  So to speak...........I just uploaded some new shots in the Gallery.  Don't get too ill when you see them.I am still busier than hell these days.  This Saturday they are making me Point for the day, and not just for a specific exhibit.  I will be in charge of the department.  This is something I hav...

• From the trenches

  by Meredith Newton November 15, 2007
  I could write another whole blog about the museum, and how damn stupid people can be.  I could also write about the funny stories.  I have been putting insanely long hours at the museum.  I did two Friday Snoozeums in a row, both were on the Zephyr, including the infamous night where I gave myself a...

• Getting excited

  by Meredith Newton October 14, 2007
  Next weekend is the Night Out.  There will be some activities since there will be at least one attendee(!).  At the very minimum I get to meet another TW sister in person. Robybn Webb put me in contact with someone who is quite prominent in the Chicago TG scene.  I had a nice talk with her - Cyndi R...

  Sure, I have a lot more new stories about the goings-on at the museum.  One thing I am doing for sure is really getting them ready for the big announcement.A coworker Amanda was once doing her nails.  When she finished she said "Who wants their nails done?"  I put out my left hand and she ...

• Meredith FAQs

  by Meredith Newton September 12, 2007
  Lately I have been speaking to some of you newer members on the phone, communicating through e-mail, etc., and many of you have asked questions that I seem to have to address from time to time.  No, this is not selfish self-promotion, but questions I encounter on a regular basis.  Here we go again.W...

• Night out

  Do you ever get the feeling that no matter what you do, and try to do, or say, for that matter, you just can't please some people?  Oh, well.  Lord Krishna said I am responsible to action, but not entitled to the fruits of my action.Yep, last week, August 29, the anniversary.  I re-read what I wrote...

• Anniversary of a nightmare

  by Meredith Newton August 30, 2007
  Today is a rather interesting anniversary for me........It was two years ago today that I was forced out of my home, sent to a hospital for almost ten days, and then spending almost a full year living a nightmare.  I lost my marriage, house, car, you name it, shunned by almost everyone, no place to ...

• Anniversary, helping, and complications

  by Meredith Newton August 27, 2007
  As I posted in the blogs, me and Lexi just had our one year anniversary.  While we spent it apart, we still exchanged cards and a romantic phone call.  Some of y'all put us down at times but we hung in there.  She is planning on coming up here next month.  I cannot wait.Things were almost getting co...

• Not much for talking

  by Meredith Newton August 24, 2007
  We've been having a lot of violent storms here in the Chicago area.  It is wild to watch the lightning over the lake.Anyhow, I am not much in the mood for any sort of talking.  Right now about 99.99 percent of the human race has found some way to irritate me, so for now I am just crawling into my li...
