Prosaic Paradise

I had big plans for this past weekend. We’d have Christmas, I’d get a new tattoo, I’d see my friend Becki who hasn’t been on this coast in a decade. Then I’d settle in and enjoy my homey home. Big plans. But when I woke up on Friday viral menaces had decided a whole different […]

For this Purge Thursday I’m ditching two trash bags of Clothes. I found some things that look Careworn, some things that look Crappy, and some things that are devoid of Comfortableness (two sizes too small). I can tell that this is just the beginning, though. See, while I was getting all my decorations ready for […]

Over the past week or so, as I look at it, I’ve been crazy social! Some by plan and some by happenstance, I have been spending time with close friends and it’s been truly wonderful to have the time and to feel that comfort. I got to attend Jen’s tree trimming & annual hamdango as […]

I’d give you a drum roll but my rolls are a little rusty what with never practicing them. We bought a Nikon D90! Jack is so, so supportive. Once I decided which camera I wanted there was really no ratcheting back, and this is not the bottom-tier camera. I understand the gravity of this commitment, […]

I was listening to my latest audiobook It’s All Too Much by Peter Walsh, when it struck me that the Unclutterer doesn’t have a corner on the market of simplifying your life! I constantly look around the house and see things I don’t use. Sometimes I find I’m avoiding something I want to do in […]

Acting like an adult reaps its damn benefits. That’s 3 prereqs down, and 2 to go. If I so choose, I’ll be applied and accepted or waitlisted (since I’m out of county) at HCC Nursing school by this time next year.

Me [1:06 PM]: Because I can never do anything halfway: looking at dates for pen shows in 2009. Friend [1:06 PM]: Awesome! Me [1:06 PM]: Also file under: Because I am my father’s daughter. Friend [1:06 PM]: I sadly missed the most recent one due to sickness Me [1:07 PM]: As a kid I spent […]

The look on my face from 30 years ago is about the same look I have today where it regards The Holiday Season. Just one example: I don’t know what to get people! Some people say they don’t want to get things. I really just want to show people that I love them, and getting […]

And lo there was a rejoicing!! Our rude professor is now merely a figment of our memories! And, supposedly, I have learned the things I need to know about the various systems of the body. So to celebrate, I went to the Staples. And bought fountain pen refills. For the Parker Vector I found abandoned, […]

School report: It’s all over but the very quiet sweating and scan-tron bubble filling in. We had our last lab and lecture. We got to (heh) fill out our course evaluations. That took everyone quite a while. I am trying to let go and be relaxed about the end product. I do want an A […]
