Wanting the Impossible

I'm great at wanting what I can't have, and not wanting it when it's right in front of me.
Case in point: Saturday morning I had to drive to a meeting of the Tennessee Library Association board. I stopped in at the office beforehand to print some reports to take with me. It was quiet, relatively cool, and early enough that my office was light but not glaringly bright. I would have been perfectly content to stay there for a few hours and clean up and catch up. Of course, I couldn't because I had to rush off to the meeting.

I needed to go in the last three Saturdays in a row and had nothing else on the schedule besides lawn work, but did I go? Absolutely not. And this coming Saturday? Well, we'll see.

Hot Beverage Success

Several of my workmates are hot tea drinkers, and I'm forever buying and trying different herbal and decaf tea in hopes of finding something I like. I nearly always end up taking the box to work because I don't like my pick (lack of fat, chocolate and sugar plays into all this).

I do like Stash Tea Licorice Spice, and after yet another purchase, have decided I like Stash Tea Chai Spice Decaf with LOTS of sugar. It's tasty as a drink, and would also make a nice potpourri.

Old Man Winter--I'm ready!

All Alone

It's a lonely feeling to see all my Google Talk friends are offline. Of course, I only chat with about 5 people in total, but still, it's a lonely feeling.

Footwear Advice

If you have a mosquito bite on the top of your foot, be careful about wearing mary jane shoes.

Speaking of Grandma


With all the recent mentions of Grandma (Mom to an older generation), I thought it appropriate to provide an illustration. Here she is at Orson Gygi in Salt Lake. Sorry about the unsightly cord hanging from the ceiling.
