rain drops keep falling on my head..

today was one of those stormy days that makes you wanna crawl up under a blanket, and grab a novel. we've been under tornado watch most of the day and will continue through the night. the weather has been down right crazy. I'm not surprised we are having severe thunder storms with 'tornadic' activity, given the high temperatures and those northern cold fronts colliding. it happens this time of year.

Overall, today was not too shabby. Spent most of the day trying to catch up since I was out Friday and Monday. But I can't complain...friday is just round the corner :) Hope everyone else had a grand day...

Magnificience

This weekend was one of the best I can remember. Spent the time with family from out of town, family in town, and just loved having no agenda. No schedule, no due dates, no spreadsheets, or reports. The few times I did think about work, I moved on to other thoughts quickly. We crafted, we laughed, we painted, we drew, we made jewelry, we cooked, we loved, and generally just had a ball. I didn't even get on the computer much this weekend except to look up a few things here and there. Which explains the lack of entries :)

So there you have it. I'm still riding high off my weekend. And today, being Monday I took today off as well. Saw the fam who had to drive out of town off, and am just doing small chores to get ready for my work week. But, the bonus is, only 4 days till Friday!

My Blog is now re-vived

It has been a looooong time since I wrote anything here. Since I started this blog, much has happened, been forgotten, achieved, lost, wondered about, loved, lost sleep over, and in general just been. I want to go with the flow, so I want to challenge myself to write something each day. Who gives a rat's ass if anyone else reads it. Maybe it is just for me. And maybe there is someone else out there who might at the very least, garner a laugh from my clumsy plod through life. :)

Yeah, so...but...Ummmmm

It is 22 December, and i cannot believe it is almost Christmas. I love this time of year. For my family and I it is a time of decorations, lights, special meals, friends and family. Thankfully it is not a stressful time. But, as I age I realize how quickly the days and months slip by. And before i know it, Christmas is over and done and then the blandness of everyday life comes back.

I love sitting in a room lit only with the lights from a tree. A nice fire to go with is a plus.

So I am taking time to slow down long enough to appreciate the time while it is here and hope that i can garner enough energy from a few days off to tackle the challenges of the coming year.

Peace to all.

Funny Road Sign

This is a road sign I spotted not far from my house. The first time I saw it, I had to turn about because I wasn't sure I actually saw what it says. I snapped this picture, and a few weeks later saw that the post on the sign had been removed. So here is the picture. In case you need help getting the joke it reads: "Thirteen foot, seven inch Dude"..now you get it?

Olympiad

I've always been a bit of an Olympics junkie. I've loved watching the Olympics over the years, and watching some random athelete's dream of gold come to fruition. I also like how the Olympics tend to bring people together. For a few short weeks, people from feuding nations can come together and forget about the worldly troubles. I often see atheletes embrace each other regardless of gender, color, or ethnicity. So, I was very sad to see this picture of the Spanish Olympic Basketball team published. Supposedly they say it was all in good "fun" and not meant to be offensive. I am not Chinese, but I was offended.

Grow up. And have a little respect, Seeeeenors.
