I’m sitting in the TinkTerra, the haunting aroma of wet leaves, damp nylon and dirty laundry wafting through the air. Harley shivers on the seat beside me, upset because I won’t let him help tell our story. A tropical breeze (hurricanes are tropical, aren’t they) dances through the leaves above…
Is it really camping if you take your laptop, iPod, PDA and Blackberry? At least I left the portable DVD player at home. I didn’t do much with the iPod except listen to it while driving around, and I left the PDA on the charger the entire trip. But I…
I slept really well last night once I let some air out of the air bed. I have a double decker air bed that can be split into two if necessary. It’s nice, but I found out that if you put too much air into both mattresses, you rock around…
Harley and I left the house at about 9:30 in the morning. I didn’t even start to pack until after 6 Thursday night so I was in no hurry to get going. Also because I didn’t pack until the last minute, I had forgotten a dozen things I needed (or…
I had a couple of vacation days I had to take or I would lose them. Since work is so busy I decided to take one here and another there instead of trying to take them all at once. So, I have tomorrow off and I have packed all of…
I had a few friends from work over this weekend for game night. Dave, Brian and Cindy came as well as the friend-who-must-not-be-named. Dave brought his wife, Edie, and Brian brought his girlfriend, Rachel. I ordered pizza and had some veggies and fruit, too. Since our family is LDS and…
I think I demand way too much from the people I consider friends. First and most important, I expect loyalty. Unfortunately, that is what I rarely find. Maybe it would be different if I were a better friend myself. I think it’s time to go back to being a hermit….
I hope you had a good holiday. Ours was very quiet. We had Easter baskets, of course, and went to church and spent the rest of the day goofing off. In fact, I goofed off all weekend except for doing a little writing. I wrote my eighth story tonight, so…
I don’t know if you remember, but I decided to do a challenge similar to NaNoWriMo. I’m trying to give myself a break from my novel and force myself to look at new ideas, so I came up with the 30 Stories in 30 Days challenge. I was going to…
The book is done, at least the rough draft is, and on Harley’s birthday, too! I have pictures for you, of Harley’s birthday, not the book, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for those. I actually finished at 12:02 this morning, so Harley’s birthday is technically over, but who…
