CSS trumps Leah

Monday, 28 May 2007 12:48 P GMT-06
So much for the CSS wizard being a wizard.  I somehow killed the formatting of my blog.  Will be back to fight the CSS demons later.

June 28 to July 11, where will I be?

Sunday, 27 May 2007 8:42 A GMT-06
I'll be in Israel, of course, for ROI120 and a bit of sight seeing.  More important than the places I'll go, are the people I'll meet.I just had a reader delurk from Jerusalem and invite me for anything from coffee to shabbat with he

Another request for help.

Saturday, 26 May 2007 12:07 P GMT-06
Yeah, yeah, yeah.  So much for not blogging.  You all were so great about the ink stain options (I plan on dedicating part of my evening to fixing my jacket) that I wanted to ask for more help.How do you buy a mattress?1995-2000 I used coll

A cry for help.

Thursday, 24 May 2007 2:09 P GMT-06
I interrupt this hiatus to ask for help.  Pilot Pen + Air Travel + Anne Taylor Suit = AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAck!How do I get this out of my sleeve?  The dry cleaner refused to try.  REFUSED!  She said it would be best to cut t

Returning to hiatus.

Sunday, 20 May 2007 7:33 P GMT-06
I've been feeling very stressed lately and very stressed makes for boring blogging.  In order to get the stress down, I'm going off blog for a while.  I'll be back before I go to Israel at the end of June, but for now I'm go

Reiki

Sunday, 20 May 2007 8:31 A GMT-06
Last week a friend mentioned that she got a 15 minute reiki sample at our salon.  She had a very sore back from a long run and described the very hot sensation she felt when the reiki master put her hands over her back.  It reminded me of

Can't pick just one.

This week I added a ton of design blogs to my RSS reader.  TONS.  I love reading about design, even if it isn't my vocation.  Today through Swiss Miss I discovered the best new (to me) ecard site ever:  SomeEcards.   I j

Israel Politik

New blog for your pre-shabbat enjoyment.Israel Politik coming to you from the Consulate General in NYC.  The sister site (and the first blog of the Consulate) is Isrealli.Which reminds me... I talked to them about my Israel trip when Isrealli la

Why isn't Chicago the 6th Burrough of NYC?

Thursday, 17 May 2007 1:35 P GMT-06
I rarely wish I lived in New York City.  Rarely.  Today is one of those days when I really do wish that Chicago was the 6th Burrough of NYC, cause then I could go to an event that I had a small hand in organizing.  Remember in December

Cool blog.

Thursday, 17 May 2007 8:46 A GMT-06
I just found this blog that is primarily graphic and I'm in love with it.  I wish my Hebrew was much much better, can anyone translate the top post?

In brief

Wednesday, 16 May 2007 6:16 P GMT-06
I ran over to (gasp) Bennigans for a quick dinner and am back at my desk to try and work for a few more hours.  A few things in brief.1.  No, I won't be going out with Noah.  See below.  He's staying true to his vlogging a

Go on a date with Noah?

Tuesday, 15 May 2007 8:37 A GMT-06
Would it be to weird for a blogger and a vlogger to go on a date?  Knowing that I would blog it and he would vlog it?  And that all of our friends could then judge us and you would all see exactly how awkward I am on a date.  Erm. (Hat

Up two hours already

Tuesday, 15 May 2007 6:44 A GMT-06
On mornings like today, I get a glimpse of the life I'd like to be living.  I woke up at 5:30 with ease (and searing pain in my back) and started getting ready to meet my personal trainer.  Then she called and cancled, but I went to the

Packing my desk.

Monday, 14 May 2007 5:16 P GMT-06
Yes.  I'm packing up my desk at Edelman.  This is my third desk.  For my first two weeks, I sat in a teeny tiny corner cube on a high traffic corner.  Then for the next year I sat in a cube twice the size, but so packed with s

Alive and well.

Yes, I got home in record time last night.  Only 2.5 hours from my sister's house to the Hertz drop-off.  But then the CTA took another hour or so to get home.  All in all, the same amount of time there and back.

So nice, so nice.

Saturday, 12 May 2007 7:36 P GMT-06
Just a brief note to say that I'm having a wonderful weekend.  I got on the road at 6:01PM last night and worked my way through downtown traffic, onto 90/94 then to I-55 without problems.  I pulled up at my sister's house 3.5 hours

Must find a sweatshirt and get out of town.

Friday, 11 May 2007 4:05 P GMT-06
I picked up my jacket this morning and set it back down.  I picked up my sweatshirt and set it back down.  I now need to go buy a sweatshirt before I head to my sister's house for graduation.  Yes, she's graduating from Law Sch

Now this is romance.

Must pack suitcase. Or just sit here.

Behind the  AON building are a set of stairs.  This evenin there was a little bird on the stairs.  The man next to me walked by the bird and it didn't fly away.  I walked up next to it and then crouched down in front of it.&nb

Hitting the fan.

Wednesday, 9 May 2007 9:48 P GMT-06
In reverse, because my night was certainly better than the last 48 hours.  I think.  I don't even recall what I did last night, but I don't think I was home.  Oh! Right.  I did nothing but wander around the loop after work

Lest you think I'm graceful.

Tuesday, 8 May 2007 9:25 P GMT-06
This morning at the gym, my personal trainer had me working with the physio ball for most of the work-out.  She had me do that thing where you lie (lay) on your back, put the ball between your feet, lift your feet (and the ball) into the air and

Wandering around Chicago.

Tuesday, 8 May 2007 8:29 P GMT-06
I've been doing a lot of wandering lately.  Just looking at Chicago in a different way.  Thursday night Robert and I walked from The Fizz on Sheffield up to the Wilson stop of the Red Line.  Friday night we walked home from Leona&#
