(sigh)

Wow. Two full weeks of family, friends, holidays, and all the eating and drinking that goes along with it can really tucker a girl out. Especially when it involves three states, four cities, and a five year “BFF.” (I even have a bracelet to prove it.)

I’m completely unprepared to return to the working world, but wouldn’t change how any single moment of time was spent.

Here’s to a fun-filled, crazy-busy and happy 2009!

Cheers!

Big news

I got a Facebook account!

And…. Whit and I got engaged while we were in Paris!

Tue Dec 2
Yesterday Whit and I “celebrated” our seven-year anniversary.  And by “celebrated” I mean we both forgot until about 9pm - whoops! It’s not like us to forget - suppose we were tired from the long holiday weekend away from home.
What did we do to celebrate? Opened a bottle of a nice red French wine - because that’s where we’ll be for a week starting on Saturday! Whit has to go for work, where he’ll be filming for his boss at the LeWeb Conference, which is run by his boss.
Exciting!

Jury summons 2008

Went to the courthouse for jury summons this morning. At first they were selecting for an asbestos case (which was estimated to last two months!) - fortunately, I had a “legitimate” excuse of already-booked travel coming up. What that meant was being reassigned to the afternoon selection, which was for a motor-vehicle accident trial (estimated to last 3 days). After the lunch break I showed up, waited, and read Winkie until the judge came in. More good news - that case was settled during lunch - so me and the other 80+ people in the room were good to go. Score!

A (partial) report of my life

As much as friends are trying to convice me to get on Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking tools - I remain resistant. Instead, I have Flickr, I’ve taken up Tumblr - which is great (obviously), and recently got an account with DAYTUM. This application was developed by Nick Felton of the Feltron Annual Report. It must be the mild obssessive-compulsive deep within me that loves the detailed, amazingly thorough daily reporting this guy does to create intriguing reports of regular life - such as time-to-activity per day, books read per year, music listening by location, miles travelled by method, or number of teeth lost by his cat. DAYTUM only allows six data sets per account, but I’m still enjoying keeping track of different elements in life. I’ve only been tracking since November 8th, but my data sets can be viewed at http://www.daytum.com/thisisclaire

Two years ago from today, Whit and I left the Bay Area for a six month trip around the world. It brings both joy and pain to remember the trip - pain because I am back at work, and joy because the memories are still so vivid (I mean, how can you forget a dog wearing a t-shirt?). Thankfully, we were very adamant about keeping our blog up to date - chock full of entries, photos, and videos, so reminiscing is possible anytime. Here’s to travelling - let there be more of it!
