  • And every time I think: a blogging gardener would not appreciate that. Dude.  It is Wednesday.  Paul has furniture, CK September arrived, Chipotle for dinner, Project Runway tonight and no work tomorrow.  Quality of life is near a 10 right now.  On a scale of 1-10.5.  10.5 being best.  Oh and also: I get my…

  • A couple minutes ago I was driving home from work mentally blogging about my job.  About how when I get done for the day I have nothing to say about it.  And how that is sad.  I realized that while I do not want to be one of those people who always talks about work,…

  • I just googled "attitude quotes" and got 97,100 hits.  Including, To succeed at anything, you have to have the right attitude, a POSITIVE one!  Yikes.  Am all about inspiration.  But while the quote says, be positive!, it does not say how.

  • Around 4:13PM today I was in the bug and I realized that I am a grown-up. And I almost swerved into the oncoming traffic. I had just left a particularly long and draining day of work.  And had gotten gas.  And was simultaneously trying to not be late to my eye doctor appointment while on…

  • "Uh, Beezer?" "Yes, Bobber?" "I just backed into your car and knocked the license plate off." "Oh.  That’s okay Ro.  Dad’ll fix it."

  • One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the…
