Intermittently throughout the day, I’ve been dealing with blog issues that I won’t go into detail here. However, out of this whole dealing process I must say that leaving my ITCM look/theme has been more difficult than at first I’d imagined. But it must be done… and so I’m on the lookout for a new theme that will do the following for this blog:

• Support widgets. Got to have those here, including one that is Flickr related to display photos.
• Allow me to change the banner. Generic banners are just. not. my. style.
• Simple yet elegant. I don’t do the busy look - less is more.

Anyway, that’s only a small part of what I’ve dealt with in this blog today… that and the question of Do I really want to deal with the crap that goes along with maintaining a blog anyway? Yes, I’m unhappy about recent blog-related events, and yet not ready to throw in the towel after a lost Saturday. Stay tuned.

Life has changed immensely since I’ve gone full-time as a SAHM/technology consultant, and I just love it. More than words can describe, actually. But let me share something that really kind of creeped me out when I arrived back at the Mother House to work on a computer today…

As I walked down the hall past my former office, the one with my desk and files still intact, I caught a glimpse of a high ranking employee looking through important documents that I’d saved before leaving the organization. At first, this didn’t bother me a bit. But then I started rummaging through my brain trying to remember all of what I’d left in those files, and I wondered what in the world this person wanted with the printouts left behind.

I’m sure this happens all of the time after an employee leaves an organization, but usually the former employee doesn’t get a chance to witness it personally like I did today. It was a surreal moment… kind of out-of-body-ish to be exact.

Spooky.

Ordinarily, the Catholic Family and I would’ve attended the NU spring football game in Lincoln, NE. But this year, we missed it due to a flu-bug situation with a certain small person who needed extra rest at home on game day. Things work out that way sometimes. But no worries, because we watched highlights of the game on TV which was just fine by us. The excitement and anticipation of a new Bo Pelini football era is completely contagious, whether we attended the game in real life or watched the aftermath on television. Good times are back!

Speaking of which, did you see the big NU write-up in Sports Illustrated last week?! It’s true! Our little red and white team made SI, leaving everyone in the state all puffed up with pride and with big heads over the whole thing. The newscasters and reporters even held up copies for all to see during a news broadcast, as they smiled all wide-eyed. I mean, this is not your no name magazine folks - it’s SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. Which leads me to wonder if the media is pumping Husker Nation up for a big letdown all over again, leaving all those cornhead hats smushed up in the wake of all this hysteria. I don’t think I can bear it again after what Callahan did to the team. So sad.

*ohhm* Positive thoughts here. *ohhm*

Off in search of that ‘Tunnel Walk‘ video. Now that’s inspiration.

Here at my blog, that is. Because between enjoying Spring Break and working on consulting projects, this here blog has been slightly abandoned. Not on purpose, of course, but it just seems that whenever I sit down to post something lately, I’m all: Where in the world do I start? With so many things going on, how do I focus on any ONE thing?

Focus. Focus ITCM. You can do it girl.

Alrighty then, so let’s talk about my latest Target gadget find:
A Microsoft wireless mouse.

While it’s just a simple thing, I did a little squeal after finding it between shopping for socks and underwear for the kids at the new local Super Target. And now I’m loving that my other travel mouse is no longer annoying me with its pesky cord. Technology is so sweet! What in the world took me so long to make this eensy little swap? As if underwear shopping triggered some sort of neural connection in my brain telling me to head over to the electronics department to ogle over wireless computer gadgets? What a scary thought.
