So I was at my bank earlier this afternoon, making a deposit. As I'm writing out the slip, this chick comes up to the other side of the counter, talking to someone on her cell phone. As I remember the conversation went something like this ( Read more... )

Last Tuesday, I was out at our family farm for the first time this year. At one point I was standing on the porch steps, and heard a trumpeting. I looked around, and there were three swans (at least I assume they were; they were big and white) flying pretty low, from east to west, across the north quarter. I thought it was very neat. Of course I ( Read more... )

The moon light tonight was beau-ti-ful. It's always nice to see the light glittering off the snow; it's almost like daylight out; but nicer somehow.

Is it just me, or did the light reflecting off the snow look just a bit bluer; maybe just my over active imagination again. I know it's a blue moon. Maybe that's why it seems that way.

My cell phone doesn't ring that often; mostly 'cause not many people have my number, and I have a landline as my main phone. But once in a while it does; unless I've asked someone to call me on my cell, it's usually a wrong number ( Read more... )

What the bleep is wrong with some people?!? The owners/managers of the Super 8 where I work are husband and wife, and (at least when it comes to work) don't seem to talk to each other. Last Friday, I told L we were nearly out of kleenex boxes. She says okay, she'll order some next week (last Tuesday). So today, I tell S we are out of kleenexes and ( Read more... )

It happened again at work. The housekeeping carts were a mess; cluttered and disorganized. Why does it seem like it's always me that has to clean up the clutter? It's very annoying to say the least. Why can't my co-workers at least try to keep things neat and tidy. Everything would be so much better and easier if they would. I mean stuffing towels ( Read more... )

I've been keeping busy with work, and gardening. Maybe a bit too much. I had a pulled muscle in my back a couple weeks ago, I think from working in my herb garden. It was difficult to do housekeeping with a sore back, but with the help of asprin, I managed. It's better now ( Read more... )

But at least it's a good tired. The kind of tired you get when you've spent much of the day working in the garden. I dug up lots of root clumps, and put in many new plants; especially pansies, moss roses, dusty miller (great for a "moon garden"), and a black eyed Susan. I also put up a small stone "cairn" (think Ireland) for the fairies. At least I ( Read more... )

The last time I had an entry on my "friends" page was six days ago. I guess I should take it to mean no one has had anything to say?

Or is there something wrong with my set-up.

Or maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid.

Just asking.

I am about ready to toss this thing out the window. Just when I thought everything was working fine, more stuff comes up. Last night, for no apparent reason, I was dropped (for lack of a better word) from not one but two websites; including livejournal. There was no reason given; one second I'm looking at the website, the next I'm back at the ( Read more... )
