I like Firefox.
...over the past few months I've dabbled in the Firefox world, and I must admit it has a great deal to offer. In addition to Stumbling (a fantastic down-time filler) it saves passwords, does its own spell check... and, gosh darn it, when Internet Explorer won't let me send out an Evite.com invitation or play a Scrabulous game on Facebook, Firefox has come to the rescue.
At some point I'll transfer my bookmarks over... not sure if there's a simple way to import them. but just wanted to say Hooray for Firefox, a very nice IE alternative.

In other news I went back to work today after one glorious week's vacation. Which was such a blessing. I've been asking for prayer to balance work/home life better... it's a struggle, especially since I've spent so much time investing in a work/professional identity. perhaps that's why I'm single - been putting the nose to the grindstone for so long, I've gone and grown up and 8 years have passed by like *snap* that.

Met some really nice people last week through working on a project at church. Had dinner with two of them over the weekend, and hope they'll develop into friendships. I've been needing everyday friends... and perhaps, either together or separately, we'll become friends.
The church project also had its downfalls, mostly the "boys club" at the church, and one church intern who was very critical of the artists' contribution to said project. I have a call into the lead intern, but I'm afraid he 1) won't hear my concerns and suggestions 2) will be loyal to boys' club instead of listening to my experience and hopefully be open to modifications in the future... we shall see.
A few years ago a friend of mine turned 40. We had been friends for several years...we knew each other pretty well. She was becoming more outspoken at work, taking more risks, being more vocal... she said "I don't know if it's because I'm turning 40, but I'm putting my thoughts out there now like never before"
At that moment, I made a decision: I"m not waiting until I'm 40 to say things when they need to be said.
This has its own up and down sides... but overall, I can look myself in the mirror and know I did what needed to be done when needed.
There's a quote I really like - goes something like this: Don't be afraid to go out on a limb - that's where the fruit is"
