When I write this blog I usually try to make it interesting to someone who knows nothing about me. This one will not be like that. I have some thoughts I need to sort through and I'm going to be kind of vague. My apologies - please tune in tomorrow for a more coherent blog.

There's an expression, "if I had more time I...

My Home

Pink. That's what my house is. Pink.

Not by my choice mind you. The people who lived here before me though really seemed to like it. And not a nice pink. Dusty rose retirement home pink.

The upstairs bathroom? Pink.

The second bedroom? Pink.

The third bedroom? Pink.

The backsplash in the kitchen? Pink and green flowered wallpaper.

The bedroom? Pink on top...

When I was little my Ken doll's head would always pop off. So we would just play with him headless. He was a minor character anyway. Never had Skipper... did have a pink corvette for my Barbies. I wouldn't mind a real pink corvette.

You're kinda creepy at times.

Five things about my day:

1. Last day before I go back to work and the whole Christmas/New Years vacation is over
2. I covet the cookbook set of Ad Hoc at Home and French Laundry at Home - but cannot justify $120 before tax
3. My sister makes me laugh like no one else in the world
4. It's cold out and I just...

Something Different

In keeping this blog I've been trying to tell stories. I wanted it to be an opportunity to practice my writing and have fun. Today I'm just going to write about whatever I'm thinking - so it will be a little different.

I can tell it's cold outside. The sky is a bright grey and the trees are moving in the wind. A...

A Romantic Moment

I've already written about DumaBoy - the first time I had fallen in love (I was 19, he was 29).

When we were dating he bought me this necklace, it was nothing really, a Celtic symbol on a leather string. I remember him giving it to me and getting it to fit just right. I loved it.

After DumaBoy broke my heart,...

Isn't Celtic jewelry just a bunch of swiggly lines. If he liked you he would have got you something from the winning side, Roman!
And it just sounds oh so new age. Celtic.
miss_joy:
Nothing else happened that night - we chatted pleasantly. About a year later we hooked up for one night and then two years later we dated for a few months again... we just weren't meant to be.

Stabbings and Gang Fights

I didn't think that my highschool was a bad school.

I went to an urban school but on the outskirts of the city - really more suburban.

It only sunk in that it might have had more problems than most when I went to university and realized that other schools *didn't* have their own police officer!

I think there were about...

Guess who has an iphone!

That's right - I have jumped feet-first into the world of technology considering I didn't even have a cell phone. Well... I had a cell phone once about 10 years ago for a year.

There is so much to figure out. I've only (unsuccessfully) sent a text message once in my life.

I'm looking forward to any and all suggestions...

So all of you Canadians and British - Happy Boxing Day! And for all of you Americans - you don't know what you are missing! I mean, when do you box up your presents to go home? Or when do your lords provide boxes of food to their serfs? or when do you... box each other for leftover turkey?

Okay - I will admit I...

Happy boxing day to you too. I used today to buy more blu rayssmile
smaptie:
Well actually the origins of Boxing day dates back to 1900. During the Boxer rebellion. There was a small contingent of Canadian women in besieged Peiking. To help the multinational forces defending the lines, these women would wrap up the meager supplies as presents. Thus Boxing day...

So totally made that up. And we American's have the 4th of July where we celebrate the independence of our country by blowing up small bits of it.

And why is the Queen still on your money? I'm just calling you British from now on.

And thanks for the cheap drugs. We owe you a solid.

Yes, Christmas is upon us and the overeating has begun. I actually went to the same restaurant today twice (both the office gals and the parents chose it). Its bad when the waitresses remember you.

Todays count:
Coffee
Mochaccino
Potato chips (appetizer at this restaurant)
Apple/walnut/cream cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and curry aioli
One bite each of four desserts that were passed around...

I believe you have been wrong because your reason doesn't contain booze anywhere. That's key.
