It should have been a pretty good clue that it was coming when for three days in a row, I woke up and couldn't see anything. Then I went throughout the day with my eyes being so puffy that they were swollen half shut.

I've developed some nasty sore throat thing. I did some research today and don't think it is strep, which is a good thing. I think the airway in my throat is about a wide as a pea, which is unfortunate, but oh well. At least it is now and now 2 1/2 weeks from now.

Hum Your Favorite Tune

We're trying to put together a wedding video for our dinner program. We're supposed to think of songs that will play while it shows pictures of us growing up. I'm drawing a blank. Anyone have any good suggestions?

(And yes, I know the phrase for the title should be hymn, but we were instructed no hymns for the video)

Crazy Times

I keep thinking I'm getting things done, and then someone reminds me of one of the other things that has to be done...

Does this Make Me Look Fat?

For work, I am in charge of one of the funding panels. What that means is I facilitate a group of community volunteers who are in charge of deciding if other nonprofit agencies in our community will receive funding from us at UW. Well, yesterday, we had toured the agencies and listened to a short presentation at each one.

Our first stop was at a crisis pregnancy agency. The director from there was very obviously directing her presentation at me. I noticed and thought it was a little bit weird, but then decided that since I was the person from UW and the person who had set the presentation up, she must assume that I had more clout than the other panel members (not true, I don't actually vote). Well, at one point in her presentation, she actually stopped herself and said, "Oh! I keep talking to you because you look SO YOUNG! I just feel like I'm talking with one of my clients...."

Talk about sitting there awkwardly while trying to think of something to say.

I have become a blogging failure. I have been so busy, and yet everytime I sit down to update this thing, I draw a blank...
