Earlier, I had an overwhelming desire to ramble about my peaceful weekend, and it turned into a book/film report. Let me try this again. I seem to have lost my ability to Sleep In past a certain time of morning. This includes weekends, and even days that I am sick. Part of this is that…

Sick With a Side of Dragon Tattoo, and Other Things
I have been experiencing complete moments of silence this morning. Right now, the folks nearest to my office are whispering, the phones aren’t ringing, and there was a brief lull in the traffic outside my window. Earlier, I was out back and had that same sort of lull. Even the birds stopped chirping. These moments…
Timing is Everything
This happened a few days ago, but I find myself sporadically still thinking about it. Earlier this week, there was a shooting at the corner of 8th and Washington, a block up from where I work. One of my coworkers was outside in our parking lot at the time, and heard the *pop pop pop!*…
Sneaky Saints Fan
Well, actually, I’m NOT a sneaky Saints fan at all. I am, in fact, typically a fairly brazen Saints fan. Today, though, I’m walking in two worlds. It is Casual Broncos Day here at work, which means everyone can wear their Broncos Swag and be all excited. Since MY team is playing this weekend, too,…

A Morning Walk
In contrast to my leisurely stroll yesterday, this morning’s walk was a little less zen and a little more slippery. About 5 years ago, I made the decision to live in the same neighborhood where I worked, not only because it’s a great place and I enjoy city dwelling, but because it would mean the…
An Evening Walk
My husband and I only have one car between the two of us. Since he works about 30 minutes away from home, and I, meanwhile, work a mere four blocks from our apartment, he wins driving rights, and I walk everywhere. I’ve been Walking Everywhere for several years now, and I love it because I…
Pet Peeve Phrase
“You’re too young to be having *insert knee pain, back pain, other pain*!” This comment always drives me up a wall, although I suppose it could be complimentary? See, I’ve had knee probs before. And back probs. Lately, it’s the back that’s been at the forefront of skewy, like right. This. Very. Second. Where I…
