When I am down to saltines and peanut butter, I think it's time to go to the grocery store. I've put it off long enough.

Although when you get down to the bare minimum in the cabinets, it makes cooking dinner a very creative task.

Let's see... what the hell can I make with a can of corn, a mostly empty box of vermicelli, and...

Horray for living in the Middle Ages!!!

This weekend was fun. Got to see many many friends I haven't spoken to in a long time. Friday we all stayed up until the wee hours of the night drinking and recalling good times. Saturday night there was a huge party! Changes are being made to the group so there was one big bash to celebrate before...

Thanks for the welcome, no need to sell Josephene to me, sweety, but it's nice to see she's made such nice friends. Nice friends with very cool pictures. By the way, I went to a bar once that had the mechanical bull and I went on. I blame the alcohol for my inability to hold on for long. However, when we went back there a few years later, they made you sign a release. I would have signed it but the guy actually said. "sign this so we don't hold any responsibility when you get hurt" "WHEN"? Ummm, "if" maybe would have been a better way to word that. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. biggrin

are you back yet? can't wait to hear all about your weekend.

Vibrant green is all I see. The call of Spring has been heard down to the roots of all things around me. Grasses send their delicate stalks to the surface for a glimpse of a sun beam; trees finger outward with tiny leaves. The call beckons an awakening...

and my soul stirs... this time of year has awakened a feistiness in me. instincts are slowly...

yup, that's an old mast-head. very cool indeed! that house was so damn neat I wish it were mine. Especially since it sat right on the lake. *whistful sigh*

And yes, indeed, spring has FINALLY sprung. We had a full blown blizzard on Sunday, but all of the snow has already melted just about and it has been so warm this week. I always have the urge to run around naked when it's spring, and that lovely spring smell fills the air. It must be repressed acts from childhood. <g>

I have returned!!! biggrin

What a great weekend! Got to spend lots of time in the French Quarter taking in all the sights (besides those on Bourbon St.) This time of year was pretty tame. The street was about half empty, which made navigating the area much easier. The weather cooperated with temperatures in the 70's, tolerable humidity, and a nice constant breeze from the Mississippi...

CONGRATS! Great job this weekend! That's awesome. Any pictures to share with the class today? The first time I went to Nawlins...it was on a trip with my parents and we did the touristy thing, which was very cool. I remember walking down Bourbon St. and it just 'feels' different. Then in college went back for Mardi Gras and had a great time, although, truth be told, a little to scared to dive into the deep end of the happenings. I would love to go back again. I have been to places that try to imitate Mardi Gras in their own way, but there's no place like New Orleans. I'm glad you had such a good time and got away from that soul-sucking job of yours.

And I have magic fingers, if you are still hurting, I would love to help you out. wink biggrin

weeping cherry for the girl and a lilac bush for the boy...and for me...but i think i might need to order those off the internet. i found a great lilac nursery in Canada that has over 100 varieties.

i hope you enjoyed your day off yesterday.

Hello my friends,

I have been away this week on work, so I'm sorry for the neglect.

And I'm also going away for the weekend... to New Orleans!! biggrin I've got a fencing tournament which is sure to be fun. Been going to it for about 8 years now. I'll posts some pics (hopefully) when I return.

Wish me luck!

And you're asking yourself, "What's with the goggles?"

Anonymity, my friends, anonymity...

even part-time superheros get to have disguises. They just won't let us join the union biggrin

word of the day:
tenebrific - adj: gloomy or dark

let's see it used in a sentence -

Bob - So, Phil, how's your day going?
Phil - It's just tenebrific, Bob. Now shut the fuck up!!

Work Update:
I still hate my job!!!
This week has been stressful. Everyday, an ocean on pinpricks threaten to burst my grasp on control and sanity. The voice inside my head screams for me to do something rash and spontaneous, like just flat out leave, giving no two-week notice. It almost won over today. But I got to thinking (which I am prone to do...

josephene:
Awww...*hugs* I hate that you're feeling so shitty about work. Those days when the word "FUCK" is the only plausible description, seem to be too many for you. Start putting your feelers out for something else. Find out how much you can live on, and look for THAT job. Sometimes a drop in pay in worth your sanity. If you would die at the end of the year, would you look back on this time in your life and say "look how much money I made" or "look how unhappy I was." Don't get me wrong, surviving comfortably is key, but you're self-worth is if not more, than at least equally important.

Keep your chin above water, honey...and try not to make decisions based on emotion. It's hard to do, sometimes, but it's not going to benefit you to up and quit. It would screw them short term, but it would end up screwing you more down the line. And haven't they screwed you enough? Leave with the dignity that I know you have, and a reference of what a great job you did for them, and not plagued with how you left. Just my opinion, I seem to be full of them lately.

Best of luck to you, honey...Good things should happen to good people and you are good people. kiss

Cheers!

Ever get that feeling in your life when someting big is about to happen? You know, some sudden change that will change the path of your life for good or bad? I really need to experience that feeling soon. So far work still sucks and I haven't really gotten any leads for future employment or education. I guess on the flip side of things, my...

i will make sure you turn in your letter! you deserve better. friends don't let friends get taken advantage of wink you're my friend, right? biggrin

being true to yourself is even harder then truly knowing yourself. or perhaps they go hand in hand.

[Edited on Mar 20, 2005 10:17AM]
josephene:
Your words sound so familiar. About a year ago, I was at that point in my job. Being taken advantage of, and feeling the urge to move on. My letter written, I was in the process of looking for something better when a new opportunity opened up here to make it much more appealing to stay. The reason my job had sucked so bad was because there was no where to go. And I need to feel challenged to be interested. It seems a bit different with your situation, but I just wanted to let you know I sympathize with you. You'll be taken advantage of until you change it, unfortunately...they won't wake up one day and change. Only you can change your future. I wish you the best of luck and clarity on this issue, honey. Quitting is easier said than done, keep strong.

I'm sorry I have been negligent on commenting to you, I do keep up on your life... biggrin

Did you have a good weekend? kiss
