Lots has happened since my last blog entry (ha!). I'm no longer working for Caremark (not at my choosing) so I'm on the prowl for work, like so many of my fellow Americans. I did do a little professional development by attending a class on Dreamweaver at Harper College in Palatine--pretty respectable school, I must say. I felt just like a college student for the entire two days I was there...a really, really OLD one, but albeit still a student. It was fun running around with all those young whippersnappers getting my brain cells going.
I have been trying to learn the Adobe Creative Suite all by myself and discovered something wonderful called Adobe TV and lynda.com. They are both really helpful tools for self-led courses on a variety of topics related to software. Now if I could only get my self to push a bit harder on the star pupil of my self contained classroom and complete more of the courses. Soon I'll be a Photoshop aficionado--just you wait and see.
Let's see....in the last 11 months since I started my blog what else have I done? Here's a quick re-cap:
-Babysat my adorable little nieces and nephews--I still have the magic touch
-Gone out to lunch/breakfast numerous times with my pal Eileen (when I'm in a quandary, I just wonder: "WWED?" She's that kind of friend)
-Lost my job (let's not dwell on that one)
-Watched every single episode of Law & Order (note the use of the "and" sign--only TRUE L & O fans know the correct spelling) Criminal Intent
-Discovered that there is a Law & Order UK out there that even uses the same "dunh-dunh" sound (not sure about that spelling but you know what I mean)
-Learned that I have high blood pressure and despite all my whining and moaning that medication is something that I have to accept
-Let my hair go completely gray--I like it, so does Nacho, my butcher. He said so.
-Driven to Champaign and back, I dunno, 14 times?
-Cleaned up lots of cat pee
-Started tweeting and tumblring (I'm about as good as that as I am at blogging)
-Resolved that I'm going to try to be a better blogger
That's it for today. See you in less than 11 months--I promise.
