Randomness of Life

So the matching avatar is a little late, because the public computer I was on yesterday doesn't support avatars, or more specifically, it doesn't support flash. But I still wanted to put it up. I decided not to rent a costume at the faire, but it was lots of fun anyway. :) And there were lots of other folks in costume to enjoy.

We've had exceptionally clear weather the past few days--all the smog has been up in the clouds. That makes the clouds look purplish gray, but it means you can see all the detail in the distance. It makes the views at work and on my commute really nice. Work has been really good lately, and I've got a promise of more hours starting in Jan.

Am feeling glad to have introduced a friend to some of my current favorite music through my blog postings. I'm in a pit of an experimenting mode, have been checking out CD's of artists I like on the radio, to see if I like their albums. Discovered this morning that the album I'd been putting off playing (because I was concerned I wouldn't like it) was actually pretty good. Not sure I'd buy it, but no songs I had to skip. Whereas the album I was pretty sure I'd like at least some of the songs on, I ended up skipping every song I didn't already know from radio play, because I found either the sound or the lyrics offensive. Definitely will not be buying that!

Have a long weekend (Thurs-Mon) because of clients being out of town. Must remember to get to the Meet the Doulas Night this month! (It's the same one I forgot last month.)

Have joined another church group and volunteered to put in a good bit of time before realizing how, um, time consuming that would be. Possible oops there, but we shall see. Am trying not to overcommit.
