Writer's Block: Resolved
I've never really made New Year's resolutions. I think they are silly and most of the people I know that make them never keep them. I try to work on myself 365 days a year rather than make a resolution once a year. This year I have decided, however, to join the Mission 101 community and work on a list of 101 goals over the next 2.75 years or 1001 ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Happy Halloween!
I'm celebrating Halloween by working so my coworkers who have small peoples can go enjoy the evening. I don't mind this because:
a: I could use the extra money
b: I get to see all the costumes that come to my work for the halloween party there.
c: I could use the extra money
d: the extra money will be nice!
haha
I made two pirate costumes for two of my ( Read more... ) -
What Do You Have To Say? - Small Business: My Own Business
I've always wanted to buy up the old grain mill down the road and start a business in it. I had this great idea for a little ice cream and sandwich shop. I wanted to paint the grain silos in bright colors and add a couple of windows to them and have consignment areas where others could sell their artsy crafty stuff. I figured I would do a little ( Read more... ) -
What Do You Have To Say? - Small Business: Filling the Piggy Bank
When I was about ten or eleven I started ironing for money. I was too young to babysit, but I was not too young to iron and I loved ironing. In those days clothes were starched in the washing machine. When they were done, they were taken out and put into a plastic bag and placed in the refrigerator. I loved the smell of the starched clothes and ( Read more... ) -
Tired
I'm tired. Very tired, but I keep on pushing and I don't know why. It would seem to some busier folks that maybe I don't do that much, but if they were in my body with the pain and fatigue, they would wonder at the fact that I do anything at all. I just want to lay down and sleep for a hundred years and yet I sleep every night and most of the time ( Read more... ) -
100 snapshots
Well, I gave up on taking my pictures in order. I've started taking my camera everywhere I go, something I hadn't done for a long, long time. I no longer see a nice sunset, or a really great contrast or a stark reality. I now see words everywhere in pictures. I see a railroad crossing sign, I think....ohhhhhhhhhh...that could be "wait". Everything ( Read more... ) -
Sunday
Sunday is usually the one day I don't have to get up early and take someone to work. Today, however, David worked so I am up and sitting here at the computer while I sip my coffee. I can make my own coffee, but David and I have gotten hooked on getting coffee at Thunderbird every morning. It's actually disappointing on the mornings that we run late ( Read more... ) -
Nothing. really
So, today I learned how to use the "LJ cut" and went back into my journal postings and edited the "LJ cut" into them. That was fun. I had so much I wanted to do today, but it was one of those days where my body ached and it was hard to move. I actually laid down and took a nap, something I seldom do. I was cold and couldn't get warm and too tired ( Read more... ) -
Update.
Today is my last day of vacation. It's been 16 lovely days and I got a lot done. I'm a little happy about going back to work. I haven't seen or spoken to anyone from work the whole time I've been off. I know there were changes being made, so it will be interesting to see just how it all came down. Hopefully I'm still on the same shift. Haha.
