I'm tired of using ziplock bags for on-the-go snacks. I've tried to wash them out and use them again, but it doesn't work out so well. I've looked online for some air-tight alternatives but can't find any.

Instead of cleaning with paper towels, I'm using a bamboo cloth and I've switched out my kitchen sponge for a biodegradable sponge...by a company called Twist.

Now, I'm looking to replace our paper napkins for some washable ones...for a decent cost. Maybe I should get back in to crocheting and make my own.

I need to convince myself to go to cloth diapers....

Do we write anymore? Can my message read, "...look at what this fool wrote me..."?
Is it something that is said? "...you said in your last e-mail that..."

Should it be, "...look at what this fool typed..." or "...your lettering in that last e-mail..."

A definition of typed is to write (something) on a typewriter or keyboard...yet, I always pause when I am writing to write on the computer.

I saw a blind man riding a Segway around town.

I don't have any. There. Loathe me. I don't care.

I got asked this question the other day and it threw me off. I can't remember the last time someone asked me that. It's like going to a stuffy party where people ask what you do.

Of all the crickets...which one do you hear?

I am afraid that we are witnessing the climax of the end.

I am now using two laptops for work...I need a cart that will hold them both.

In the past week, two people called me by the name of Theresa.

Makes me wonder...do they know someone close to them named that and since it's very similar to my name, it accidently came out?

I end up suspecting something, tho. I think that they did it on purpose to test me. They are testing my reaction. Will I correct them? Will I let it slide? Whatever I do, they have judgement on and I will inevitably fall into one of their categories...which is not a good category. They will think something bad of me from how I handled myself to the blatant err.


That is my way of thinking.

We put our house on the market a couple of weeks ago. We spent months getting it ready to sell. It was hard work. For me, it was the worst home related experience I've endured. Packing up and moving was an excruciating experience but now, I think it's pretty easy. I hope that I never have to sell a home again - or at least, not for a looooong time. I guess our hard work paid off because after a week of being listed and averaging two showings a day - we got an offer.
The offer was about 20 grand less that what we asked and they also requested that we give possession on June 20th...both, ridiculous. The price we listed the home at was very reasonable and there's no way we can find a home and move into it within two weeks! So we countered with 5 grand less than asking and a possession date of July 19th.
They accepted! The house is under contract and we still average about two showings a day. It seems that people still want to see it even though it's basically sold. Maybe, we'll have a backup buyer. Although, I doubt that the current buyers will drop out.
So...calling all friends!! What are you doing mid-July? Wanna help us move? We need help loading and/or unloading and/or entertaining Anya. Food and drink will be provided, for sure.

Today is Anya's Birthday.
I've been on the verge of tears, all day.
I love that girl.

I made Anya some mini-onigiri's for lunch today. It was my first time...and I had to take a picture of them.

I say, I am this or that but am I describing what others think I am?
If so, then who am I? What kind of person am I? Am I really what others think I am?
I am not. I am not.
I don't think that anyone really knows who I am.
Does that mean that I am two people? ...or more?
Is everyone like this? Is it that no one knows anyone?
What's going on, then? Why?

...there...maybe now I can sleep.

Try it. You'll love it.

I've been putting it on everything.

It is especially good in scrambled eggs.
Scrambled eggs with corn.
Yes.

I've had a rug-burn around my mouth for the past week and it won't go away.
It looks funny.

Today, I figured out where I got it from...acting like a monster and pretending to eat Anya.

The problem is that I can't help it.
I can't stop gobbling that girl up!

....

Called him on Thanksgiving...left a message on his voicemail.
No call back.
Called him on his Birthday in December...left a message on his voicemail.
No call back.
Called him on Christmas Day...left a message on his voicemail.
No call back.
Called him the day after New Year's Day...left a message on his voicemail.
No call back.

He didn't even call my brother back on those holidays...not even to talk to his GrandSons.

He's on MSN Messenger...I see him online as "available" and I sent him a text message yesterday asking if he was "OK" and said that I was worried. I also sent an email with the same message...

No reply. No text message on IM. No text message on my phone. No voicemail. No Holiday greeting. Nothing.

What's up with that?

I'm losing sleep...and losing more sleep over the fact that I shouldn't be losing sleep over him. HA!
Augh.

It's amazing how it can destroy an exuberant human being...to his deathbed in a matter of days.

Craig is my friend, co-worker, and team leader.
He always has the nicest compliments to give every time that you see him.
No matter how much work he has to complete, if you walk into his office about anything (work related or personal) he'll give his undivided attention and reflective thoughts on the matter.
I've never seen this man get angry. He is one of the most caring and compassionate people that I know.

On Christmas day, he found out that he had cancer in his bones and lungs. He was told that he would not live much longer than a couple of months (that's generous). I visited him at the hospice center where he is now staying. You can see death in his face. I don't think he'll live longer than a week.

I'm glad I got to say goodbye. I will miss him. I'll miss our chats in the office about his days in the Army and when he was married. It makes me so sad that our world will not be blessed with his life and good deeds any longer.

Saw this movie last night.

Catching beginning....boring and lengthy middle....whacky ending.
