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…
My HTML class went pretty well today. I never quite got in the zone, but it wasn’t bad. If you’ve never taught a class or given a lecture or spoken in public you may not know the zone, but it’s great when it happens. My friend-who-must-not-be-named said it must be…
I’m teaching an HTML class at work, starting tomorrow. I have 17 coworkers who have signed up. That means there are at least 17 people who are willing to give up their lunch hours to listen to me talk. That’s kind of humbling. Of course, I’m a great teacher, and…
I bought a 2006 Nissan XTerra just before Christmas. It had everything I wanted except for the color, which is dark gray. Yuck. I looked into getting it painted, but that ran into thousands of dollars. Instead I looked for, and found, every imaginable auto accessory featuring Tinker Bell. I…
