Friday, February 20, 2009. Today was a really busy day.  The March Horizons was delivered and Beth, Melanie, Julie and Gerald and I all pitched in and got it done and to the post office by noon. I was out of the post office by 1:40pm.  I decided to stop at Publix on the way home and was driving by one I’ve only been in twice.  Then a series of synchronistic events began to unfold.

Friday February 20, 2009. “Tell me I did not just bring my laptop out into the garden with me…” That’s what I wrote yesterday.   I thought it was bad enough that I was going to bring some proofreading out with me, when I was supposed to be relaxing in the garden before a busy weekend of work.  Since I was going to proof read, I picked up pencil, highlighter, notepad… I could see where it was going so I just tossed it all into the briefcase and brought that out here.  I admit it, I’m a workaholic.

Thursday, February 19, 2009.   I remember one time I was 19 years old, and I was at my mother’s home complaining to her.  I had just quit a job and I didn’t want to find another one.  I mean, I knew I had to have a job and earn income since I was on my own, but I did not have the drive to seek another job and I had saved enough money to take the summer off.  I did not have any inner urge to look for a new job.  She told me to “always follow your heart” and “be prepared for the consequences you put in motion.” I told her that I was afraid that if I followed my heart, I would not find a job and earn income and I would end up being a bag lady on the street.  Continue reading →

Wednesday, February 18, 2009. I was driving by Circuit City at the Melbourne mall on the way home this evening and saw their giant sign CLOSING SALE, so I went in.  They are down to only about 1/4 of a store worth of merchandise; they had no computers or monitors.  I checked the prices on their remaining items and I saw that what they had marked 30%+ off was not discounted from their regular price,  but from an inflated price they never charged for the item in the first place.  Do stores think we don’t notice when they do this?

My galpal Jean Stevens in Seattle has been reading my blog and Facebook posts, where I often mention what I am about to make for dinner.  She asked, “umm.. do you just think about these things, or do you actually prepare and eat them?”  (I thought, now who would write about something they’re not really doing? And then I remembered, oh right, this is the internet…” ROFL)  When I further thought about it, I realized that oftentimes I will decide what to eat when I read what I’ve typed about it.

We didn’t start the fire.  Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song. Here it is, set to pictures… very cool. Had to share this one. It’s a neat flashback through the past half century.  Turn up volume and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in  less than 3 minutes! Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare  time and Google. The  older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.  Check out the subliminals after the video, and take the survey. VERY interesting. http://yeli.us/Flash/Fire.html

Tuesday, February 17, 2009.  I just took a photo safari in my own yard.  I found some interesting things but some wouldn’t translate well into small photos.  Like two cuttings of turk’s cap I just put in the yard a month ago are only 6 inches high but each developed a bud and bloomed!  The weather has them fooled.  The mulberry blooms are too tiny to see and the loquats are still green, but my scheffelera arboricola has beautiful berries.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Ok, I have to fess up. As healthy a diet as I have, and as little processed food and meat that I eat, I have retained one guilty pleasure.  In fact, I have just rediscovered it after several years away.  I used to never cook with canned soup.  I would eat Campbell’s canned cream of mushroom soup as a soup but never cooked with it.  Except this one dish my mom used to make.  Now that Campbell’s has changed their soup recipe, it is a relatively low fat dish.
