Gem-like Flame: February 2012
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 16, 2012. Bad to Great to Just Good to.The Undiscovered Country. I have talked about my work situation several times in the past. And guess what time it is? Yeah, it's Howdy Doody time again. And in my 4-5 times going through the process, this has by far been the worst. Without going into huge amounts of detail, here are the basics:. The end of the contract is March 31. There is a possibility that the contract we will be rolled under is the contract I left in July 2010 to come here.

Gem-like Flame: February 2014
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. 39 Things to do Before I Turn 40. My birthday was Wednesday, I turned 39. As I said in a prior post, aging doesn't really bother me too much. Maybe that will change, but right now I just get amused by people (mostly women) who freak out at a grey hair or a wrinkle. I love the silver in my hair; I think it looks like glitter. How awesome is that? 39 things is harder than it sounds. So far I have 12 on the list. I will keep adding things; I have a year, right? I'm trying to avoid...

Gem-like Flame: August 2014
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 03, 2014. Me Update: Work, Health, Going Paleo. I haven't really written much lately, but loads of things have been going on. We'll start with work.I'll keep it brief. On to health, the main thing I've been. It didn't happen. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I didn't notice a change at all, except I started. Between the money, stress, and lack of any obvious symptoms whether I ate gluten or not, I really just got more stressed and anxious. I was also hoping to lose weight, which did...

Gem-like Flame: October 2010
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 04, 2010. Many, many moons ago, I wrote about my half sister. The post is here,. I'll wait while you go and refresh your memory. OK Good. Well, guess what? She contacted me on Friday. It's all good, don't worry. This past week has been a soap opera. Not only did dad go in the hospital last week and get a pacemaker (went fine, he wanted one, everything's great), but I had to break the news to him on Sunday about B getting in touch with me, and I had no idea how it was going to go.

Gem-like Flame: My First (Finished) Crocheted Garment!!
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2014/02/my-first-finished-crocheted-garment.html
Sunday, February 16, 2014. My First (Finished) Crocheted Garment! I do a lot of artsy-craftsy things. I used to make Temari balls. I make jewelry and sell it on Etsy (visit my Etsy store, see below on right for widget). I also learned to crochet in college and over the past couple years learned that there is more than the one stitch I was taught then and have been experimenting with a variety of different patterns. I just finished my first sweater! And here is the finished item:. I'm very happy with it&#...

Gem-like Flame: September 2010
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. No News, etc. I really don't have much to report, but I will break things down a bit and just gab:. House: the garden was a colossal failure this year between the drought, the heat, and me getting a new job. Matt spent most of his summer working on the garage, and that didn't help. See the garden blog for more info. Matt: see above. Also, (this is a secret), he is thinking of going back to school. Stink Bugs: they have invaded. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hyperbole and A Half.

Gem-like Flame: April 2014
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2014. Garden, or Not. We didn't do a garden last year. I was fed up from previous years of no help weeding, planting, weeding, picking things out to order, weeding, seeding, weeding, harvesting, and weeding. Did I mention weeding? I did plant garlic in the one herb bed we have, and it was a sorry crop. Small. Tasty, but small. I didn't even plant garlic this fall, since technically I'm not allowed to really eat it anymore (but I do). Two of the four raised beds are cleaned out now....

Gem-like Flame: January 2012
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. There is no Magical Path. A few years ago, I discovered a blog by an artist in Canada, and I’ve been a sporadic reader ever since. I found that she could put into words things I felt but couldn’t describe, and her posts were very therapeutic for me. But clearly, for awhile now, I’ve been unhappy. I’ve felt unsettled and awkward, almost like I was intentionally avoiding something. WHAT IF THERE WERE NO ANSWERS? Here’s one of them. This is soooo me. This is EXACTLY what I do&#...

Gem-like Flame: March 2012
http://gemlikeflame.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 23, 2012. The other position is a data entry person, which is up in the air. If they hire someone from off-campus, we are looking at a possible 4-6 month. He's also told me if I don't take the position he will hunt me down and kill all my chickens. He asked me "You.ARE planning on applying, right? And I said to him, "Gosh, I just don't KNOW! I mean, the position description says I need to know fractions! What will I *do*? So, I'm working on the Golden Retriever way of life right now. In our...
