damn outlook

Sometimes I love outlook, which I have at work. It helps me organize and sort things, and keeps a to-do list, and I can color code things, etc. But today, after I've received a dozen email, and 5 of those email still have that checkmark by them that I use to indicate that I still have to do something about the email, I'm feeling defeated. I mean, really? Five checkmarks that I couldn't plow through? Some days I leave one checkmark to take care of the next day or later that week, but I just can't deal with all five checkmarks/emails. Maybe my "outlook" will look brighter after I've had a rest.

6 wonderful years

Happy anniversary sweetie!
I love you!

family, family

Will and Sandy Litzler were visiting recently and just left yesterday. We had a good time and I got to see some WA state places I had never seen before, like Gig Harbor, Silverdale, Poulsbo. It sure is pretty in western washington!

And today my sister arrives for a work trip. I will get to see her because she was able to add on a day to her trip so we will see each other friday night and saturday until her plane leaves. Enough time for a group workout and some H&M shopping ;-)

I'm planning to do another dissertation day tomorrow because I've got to get some time in for writing. Unfortunately, I've also got an NSF proposal revision that is due in less than 2 weeks now, so that has been taking up quite a bit of my time. Hoping to get some help from others on the revision.
