Thoughts on Time Management - Creating a Master List

Icon Written by on April 30, 2009 – 7:57 pm

Ah. Life. There’s always something to do, isn’t there? Today as I type I am aware that I need to do the dishes, change the cat litter, fold some laundry (oh no, is the laundry still wet in the dryer?), and do some food shopping. And that doesn’t even include the various things I need [...]

Pic of the Day #4 River of Flowers

Icon Written by on April 21, 2009 – 5:12 am

Okay well, I never promised this was going to be an exact science. I took this photo on Saturday after I already posted that day’s pics. So I am considering this Sunday’s picture. That means I am still one day behind with getting my pictures posted. So, this is intended to be the picture from [...]



Pic of the Day #3 Sea Lions at Monterey Bay

When I arrived at the Wharf today to take my pictures, my original intent was to get there while the mist was still heavy. By the time I got dressed, ate breakfast, and made it down there, however, the mist was gone. My dissappointment was short lived when I heard the tell take gutteral wails [...]

Today went much better! I took an AM walk along the water near Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey and had plenty of inspiration. This one is my favorite of all the shots I took, so I selected it as today’s featured photo. I LOVE the California Poppy that made it into the shot.

Okay - I finally took my first pic. It was sort of stressful. As I was about to snap the first shot of the day (I took at least fifteen pictures) I almost couldn’t do it. I was frozen in place! And then I thought, why am I frozen? I am not even doing this [...]

The Domestic Goddess Project

Martha Stewart I’m not - and I don’t want to be. My expectations are pretty simple. I want to live in a decluttered, well decorated environment. I wouldn’t want to try to be someone else anyway. I’m too set in my ways - too accustomed to my own personal style. I simply want my home [...]

The “One Photo a Day” Project Commences

Icon Written by on April 16, 2009 – 1:23 am

When I learned that my college friend Jennifer and her band, The Honorable Mentions were trying to write and record a song a week I felt simultaneously happy for her as the music is mad cool, and also guilty because I don’t have a similar aspiration or my own. I want one! Gimme.
So what’ll it [...]

A Lesson in Sales at the Nail Salon

Icon Written by on April 7, 2009 – 10:20 pm

It happens to me nearly every time I go to the nail salon. I always show up with something in mind - a manicure or a pedicure usually. This is a typical conversation:

Me. I’d like a manicure, please.
Them. Okay, choose a color.
So I do. Then I sit down and the manicure commences.
Them. You want French [...]
