I am going to kill my dogs
D and I got home from running an errand to find both dogs covered in paint. They ate D’s oils and acrylics. Puck went for red, his mouth covered in the stuff. Pip went for the orangish red with dabs of yellow on his chest, and a little spot of blue on his feet. Did [...]
On Saturday - Burpday!
Babbo’s at 6. If you are coming, let me know ASAP so I can reserve a table outside.
Dancer’s Royale at 8:30ish (depending on how long dinner goes). Bring you dollar bills!
A Roadtrip of Lessons
Roadtrips are not all they are cracked up to be
Not eating is a very bad thing.
Sometimes taking a break is the hardest decision to make.
People do stupid thing when they are tired.
You have to remember to bring the battery for the camera if you intend on taking pictures.
Dr. Pepper is not a meal.
Showers are lovely [...]
Home sweet home
I am home. I am overly-tired. More later
The rare Dunny, and a road trip
I think you all know of my obsession with crap-tastic little plastic toys. I don’t know what it is that drives me, but the cuter the better. So last night at Uberbot (my local crack-house for goodies) they were having a Dunny Series 3 trading party. I got an e-mail stating as much, but I [...]
Tour de France winner tests positive for drugs
What?
I listened to NPR, watched the news and rooted for him the whole way. Riding through agonizing pain, he felt like the underdog to me, and I love underdogs. He sprung back from an 8 minute deficit. I don’t know what this discovery means… but it’s not good. Was my faith misplaced? Cheaters often win, [...]
I have a Pebl and it’s not a stone
I don’t know why, but when I said that last night, I amused the hell out of myself. D and I got phones and a new cell provider last night. He opted for the smooth and spacy Razr, and I got the Pebl. The round, smooth shape got me. That, and I could get the [...]
Stone Earrings
This morning I realized how much I love my earrings. I’ve had to stretch them to a 4g to fit, but I think they are lovely. I’m trying to get away from bone jewlery. I feel bad for the poor buffalo. They are not slaughtered for their horn and bone. They are just using [...]
Portland Wanderings…
Holy shit! Dog parks galore!
I think our puppies would be very very happy.
Metroblogs Portland
An interesting place to get info about Portland…
Sustainable Living!
Cat and I talked about this… so I found some interesting info.
Dinner Cruise
David took me on a cruise like this (although this looks a lot classier) and I loved it. Perhaps we should all [...]
Thank you anyway….
So, yesterday didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. After a painfully numb conversation, I turned my phone off. So, thank you to those that called. The messages made me feel better this morning. I went to bed last night just wanting the day to be over. It was a shit birthday, honestly. [...]
I love trees
In working out the reason for my blue, I remembered my dream from this morning. We were at our house, but it was falling apart. There was a leak in the middle of the living room that kept rotting away the wood. We kept a carpet over it so none of the creatures fell through. [...]
Spinning Silver
Spinning silver, my aged crown,
Shimmer through a sea of brown.
My eyes, framed by lines,
My arms, past their prime,
All changed with time’s tearing down.
Today is a promise passing.
Thirty years, memory fogging.
I find my fortunes much changed.
My priorities rearranged,
A future, I’m still building.
I see her smiling in my mirror
She’s changed but I recognizer her.
That woman with the [...]
Buh Bye!
I am going to that company thing today, so I won’t be avaliable for the long post. But here’s a list of weekend loveliness
Morrowind
Biking in the AM with D
Dog park
Maybe a run
Dinner and drinks at a place I love
Watching D suffer through homework (and when he does - I will still be playing Morrowind!)
sleeping in [...]
Kill kill kill…..
They are playing Buffett agian. And it’s the big boss who is getting the laughs on me this time. I need to switch CD’s and put some nice Dieselboy or some old Ministry in the player. I wonder what they would think of my music then?
Seriously… I want it to stop!! I am very glad [...]
Money
sucks.
End of story.
Killing the Innocent?
Let’s get things straight first. I am
Pro-Abortion
Pro-Stem Cell Research
Anti-war
Anti-death penalty Pr-enviornment
Pro-animal rights.
I’m not a fan of the literal translations of the bible. It was a document written by many men (see: human men) and has been proven to have many contradictions. The bible author’s beliefs and opinions imbued the document, in my opinion, with personal [...]
I hate Jimmy Buffet
This is a work post, but I am annoyed, not railing at the injustices of my job, so it’s not protected.
We are having this lunch thing on Friday for the whole department. It’s mean to rouse the troops and bring a feeling of unity and ….well… it’s crap. We are having BBQ, which I didn’t [...]
If you’re happy and you know it….
I went running this morning. Actually, a more appropriate term would be “I jogged while trying to avoid tripping myself up on the beagles.” I felt good to get my ass moving again. There’s nothing like pushing yourself. I have fallen behind of where I was before, but it’s just like riding a bike (and [...]
Shoe hack
The Cheaper Version
I’ve wanted the nike shoes to go with my nano so I could track my runs, but I faced the dilema of giving up my shoes. I love my shoes. They keep my legs from hurting. That being said, this hack looks like it would work pretty well without the shoes…. you have [...]
It’s monday…moody monday
Frickin Wordpress ate my first post, so it’s lazy time for the Erica. I’m too damn hungry to string along cohesive paragraphs, so you get a list.
My enchiladas are still the best out there.
Sometimes its best to just shut up and forgive, but I’m not taking my own advice right now.
I love Morrowind and had [...]
