101 Updates

I promised updates as I get through my 101 Things list, so I’d better get on that.
The very first item to be crossed off?  Item #90 – Laugh Until I Cry.
Completed 11 November, 2008 when my cousin Megan forwarded me “Oh Mom!“
The very second item to be crossed off?  Item #18 – Invest In A [...]

Hello Hello Hello

Apologies for the long absence.  No, there were no fiery Aer Lingus explosions anywhere over the Atlantic but there was a small and silent death of my old laptop.  Thankfully I had already budgeted for a new one (and I’m typing to you from a brilliant new MacBook) and for some reason had saved the [...]

Change of Plans

So, massive change of plans on this end.  I’m now heading to the States tomorrow for a very extended holiday season.  Which means that today I’m just glad my head is screwed on because otherwise it would have fallen off hours ago.

Question of the Week

I’m not even sure why I said that, aside from being cranky and argumentative.  Thankfully I’m having lunch today with a friend [...]

Tapped Out

After the work it took to come up with my 101 things in 1001 days post I’m afraid I’m all tapped out today.  It’s dull outside, I’m tired and I’m sick to death of coverage of the American election.  Poor me.  Whaaa.  Hopefully I’m in better form tomorrow.  Until then I’m hiding out from all [...]

101 Things In 1001 Days

I’m coming a little late to this party, but this weekend I was forwarded details of The 1001 Day Project and I spent the whole weekend wondering if I could come up with a list of 101 things that I wanted to get done in the next 1001 days.  Turns out I could.
I’m going to [...]
