Vacation
by Denise Sawicki on December 22, 2006
Well I requested some time off work until January 3rd... For the price of 4 vacation days I get 11 days off. We're going to go visit my husband's older brother in Wisconsin around New Years... Too bad I don't have any anxiety medication or anything because I might need to be heavily drugged up in order to face the pileup of work that's going to be there when I return, without screaming... Hehe, you know I'm messed up when I'm already pondering the end of vacation before it starts. I'm a glass-half-empty kind of person. Sigh. Seriously though, I should try to work in shorter vacations in the future because they're less stressful.

I'm (finally) on vacation until the 8th or 9th (since the 8th is my birthday, I haven't decided on it yet), and -- not to be flip or callous, but -- thank you, Mr. Ford, for the extra day of leave that I won't have to spend. You were a good man.

We didn't wind up going to Wisconsin. Long story. I went back to work a day early. Still a good long relaxing vacation!

Haircuts and dandelions
So I cut off all my hair this weekend, about 16 inches of it. Now it is above chin length. I like it better this way but can't be bothered to get it cut more than once a year (I think I went 2 years this time). Go »The Political Thing
The political thing I hinted at in my first blog entry is over for now. The signatures have been safely delivered to Bismarck. Anyway, here it is, the North Dakota Shared Parenting Initiative, at http://ndspi.org. Go »Flood
So... not sure exactly why I live in this ridiculous state of North Dakota. I can tell myself that we're better off than California much of the time but who's to say? Go »A wish
You know, it would be nice to be the kind of person who could sometimes do or say things *without* regretting them. I think that would be on my top three list of wishes :) Just to turn off a part of my brain. It's really freakin cold out. Go »Another Irritating Thing
The Indian episode isn't the only irritating thing that happened with The Cedars recently. A while before that, Darrell received an e-mail from someone claiming to be from MTV saying they had listened to his songs on the Jones Soda website, liked them, and wanted a CD to consider including in their show. Now this sounds like an obvious fake, but the thing is, some research showed that the person who sent the e-mail does exist and does work at MTV, the e-mail address was verifiable, the phone number led to a seemingly legitimate voice mail, and the address was an actual office at MTV.
