After being without my Treo (phone/modem/calendar/to-do list/address book/lifeline) for the better part of five days, I finally got up and running with a replacement last night. I didn't realize until it died Friday how incredibly dependent I am now that it is both my phone and Internet modem. But I still feel that it's my best option, as the land line up here is ancient and slow and I have no other high-speed Internet alternatives. At least I'm only a short drive from a couple of cafes with free Wi-Fi. And in a pinch, there's always smoke signals.
Just kidding.
Of course, now I'm spending lots of time
I know. I shouldn't whine. I can see you playing the tiny violin strings right now.
My house is looking less like a hurricane went through, as I've made progress decluttering and organizing. I'm also making headway on my to-read piles of books and magazines. However, the pile of receipts, bills and paperwork on my desk/dining table is still a foot high -- and that is procrastination right there, pure and simple.
I'm wasting less time on personals sites -- what an exercise in futility that is -- but now I'm working with an Etsy designer to design a custom purse just for me. (See this Flickr discussion thread if you want to torture yourself with the details of my efforts to find the perfect purse.)
And I'm getting slightly more exercise, having been to the Women's Club a couple times recently and cross country skiing with Rebecca on Saturdays. We're going to try snowshoeing this weekend.
My social life seems to have exploded recently. Here I was afraid I would be left all alone in my little cabin on the hill, but au contraire, everyone wants to go to lunch, dinner, coffee, drinks, hiking, skiing. Still no love life, but where would I fit it in?
Writing and freelancing, you ask? Well, I'll tell you about that next time. Right now I need to go get a couple of seriously overdue invoices typed up and sent off.
Toodles.

Keep expanding that social life...a dating life may follow!
And I got my package today! THANK YOU!!!
But I don't have tiiiiime!
Re: the package -- I thought about doing a contest, but I figured you'd win it anyway.
:-)
P.S. I just sent out my invoices (my first two!) using PayPal's invoice template.
It was surprisingly easy. And surprisingly thrilling!
I <3 paypal. And having a social life. I wanted to say that your life sounds like an 'in love with your life' life. Your 'love life' is sure to follow. :)
it's a shame. if you two were more on the ball you could have come to vermont this past weekend and participated in the primitive biathlon. here's a piece on VPR about it.
Wow. I just browsed through your handbag flickr thread thing. I thought Julia was the only handbag nutjob, but now I see you are legion. It makes me kinda nervous. . . .
Thanks, Cat! I hope you're right.
Matt: Snowshoes and muzzle loaders, huh? Maybe next year ....
Chris: I don't know what kind of handbag nutjob Julia is, but in my defense, I have to say I'm not one of those women that spends thousands of dollars on multiple designer handbags. I just want ONE bag that functions extremely well.
handbag nutjob
That sounds kind of kinky, doesn't it?
That sounds kind of kinky, doesn't it?
Incredibly. Heh.
Julia loves expensive handbags but doesn't buy them. She has several and has some system for having a portable inner bag thing or something to make swapping around more efficient, I don't know. Me, I just want to remember to leave behind or throw out hotel keycards before my wallet gets too thick.
