So I just opened a new Facebook profile, and found out that seems to be where everyone on LJ went to.  So if you want to join you can answer my emails I sent, but you have to have a profile to view my profile.  Kinda snobby of them I know.  But it is a cool way to catch up with people from lots of different places.  Found out one of my students is ( Read more... )

Thank you, Becky, Chris and Banyan, for taking the time and making the effort to drive down to the Ozarks this past weekend, where, happily, we were able to reward you with some real spring weather -- temps around 70 degrees and sunshine followed by a spring downpour ( Read more... )

Well it's my birthday too yeah!  I have got to not celebrate my birthday more often, this was one of the best birthdays I've ever had.  Since I didn't expect anything, everything was that much better.  I started out the day by realizing that I couldn't find my Ayurvedic medicine notes for my lecture, got to school and I found something else to ( Read more... )

So I'm one month away from the day that my heart was broken one year ago, and one week away from my next birthday.  Rabbits have been flocking to my house, and the moon is full.  It has been some time since I've written anywhere about what has been happening over the past several months.  Most of you know of my minor and major tribulations.  Funny ( Read more... )

Dear Ones,

I haven't posted much to this LiveJournal, but am weary of seeing that same first line on Sasha's mid-December post, so guess it's about time I step up to the plate.

It's a funny thing about life when you're "over the hill" -- you have a tendency to look at things as "winding down" instead of "gearing up."  I've always been an optimist, ( Read more... )

Best way to move forward is to make yourself busy and ignore the voices in your head.  I've been hearing people talking to me in the house, or maybe they're talking to each other instead of me.  Either way, it is kinda creepin' me out.  Been playing music at night to drown them out.  Mostly seems to be some guy, but also sometimes hear a woman type ( Read more... )

I've been debating whether to update or not.  So much has been happening since our Thanksgiving get-together that I hardly know where to start.  We've had snow and more snow, and then guess what, more snow.  Oh, and today, more snow.  Wish I had kept that snow blower you gave me Mama.  I'm already sick of shoveling snow, especially the stuff that ( Read more... )

Well, I did it again.  I told work that I would stay for one more quarter.  However, in order to start making my student loan payments I had to take on another class.  Those not keeping count that makes six classes.  Two online and four land classes.  Plus my hours as coordinator.  So, if I'm not burnt out now, I will be come spring.  I had to give ( Read more... )

Suddenly the ground is white.  Covered with a fine blanket of this year's first snow.  There is something thrilling about the first snow, the smell in the air and the muffled sounds of the outside world, or maybe the fact that most people forget to drive.  It reminds me of the feeling of being tucked under the covers, knowing that rest is so near ( Read more... )
