One of the best things of working
at home is having a spouse who will proactively say, you look tired, want a massage? I had been working many hours straight since the wee hours of this morning, and let me tell you, that offer was one I snapped up with gratitude.
Now, massages can be […]

It never fails, you know.
Get a brilliant idea, implement it…and then realize, you forgot some of the Golden Rules of Website Design:
* Sites look different on different browsers
* Font sizes can be set by viewers
* Cascading menus can cascade off the screen if they’re deep enough
Ah well, these things happen. Today will be […]

You know, back when I was growing up,
my mom was fond of saying, if anything is going to happen to anyone anywhere, it’s going to happen to my daughter.
Oh gosh, she has no idea how right she is!
You might remember from my last post that I was utterly fatigued from work today - I’ve […]

How smart are you?
Do YOU know when to walk away from work and instead focus on pampering yourself?
This is one of the challenges entrepreneurs have, I will admit. If you’re the main power behind your company, you know that if you don’t do it….nobody else will!

Morning!
Well, it’s a delightful Sunday afternoon.
I had planned on spending time hacking up my forum software, when one of my kids came to me and said, Mom! Let’s go practice our nunchaku katas outside!
Now, you have to understand - the last time I did nunchaku was about, oh, hmmm, 3 months […]

A quick post before I collapse in a heap
along with, hmmm, lessee…..8 hours of programming, 1 hour of P90x legs/back, and a 2.4 mile circle walk, I also did an hour of adult self-defense. And we sparred with gear!
Omigosh, I never realized how much I have missed sparring with gear. True, I […]
