I'm predicting surgery (and I welcome it)

Posted Friday, October 31, 2008 11:30 AM by HeatherLeigh
I'm super sick of going to the doctor. My sinus issues are going on week 6, I think? Done the antibiotics, multiple boxes of Tylenol Sinus, cough syrup, Nasonex. I think they call this chronic sinusitis (that's my best guess). I looked on Web MD and I Read More...

To celebrate Halloween, I'm bleeding

Posted Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:13 AM by HeatherLeigh
I didn't think about the timing when I set the appointment, but today when I give blood, I am going to officially think of it as a Halloween celebration. So it's strategic bleeding. As much as I love Halloween, I don't do much. I have never been the type Read More...

Veal meet sunlight. Well, kind of.

OK, ok. I am a sucky blogger. I guess I have been pre-occupied. The reign of the month-long hacking cough is coming to an end. I braved the third world waiting room (no offense to the third world) of the urgent care office to get some meds. When I told Read More...

Putting an end to the crap mail and phone books

Posted Wednesday, October 15, 2008 1:21 PM by HeatherLeigh
I'm trying to cut down on the paper that gets delivered to my house (Free Sunday Seattle Times? No, thanks). I think I already blogged about CatalogChoice , which has greatly reduced the number of catalogs I receive (though Victoria's Secret is relentless!). Read More...

I don't want to hear that Microsoft is uncool ever again. To my knowledge, no Microsoft employees were involved in the making of THIS: Anyway, I tried to imagine one of us, OK me, bopping around my friend's rich daddy's house in a bathing suit matching Read More...

I've stopped dating guys with cats

Posted Thursday, October 09, 2008 5:02 PM by HeatherLeigh
Because of those experiences, I can tell you, with almost absolute certainty, that this guy had it coming: See more funny videos and TBT Videos at Today's Big Thing . Besides, to me, it looked like he started it. Read More...

File under "disturbing for the holidays"

Posted Wednesday, October 08, 2008 11:57 AM by HeatherLeigh
It would have been slightly less disturbing if they weren't all lined up like a buffet (and if some of them weren't passed out like they just took a shot of Nyquil). Hat tip to Defamer Speaking of which, my new "thing" is the best TV show that you aren't Read More...

How to answer the uncomfortable resume question "why did you leave this employer?" when the decision wasn't exactly yours

Posted Wednesday, October 08, 2008 11:11 AM by HeatherLeigh
Ah, it happens to the best of us. Let me just say that when I was in high school, Waldenbooks HATED me. HATED! Fortunately, I didn't have to put my many high school jobs on my resume (you might be surprised at some of the jobs I did). Anyway, if you have Read More...

So two shrinks walk into a bar. How does that make you feel?

Posted Tuesday, October 07, 2008 12:54 PM by HeatherLeigh
Cue rim shot. Thank you, thank you. OK, seriously (we say that a lot in Seattle, evidently). I have been planning to share about this group I am a part of but I didn't really know how to talk about it here. But I think the time is right and really, I Read More...

Attention youngsters: you have many years of acting like a jackass in front of you.

Posted Tuesday, October 07, 2008 10:56 AM by HeatherLeigh
OK, so now I can talk about my trip to Chicago a few weeks ago. I learned a big lesson about allergies and pre-medication. But all that didn't really set in until I had finished the debauchery portion of my trip. I'm still pretty sure that driving through Read More...

Four things

Posted Monday, October 06, 2008 5:06 PM by HeatherLeigh
Having not been at my best lately (health-wise....feeling much better now), mail and responsibilities stack up. The world of work doesn't stop just because I'm sleeping off an illness (or coughing up a lung, irrigating my sinuses, etc.). Managing my inbox, Read More...

The state of the economy and what I get paid to do

Posted Wednesday, October 01, 2008 3:12 PM by HeatherLeigh
So aside from my personal annoyance with the news reports about the economy (I have some very specific things I want to do with my money once the stock market rebounds), you may wonder if the economy has any impact on the world of Heather (or HeatherLeigh Read More...
