Touching Base with Blogosphere!

Ok...its been several months since I've posted anything on here. Its not as if I don't have a lot to say. I guess I still haven't really found my "internet voice." That - and the fact that I work in front of a computer screen for 10-14 hours a day on many days makes me not that interested in spending more time on here.

However, today I feel the need to gab a bit!

The AX project I've been working on for almost a year is coming to an end. There have been so many months, days, and hours of blood, sweat, and almost some tears. We go live on Monday June, 1st and although I wish we had a wee bit more time (always the case), we are really going live on Monday! Cross your fingers that it all goes well. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the automotive industry is not exactly BOOMING - so, the first day of go-live shouldn't be too traumatic....and since GM is the company's biggest customer and they may very well file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy at any moment - things shouldn't be too hectic (small silver lining to an otherwise dark cloud, economically).

I'm excited for this project to be over as I hope to have a bit more time at home. I miss out on so much by being on the road. I really miss Oscar and I miss my dogs too. Who wouldn't miss these beautiful beagle babies. By the way, that's the sun shining on my backyard! I can't tell you how exicted I am that there is warm sun in the sky these days. Bring on summer.

Some of the things I'm excited to do when I'm home: cook more - I'm working my way through a cookbook...that was one of my new's years resolutions - I picked a cookbook and I'm going to make my way through the entire book, cooking every recipe at least once. The problem is that I've already repeated several recipes already - because I am a creature of habit and when something is so good and really hits the spot, you start craving it. In any case, I'm working my way though "The Splendid Table - How to Eat Supper" - which was written by Lynn Rosetto Kasper and Sally Swift. They host/produce a radio show about food called the Splendid Table on NPR. Check out their website and I highly recommend tuning into the show and/or downloading the podcasts - you wouldn't believe how enterataining a radio/cooking show about food can be!! http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/

I have pondered and played around with the idea of turning this blog into a foodie blog of sorts...and that just may very well happen. Not just yet though. However, I promise to start sharing some original and/or favorite recipes in the near future...and maybe some other food info/finds, etc.

Oooh, also...its looking increasingly more likely that I'll end up in university again very soon. More on that later...still waiting on a few things to fall into place before I make a final decision.

Ok - I'm signing off before this coach turns into a pumpkin. The morning will be here before I want it to be.

A bientot mes amis!
