Still working out the details.

Almost a week since my last post?  Unacceptable.

Work is going very well.  I enjoy my job.  I enjoy working in an office where people seem to also enjoy their jobs.  Bonus:  I believe in what I’m doing here.  And there are windows.  Double bonus.

The new apartment is almost entirely unpacked.  Which is both shocking and wonderful.  The Cardboard Box Coalition 2006 has left to find another venue to hold their meetings.  Thank goodness.  They left crumbs everywhere from the cucumber sandwiches 

Chris and I went to the Westport Fine Arts festival on Saturday.  The artwork was exquisite.  And although the sky looked mildly threatening, these people and their $8,640 pieces of artwork remained happily in their assigned kiosks.  I can’t imagine the mental monologues that must have taken place:  “My goodness.  Looks like rain could come pouring down at any moment.  Hmmmm.   Logic would dictate I should move my overpriced painting.  However, I do not concern myself with matters of money.  Oh bother, is that a thread loose on my Brooks Brother’s sportcoat?”

FireFox is kicking my arseExist Magazine is generating a decent buzz and I’m very happy with the feedback so far.  Not so happy with the Internet Explorer vs. Firefox issue.  Vexes me as I type this.  A solution is being created for the August issue.  On that note, I am having trouble with jpeg images across the board here.  If you see a broken image on S.U.M., please email me and let me know.  I'm knee-deep in my FTP site and may need the Outsider's Perspective to fix these issues.  I have bought an industrial size tub of Tylenol in preparation for the headache.  And some black raspberry ice cream.  It is delicious stuff.

The low bloodsugars are tapering off a small bit.  I’m very relieved.  Apparently, it’s taking me a few weeks to settle back into a schedule but now that my body is starting to adjust, bloodsugars are calming back down.  Also, it's an honor to hear that  "I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Gym" is featured as a medal-winner on this week's Patient-Consumer Parade.  Check out this site if you haven't already!  My favorite chef

We saw “An Inconvenient Truth” last night at our quaint local movie theater.  This movie gave me a hybrid anxiety attack and desire to recycle.  Very frightening concept and the visual representations of the effects of global warning have been jumping into my mind all morning long.  Check out the website if you have a minute.  And buy a Civic hybrid, if you have $25,000. 

And l love Ikea.  Love it.  There was something missing from my life before.  I now realize that it was a bunch of Swedish furniture.

Update:  "McGyver Morrone" has been featured in this week's Grand Rounds, hosted by Jenni over at Chronic Babe.  Posts from fellow d-bloggers Amy, Lyrecha and Rachel are also highlighted.  Pop on over to Chronic Babe and take in the Grand Rounds, ChronicBabe-style.

Congrats on:
1) digging the new job,
2) unpacking in record time,
3) your patient-consumer recognition,
4) and your discovery of Ikea (their meatballs really are worth trying -- I know it sounds crazy going to a furniture store for meatballs, but it's true, it's worth it).

As for the Firefox vs. IE dilemma, I just battled it myself. Here are two links that I found immensely helpful in figuring it out:

Hope these help.

how are the cats in their new home??

I keep hearing RAVE reviews of An Inconvenient Truth. I've got to make a point to see it.

And I LOVE Ikea. They have great cheap knick knacks and little stuff like that.

I am with vicki, in wondering, how are the cats doing?

I just adore Siah!

Oh and I love your blog too Kerri!

yes, must have cat update!

Kevin - Thanks for the weblinks. I'm checking those sites out tonight, over a nice steaming cup of ... Tylenol.

Shannon - The movie deserves rave reviews. Anyone who says that global warming is a farce should be hog-tied and forced to see this movie. Go see it. The time-lapse photographs of the icebergs will catch your breath in your throat.

Vicki, Donna and Rachel - The cats are alive and well and will be the Stars of a blog post later this week.

Excuse me... I have to go get Siah Sausage off the bookcase.

hi kerri,

i think my female cat is like siah, she's been to the vet today for a shot. she's sulking now, but still getting into trouble. her favorite place is behind the dustbin (trash can) for you guys in the kitchen.

the little boy is usually good but last night he was sat between some ornaments on the shelves in the living room.

ahhh need eyes and ears everywhere!!!!!

:o)

Good site. Thank you.
