UGH.
My computer is playing tricks on me.
It’s connected to a big screen.
And has decided to amplify everything.
I mean everything.
Working on my computer is a challenge.
All the fonts are 24 point - or more.
Normal screens shots don’t work.
I only see a tiny piece of the big picture.
As a big picture person, this is driving me [...]

At Disneyland.
I spent this week speaking at Disneyland.
Came in a day early.
As a snow precaution.
And to check out the park - my first time.
Disneyland is a pretty neat place.
A wealth of history.
Fascinating service.
And fun rides.
Also a ton of lines.
Long lines.
That may take more than an hour.
For an ride that may take less than five [...]

What do you think?
I’m still not sure how to be…
Ticked off?
Laughing my head off?
Sick to my stomach?
On Tuesday afternoon, I got the munchies.
We have a “Cynthia space” in our cupboard.
I keep healthy snacks there.
That won’t give me a sugar crash.
I noticed some new cookies.
James had gone shopping while I was gone.
They looked good.
And were in [...]

Barely!
Last night I flew home.
Baltimore to Detroit.
Short flight.
No-brainer, right?
Wrong - not last night!
I was comfortable in seat 2C.
Just asked for a Diet Coke.
In the corner of my eye it all started.
A woman lunged towards the drink cart.
My heart sank.
Something green started coming out of her mouth.
The passenger behind me bodychecked the woman.
She twisted sideways [...]

Or bad dog?
James and I were upstairs in the office.
Raindrop came up.
A STRONG peppermint smell followed her.
What did she do?
Raindrop got creative this afternoon.
Decided to help freshen up the house.
Cracked open a bottle of peppermint oil.
And dumped it on my favorite chair in the family room.
At least that’s her story.
I use the oil to [...]

Raindrop here.
Ruby lives down the street.
I don’t like her.
She’s red and evil.
Always frozen in place.
I bark at her every time I pass.
She just stares into the distance.
As if she’s better.
And ignores me.
Dad says Ruby’s fake.
A statue.
A yard decoration.
Moved around by her owners.
But I know better - Ruby’s just mean.
As Mom always says, makes me think [...]

You think?
December is Big Idea month.
According to ASAE and the Center’s Acronym blog.
They asked association bloggers to play along.
I’m being a team player - with a Cynthia twist of course.
Decided to play the “What if…” game for chapters.
You are invited to join in.
What are crazy ideas you could apply to chapters?
Especially if there were [...]

Just listening.
Today I was put on hold by a major corporation.
20 plus minutes.
For a simple request.
(But that’s beside the point.)
The hold music got me bad.
A heavy beat.
Combined with sonic scales.
Blasting in my ears.
My stomach followed it up and down and up and down…
Had a gut reaction to the music.
And almost got sick.
Talk about a [...]
