'm tempted to come up with something extremely sarcastic. |
| 30 | So it looks like the loss of my personal e-mail access was accidental, not deliberate. I feel a little happier now. |
