I woke up this morning unhappy. To start with, it was 9:00 AM! And I was AWAKE! On one of the few days I could sleep in! Now, I don’t want any smart aleck remarks from you morning people. Yes, 9:00 AM on a holiday morning is way too early. Especially when you were upContinueContinue reading “A Starbuck’s Kind of Day”

The Turning Point. . . and Character Sketches
Tonight I made lasagna, baking powder biscuits, and, again, salad. Although, I don’t think the salad should count since it is a pre-mixed bag. Because I grew up saving money, I still always immediately grab the most inexpensive ingredient I see at the grocery store. This time, interestingly, the least expensive cheese for my lasagnaContinueContinue reading “The Turning Point. . . and Character Sketches”
Relaxation Time
Today was my first truly relaxing day in ages. Granted, last Sunday, I did nothing but sleep all day, but I felt like that was more recovering from the previous couple weeks and simultaneously saving up to survive the next couple weeks. Today felt different, mostly, I think, because I get three days in aContinueContinue reading “Relaxation Time”
Stalling Techniques. :P
Technically, I am about to be in a meeting. One of our planning meetings. But since it is the last thing I feel like doing today, I figured I would distract myself for the last couple minutes before people start filtering in by writing a very random post indeed. A meeting every day for threeContinueContinue reading “Stalling Techniques. :P”
Just an Update
What a month it has been! And what a month it will continue to be. I have either had guests or been gone on business and personal trips for all but 4 days in the last month, and will be traveling every week for the next month as well. Don’t get me wrong – IContinueContinue reading “Just an Update”
Soul Happiness
This quote makes me smile. And the picture. Well, really, the quote and the picture together make me smile with happiness. And it makes me feel much less guilty for spending a majority of my time last night on my counted cross-stitching project, while watching Star Wars and Indiana Jones and completely ignoring the wreckContinueContinue reading “Soul Happiness”
Living in the Past
Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves, during quiet times, thinking back over their lives, dwelling on the various times they made mistakes, said something stupid, did something stupid, or, worse, got in trouble for something? This is a particular weakness of mine. I will be minding my own business, and randomly,ContinueContinue reading “Living in the Past”
How to Kill an Introvert
So, I was looking at comics about introverts – because – let’s face it, there are some hysterical ones out there. Plus it comforts me to know that there are people who understand how I feel, like, ALL the time. But I ran into one that I found particularly hysterical today, though a large partContinueContinue reading “How to Kill an Introvert”
Writing Humor
So, this “Winning Writers” site keeps emailing me about their humor poetry contest. And emphasizing the fact that it is free to enter, with $1,000 first prize. At first I dismissed it. I don’t really do humor well – in person or in writing. The only person who truly finds me amusing is my husband – andContinueContinue reading “Writing Humor”
Making the Most of My Time
Like a lot of Americans, I suspect, I have difficulties making the most of my time. It is just so easy to plop on the couch after work, think to myself, I’ve worked hard today earning a paycheck, I deserve to sit here and watch a movie or Dick Van Dyke, or otherwise do nothing productiveContinueContinue reading “Making the Most of My Time”
