6am is so stark. Early morning feels like white light. The silence is a weightless pool, a thick suspension of my thoughts. Fragments of me working themselves out, celebrating the utter lack of distraction. Endless drifting in this lonely galaxy of posiibility and probability were it not for this furry little black kitten who is taking every possible opportunity to love me.
"Argh! It's only 6am and I can't go back to sleep. I lie in bed for a while changing from one side to the other, putting the sheets between my legs, fluffing my pillow, changing the setting on my relaxing sounds machine. And yet, no matter what I do I have already seen the sun shining through the window and heard the birds chirping their hellos outside. My mind knows it is the waking time and will not back down. So, I sit up, roll a kink out of my neck and give a final yawn before rising to greet the world. Still half out of it I get dressed and head out the door. I arrive at Starbucks and give Robin, my faithful partner in crime, that look that has "give me the usual" written all over it. By the time I get to the counter she has my tall coffee and croissant ready and waiting. We exchange pleasantries and I thank her once again for saving my life and let her know I will see her the next morning. It's only about 6:20 now, I won't need to be at work for almost another 3 hours. I decide to leave my car parked where it is and walk to the nearby park to feed the birds some of my breakfast and read a little of the paper while the sun warms me through and tickles the back of my ears.
I don't know how staff comes about choosing the featured girls on SG but I see that I am on there which is really nice. They have always been really great to me, which is one of the reasons I love it here so much.
So I'm feeling better about chopping down my purple Clematis after reading more on the plant. Usually you can prune... Read More
I really want to see that Hopkins film. I meant to see it when it came out here awhile back, but didn't get to the theater in time and it was gone. Hopefully, it will be On Demand sometime soon... I heard very good things about it.
Oh no, I just killed my purple flowering Clematis! I was trying to clear some space to make a garden. I cut down these old dead branches that I thought were left over from last season and then I noticed my beautiful plant withering and dying and realized what I had done. My dad is a landscaper so I called him and told him what... Read More
That's cool you guys have a garden. We have some vegetables in planters on our 2nd floor deck, but they're not doing so hot. I do have a killer iris that I up rooted from a vacant lot next door and planted in a home made planter in our backyard that is rocking!!
Oooooh man!! Today a bunch of friends and I pulled a broken down float all the way through the Fremont Parade! We were Trick Pony, complete with cowboy hats, Dolly Parton music, lassos and fresh horse poop. First the tire fell off and then the wheel crumpled into a pitiful pile of spokes with the underside of the float draggin. We drug that damn thing... Read More

Have you tried Pedialyte for hangovers?
It works like a fucking charm. I used to do the Gatorade thing but Pedialyte balances out my electrolytes IMMEDIATELY after drinking it--literally AS I drink it my hangover disappears! Rite Aid brand is better than the real brand by the way.
Can't look at the set yet; at work. I'm sure it's loverly though!
Just got home from Golden Gardens Beach. Planning on watching the Icons special on G4Tv.com at 5:30. Can't believe I forgot yesterday, after reminding myself and everybody else for weeks. I was at the beach playing frisbee (the one sport that I rule at) when it hit me suddenly that the show had aired one hour before. Oh well, it's hard to beat sand and... Read More
Looks like we have the same issues with the new site! While the random friends pictures are nice, it is better to see all of your friends without having to go into the edit friends screen to see them. I also liked the old way of viewing new sets so you could see the previous 3-4 sets that came before the newest one. I don't like flipping to them so much. I'm glad your kitties are acclimated!
