Revisiting the guitar

Leaf — Sat, 05 May 2012 03:50:25 +0000

I bought my guitar maybe close to 10 years ago. I went to a local music shop, picked the scratched one, and asked for a discount. It was a toy for me, who knew how long I was going to …

The best time of the year, the worst time of the year

Spring. Need I mention the best parts? Longer days? Beautiful greenery? Warmer weather? Oh but the allergies! They are totally messing me up. This by comparison turns my usual indoor dust allergies into a walk through a server room. This …

Reminder to self!

Next year, I MUST plan time off between President’s Day and Memorial Day. March or April is perfect! I NEED a Spring Break. And I mean, okay, what am I waiting for? I could do it right now. But I …

Giving it up

Shopping. With certain exceptions, of course. Groceries and medicines only. I just have to get rid of all my crap and make room during this time. I am getting buried in crap!

I have a bad case of the winter blues! I think fall and even up to Winter solstice I’m just working my way down to the blues. Mostly I can deal with it by self-medicating with lots of cheesy poofs, …

Mustard

I was in elementary school when I first came across this condiment, mustard. I’d seen other children put it on their burgers and hot dogs but I just couldn’t bring myself to try it. It looked sort of poopy yellow. …

Modern Stone-Age Family

We lost Internet for 3 days! On Monday night, we thought it was a fluke, maybe weather related but when Tuesday night came and we still had no Internet, we called Verizon. First, it was a challenge trying to even …

It’s just a job

Leaf — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:23:34 +0000

I have job-ennui. A case of ADHD for work. I am grateful for having a job especially in this economic environment, but lately, it’s been feeling pretty empty. Unrewarding. Uninteresting. I wish I could take more pride in my work …
