Shopping

My son and I spent nearly the entire day shopping.  We started at the Coralridge Mall around 2pm and quit at 10pm – I’m exhausted.  We had a most excellent time even though neither of us bought a lot.  It was fun to browse and get ideas for Christmas.
It is 4am now and I’m going [...]

Day Off Went Fast

My day of vacation went fast I must say.  Went in and picked up my son for lunch.  He took me to the steakhouse which was nice.  I was planning on taking him but he had a gift certificate so we used that.  It was delicious as usual.
We had a good talk about his plans [...]

Given Up

I have given up the idea of a vacation. Quite frankly, I look at different destination possibilities and none of them appeal to me. The only places I really want to go are northern states – Maine, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, etc. Yes, I wouldn’t mind going to a beach too but I don’t know. My [...]

Hawaii

My son won’t stop talking about moving to Hawaii…I am starting to get worried. I know it is the epitome of paradise but it is also a very expensive place to live and limited on jobs. If I were published and making money that way, I wouldn’t give moving there a second thought but the [...]

Lunch

I am at Panera for lunch – I never realized this place hopped as much as it does now.  There are lines for everything.  People are crowded around the counter like sardines.  I am sitting at a single table though by the fireplace.  I need to get myself one of these…a fireplace, not a Panera.  [...]

Facebook

Facebook is telling me it is unavailable due to maintenance.  Why are they messing with it again? I don’t mind once and awhile but this is getting ridiculous.  It is getting as bad as the Walmart site which is often undergoing maintenance at night – don’t they know I do a lot of my shopping online [...]

A Wisp of a Thought

Outside the stars iridescently shimmer in the heavens as the Waxing Gibbous moon makes its trek across the hospitable sky.  Temps are in the mid 30’s making our night walk a bit chiller than last night but still enjoyable.  Diligent homeowners spent their days raking up huge piles of leaves that the boys enjoy romping through.  I know, probably [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

The Te of Piglet

I started reading this book again tonight.  I read the Tao of Pooh about once a year if not more but the Te of Piglet isn’t as entertaining so I maybe tackle it every five years or so.  Reading the Tao of Pooh is my way of reminding myself not to take life too seriously [...]

Amy Marie

My niece is in having surgery today – I hope it is going well for her.  She is in roller derby and snapped her ankle in a fall while at a scrimmage.  The break is bad enough that she had to have surgery to repair it.  She doesn’t know how long she will be off work [...]
