I’m back at work on a Monday, and I’m not that thrilled about it. We’re trying to debug a process that can, occasionally, bring our production system to its knees. BLEAH!

David and I are going to start writing in journals every day. I’m doing it because I could probably use a little journal that only has tidbits about what happened that day and how I felt. David is doing it because I told him he has to… which is cruel, to be sure. He really doesn’t enjoy writing. That’s the main reason I’m making him do it. I figure, if he practices and gets better at expressing himself on paper, then doing his writing homework won’t be such a bloody big deal.

We’re all in school now. Arabic is one of the hardest academic things I’ve ever tried in my life, but I’m doing well in it and I’m looking forward to one day being conversant. For now I’ll have to settle for sounding like a semi-retarded preschooler.

As Charlie Brown might say, “Good grief.”

It’s been over a week since our home computer was connected to the internet. I’ve been upgraded in my DSL connection, for which I’m quite grateful… I’m even more grateful that it didn’t take longer than a week.

My Arabic class is going strong and I’ve learned quite a lot. There is so much more to learn. This semester is going to stretch my limits, I think.

I’ve added a wiki to this site. Check out the FreezerWiki if you want to see what I’ve done. There isn’t much to it, of course, right now… but maybe someday I’ll get it to where I want it.

I was thinking about making a TODO list that would allow various people to login and add tasks or mark them as completed. Maybe it would make for a first plugin to WordPress? Hmmm. I mean, all I need is a table (or two) to keep track of the lists… just need to think a bit about how to display them.

That could be fun!

Maybe this could be wiki functionality? Hey… now that might work!

I’m at work today and my body is not pleased. I’ve gotten so used to taking a nap when I need it, or eating when I feel like it that I don’t know what to do here. I wish I could telecommute.

I wonder how many times I’ve typed the letter “I” in my life. Seems like it must have been a ton, given how self-centered blogging is. Ah well.

We just got back last night from visiting in California for my brother’s wedding. I have pics, that I haven’t had a chance to clean up. I’ve attached them to this post. Let’s just say that we’d love to move there. Northern coastal California is one of the most beautiful places on earth. So there.

On the way back from the wedding we went over a mountain pass… Christina was driving and so was more or less immune to the motion sickness that rocked my world. I rebooted my stomach all over the place. *bows* For someone who rarely experiences marea del mar… lemme tell ya… puking in the mountains is the bomb diggity.
