Getting back into the swing of things...

I've pretty much been sitting behind the laptop for the whole day, alternately chatting away with everyone in the Wheels Jamaica chatroom or clattering away on an article that I'm working on. There are actually 2 that I'm doing. The one I'm writing now is the longer of the two on reggae artist Anthony B and his latest album "Untouchable" which I have here in the CD-rom drive and loaded up in Windows Media Player. I'm almost done with this article but it's been sweat and tears ehehe no blood just yet. It's taking me this long because I suppose I have to get back into the swing of writing. While I was in college it wasn't that bad but now I realize that tomorrow will make one year since I've graduated from University College Utrecht, by the way **Congratulations Kristina!** (UCU Website)

Luckily volunteering at the legal office kept me on my toes with writing and using Word and such :)

The second article is about half the length of the one I'm doing now so hopefully it doesn't take as long!

10 Months 1 Day

We've been married 10 months and 1 day today. Yes, that's a weird countdown to remember but trust me I have a bunch of countdowns going at the moment. There's the one for the time until J comes to Jamaica from the US that one's at 5 weeks and 4 days and then there's the time that it will take for some papers to be transfered, somewhere between 90 and 83 days.

The countdown to our anniversary is just built into my brain, after all I am female :)

The one for when J comes I use my MSN extra nickname space to count that one down.

Dinner from the new TGI Fridays that's here in Jamaica now. I got some chicken fajitas. Can't wait to just curl up with my book The Romanov Prophecy by Steve Berry.

High School Memories...

Here finding more interesting things. Just uncovered a stack of note paper which at first I was going to toss but then I realized what it was and now I have a new project. Written on these sheets of paper are what the people in my 5th form year wanted in the year book (that we never really got): self-descriptions, favorite songs and quotes, what they wanted to be at the time and what they figured they'd become. And my 5th form class was huge so it's a decent stack of papers.

This Wednesday is a general meeting of the Alumni Association at the high school. Hopefully I'll see someone from my year there because I plan to type these all out and make a compilation.

• Mood:how the project will turn out

Clean Sweep

Dee and I are watching 'Clean Sweep' on TLC and started talking about keeping t-shirts as momentos. So I jumped up and went to see if I could find the sorority rush shirt I got at Washington & Lee back in 2001. I didn't find the shirt - which is really sad because it had a cute Dr Seuss style jingle on it - but I've found quite a few other t-shrits and momentos that have made me happy.

I found the Wood's Creek Music Festival t-shirt (WLU), the Fancy Dress 2001 t-shirt (WLU), my Kostka house t-shirt (Campion) and a t-shirt from the CVM Saint International Face's of Summer Model Search from the year I was assigned to cover the competition.

In the same drawer under all those t-shirts I found a large envelope that along with other things had ALL my certificates from preschool and preparatory school! Apparently I was shrieking so loudly that when I said to Dee, "Guess what?" she immediately knew to ask, "What did you find?" LOL So I've started making plans to get color copies of them and get frames and then tuck these safely away in acid-free paper :-)

It's been a long time...

Wow it's a been a long time since I've updated this blog. I've decided to get back into it rather than opening My Space at MSN since this was already set up. I figure I just won't do extra long blog entries that way I can always log on and mash out something really quick. :)

• Mood:didn't sleep well
