Miscellany of a Cheshire Cat

A long week followed by a short weekend. I feel cheated.
The basil and hot peppers survived Pennsic just fine and are still profusely green and lush. I am not a patient person so it’s hard for me to resist harvesting the peppers now. I’m trying to wait until they’re a little more mature! The purple flower pictured here came along with the pink peonies. I’d almost forgotten about the non-peony plants! I forget what they’re called but they’re going strong!

I started poking at revising my resume this weekend. Goodness how I hate working on my own resume. I have to get into a whole different mindset to talk about what I can do and have achieved in the right language to get myself an interview. I may have to do a quick and dirty sarcastic spoof of my resume just to get it out of my system.
After that maybe I’ll be able to achieve a serious linguistic elegance appropriate for my resume.

Or maybe I’ll just send out a really entertaining resume.

I have yet to do a Pennsic recap beyond “weather was great, friends were loved, fun was had.” (Which may be all I need to say!) I’m still sorting through photos. I have a ton from Opening Ceremonies and now I want to know who all the pretty banners belong to so I may be enlisting the help of the masses.

I have created a bunch of to-do lists post-Pennsic. One list has long-term projects I want to do and the others are shorter-term – daily or weekly. The cool thing about the lists? I’m giving myself permission to skip items and not complete everything on the short term lists. Very decadent to be able to just leave things on the list with no guilt! Yes, I’m weird. But I’m more productive this way.
