I just finished loading 8 bags of canned goods and other non perishable items in to our minivan to be dropped off at our local food shelf. While I am more than happy to help them out, as I truly believe they provide a valuable service to my community, I can't help but wonder why we have 8 bags full of things we don't want...

I received a Christmas card today from my former employer. A day late, with my last name misspelled and in all likelihood sent with the belief that I am a current employee. It both amuses and reassures me to see that they are as incompetent as ever.

Hahaha! Just when I regret leaving my job, they always find a way to remind me why I left!
radiofrank:
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at their stupidity, haha.
Edited December 24th: Apparently I don't know how to post a photo. Rendering this blog somewhat useless.
One of my favorite meals. So simple but really delicious. Grill some meat (skirt steak here but you can do it with almost anything) saute some veggies (I used garlic, onions, mushrooms & cilantro) and serve over rice. Top with a fried egg, some chili garlic sauce, chili...

I just found out that a childhood friend of mine passed away today. She was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever known. We hadn't been in touch much lately but had recently reconnected on Facebook. Apparently she passed away in her sleep, unexpectedly, but likely of natural causes. She was a year younger than me. Earlier this year I lost a different...

Last night I found out that a guy that lived down the street when I was growing up died. I didn't know him that well since he was a couple of years older, but it still doesn't sem right.
I'm lost on here these days. Can't figure things out. Can't think of anything to say. Not sure I belong here anymore.

Lot of changes. You're a smart guy though. I'm sure you'll figure it all out.

Oh really, why? dont yyou like changes?

I do most of my SG on my nook, but it was easier with the last format. No comment editing or paragraphs when commenting and no emoticons are on my list of dislikes. All live sets and review sets on one page isn't bad.
I've been having flying dreams recently. Not flying on a plane or with wings but just soaring through the air of my own volition. I don't know what they signify but they are pretty awesome. I wake up with a sense of elation and freedom like I have rarely experienced in the waking world. It's a pretty nice way to start the day.

Thanks for your comment on my last blog !

Yes, that sounds like a hell of a way to start the day.
My vacation was good, thank you.

I am happy to report that the insomnia has passed and I am once again sleeping like a baby. Had me worried for a while. I was afraid I was about to return to the horrible bouts of insomnia I suffered back when I first joined the site. Weeks on end where I slept one or two hours a night. Sometimes not sleeping at all....

Insomnia sucks. Glad to hear yours has passed.
I'm hoping that leftover Chinese food, Gentleman Jack, Neko Case & Sinclair Lewis' Main Street will turn out to be a cure for insomnia. If not, then I guess there are worse ways to spend an early Saturday morning.

I'd say that's a very good way to deal with insomnia.
