7/25/06 The word of the week is: defunct. I think given the record three month lag in the word of the week, it is clear that this
section of my website is defunct. It seemed like a good idea when I put it up, but I have too much great and wonderful things going on
in my life to be pressured weekly by my own website. I will leave the archive up, but this is my last entry. Let's take a moment to reflect on
the life of the word of the week.... and, we're done.
Pamarama.com is all about ME ME ME. Obviously the most important people in my life have had, and will continue to have,
a strong influence on who that is. I do have a family site that I share with my husband at
DrDesmond.com (you'll notice some Pam-ness sneaking into the color scheme over there as well, but the
fact that the site has become essentially a digital photo journal of our lives is alllll John).
That leaves the Pam-A-Rama available as a room of my own, so to speak. A room I fill with ramblings, art,
and general random stuff that speaks to who I am.
Enjoy...
Welcome to Pamarama.com. I have finally decided, after years of a split professional/personal site, that my
work colleagues do not need to know that I belly dance, make beads, and study the tarot, and so this website was born.
If they follow the link from my professional site, that means they *want* to know this stuff.
It has also given me the freedom to really focus on the important things in my non-work life without feeling that I must tuck them in some
unobtrusive corner so they don't detract from my professionalism. I realized I can have both--a staid, boring, appropriate
professional site (with a very subtle celtic swirlie background and an orange shirt to remind myself that I am still me after all),
and this site, which is everything that one is not. I may have gone a little overboard with the daisies and
goofball Pam colors, but why not, I ask you. Why not?
