2009 April | wonderment

here is the deepest secret nobody knows, (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart……… i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) -ee cummings	comments posts

Randomness and an FYI

FYI – this blog will not be available for sometime Friday until sometime Saturday or Sunday, or maybe later. Because, well, we’re moving, and the server this blog is hosted on? It lives at our house, so it’s moving too. (And yes, this does mean I will be without Facebook for, like, at least a …keep reading

Bump

I realize that almost no one enjoys hearing about someone else’s dreams. But, in my defense, anything else I would have to tell you today would be boring beyond belief. Not that this dream is entertaining, or even long enough to be considered a story. But it’s better than, “last night we packed up our …keep reading

Things I learned this weekend

Did you know that there are, like, options when shopping for toilets, beyond the plastic versus porcelain or white versus ivory ones? (Sidenote: I do not envy whoever it is who ends up carrying the new toilet, whatever we end up picking out, down to the basement, because those things are hea-vy.) I thought the …keep reading

Ahem

I would like to announce that today, I have graduated to a second bottle of water (“bottle” meaning aluminum canister that I got from last week, or BPA-free plastic bottle I’ve been toting around for the last few months). I know, this is monumental. I’ve surpassed the 13 ounces of water in my original …keep reading

Excited

Things I am excited about, this Monday afternoon.

Having all of our stuff in the same place finally, instead of at home, in the storage unit, and at ’s.
My piano.
Gardening.
Painting.
Making clothes for myself again (I promised myself that I’d buy a dress form if I got straight A’s).
The deck, and the kitchen.
No longer being in transition.
No …keep reading

Manic Monday

What’s the best summer job you ever had? That would probably have to be my summer in San Francisco. Arizona was totally awesome too, but I was older and not nearly as carefree as a girl can be at age 20/21. They were long, hard days, but good fun was had as well. At least, …keep reading

It’s sooooo not worth complaining about

Friday’s doctor visit went well. Have I mentioned how much I love my new doctor? I might keep going to her after we move. She took a quick look in my ears, up my nose, and at my throat, and determined that I did not have a sinus or ear infection. The diagnosis? Allergies. Woo-hoo. …keep reading

Unconscious Mutterings

Soul :: peace
Fold :: towels (thanks, Martha Stewart!)
Breakup :: Babe (a great book, and a lovely, though defunct, blog)
Will :: and Testament
Fond :: -ue
Powers :: that be (since I just finished watching all 5 seasons of Angel….)
Ho-hum :: tweedle de dee
Hustle :: and bustle
Avenue :: Park
Tower :: -ing Inferno

I think it’s cruel to make people come into work when it’s so beautiful outside.

But, nonetheless, I’m here. Early, in fact, because I drove to work so that I could leave a bit early for a doctor’s appointment. The previously-mentioned sinus and ear condition got worse yesterday, to the point that I was going a bit crazy, swallowing all the time to try to get my ears unplugged, to …keep reading

Friday Fill-Ins

Apparently there’s some sort of magnetism that draws people who are completely horrible at public speaking to attend classes I’m taking.
Today is a very sunny day. Why did I go to work again?
2009 has been productive, busy, and surprising so far.
20 minute commute this morning, and that was it. If traffic was this good everyday, …keep reading

Thankful

Short and sweet today.

I’m thankful for…

… feeling appreciated at my job.

… donuts. (Free donuts!)

… sunrise and sunset times expanding the daylight hours.

… a gorgeous mini quilt received in the mail yesterday from Colleen (sorry, no photos, but she’s got some on her photostream if you want to see it).

… peace finally for ’s great-grandmother, who …keep reading

Deep Sighs

Only figuratively, of course. I’ve had a stuffed nose (minor) for… weeks? months? I’ve lost track. A new symptom showed up a few days ago, though – my left ear is kinda stopped. And yes, I have tried swallowing. Doesn’t work. WebMD seems to think I might have sinusitis, but you know what, I don’t …keep reading

Happy Earth Day!

Clean Water | Happy Earth Day!| Clean Air

Here’s hoping that the changes we think about making and the ones we’ve already made stick. I’m glad I found an acceptable water bottle so I could give up bottled water. From the maps it looks like our new house has a lot of cool …keep reading
