Day 2

Its getting hot in here, lets take off all our clothes! (ok, wishful thinking - mind over manner, you know? - brrrrr!)

Waltham has its new website up http://www.walthamtheband.com/ . I can't listen to sound here, and don't have time to do the 80's movie trivia to see the hidden features. Neat site! Jet Fuel is doing a show on the 29th, figures we have plans that night! Maybe we'll catch Frank and Craig's show next Monday (after going by A's opening).

I didn't eat great food last night and didn't get to work out, but I did get some progress made on the Han Solo shirt. I am SO sick of working on the thing but I'm not starting another sewing project until I'm done with it. If I can get the pattern done I'll need to seek out the fabric, and finish it once and for all. I best get some new Mara Jade leather work out of this (the stuff I have doesn't sit right on my hips, and is kind of ratty). After sewing work I spent some time watching Center Stage (while I played with knitting in the round - I need a different sized needle for the project I'm doing - a Slytherin scarf for Brian - so it didn't work out quite that well).

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

What I don't understand

is why someone would want to do grant writing professionally on purpose. I know, one person's trash, another person's exciting geeky pursuit. Still, this project is driving me insane!

The application is due on 1/21. We'll know some time in late Feb or March if we've been picked for phase 2 of the application process. Though I'd love us to get this funding, I can also say I'd be relieved to be done pulling data for the project if we don't make it to phase 2. At least I've been told that the CEO is aware of my efforts and appreciative of them.

Off to do some of my own work now. Thus far I've spent 57 hours working on this project over the last couple of weeks (on top of the regular work I'm supposed to be doing). Geesh! I need some tea. I'm still using up some of Upton's Christmas Tea blend. Once that and some others are drunk it will be time to order more goodies (first though, spices from Penzeys!).
