All of this "goodness" can be yours for under $20. We were supposed to go out and enjoy a bottle of wine, but we didn't have the cash for that. So we stayed in tonight and had our champagne anyway.
Yum...

Tonight it's hot and I don't know if I will sleep well, so I am drinking some High Life in hopes of a bit of rest.
Also I am hoping the Spurs kick the hell out of the Cavs!!
That's where I stand.

I feel like there are a thousand things I want to do and read and organize. I don't know where to start. I make lists and leave them in random places around the house. I don't feel discouraged just a little behind. Behind what? Just behind the swirling thoughts in my mind is all.

I love fall. Today is one of those perfect mornings. It was 46 degrees when I got out of bed and will probably warm up to the mid 60's. I can't get enough of the soft fall light and the crisp air. I know a lot of folks enjoy the fall, but I have always associated it with festive times. I don't know if this has anything to do with my birthday being in the fall or not. I just remember as a kid I was always looking forward to October when "it all began". It's a pretty steady stream of eating and gifts and gatherings. Halloween, birthday, Mom's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Now I know some folks have mixed feelings about the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season. It does bring a lot of chaos nowadays. For now though, I think I will be excited for the beginning of my favorite season.

Today Ryan convinced me to walk to the library and postpone my nap. So, I was kind of out of it and not too excited for the first couple of blocks. I was just explaining something when all of a sudden I was sliding to my knees on a grate in the sidewalk. It was all very jarring and confusing and slightly embarrassing. We were at a pretty busy intersection near the hospital entrance. I wanted to cry but I don't really care to cry in public so I "walked it off". When we got to the library Ryan was trying his best to clean my blood splattered leg when a nice man from the maintenance department asked if I "needed some assistance?" I said no thanks, but he was determined to help us. He took us to the 4th floor and called in some back up to meet us in the offices. When we got up there I was pretty impressed by the library office. Our friendly helper transferred us to someone else and he was off after wishing us a good day. While helper #2 cleaned AND put a band aid on my knee someone else came by to make sure I had everything I needed. What a place! I felt well taken care of and it made me even more appreciative of our library. They really care. Take it from me and my torn up knee.
Also, helper #1 informed us that the Governor would be at The Ryerson Library on Saturday.
So I think the library should have a new motto. "The Library for literacy and healing". Has a nice ring don't ya think?
Here's the cut...I think it's going to bruise so it's going to look even more awesome.

Well, today is definitely a far different day than yesterday. It's much more humid and has that surreal quality. Not that I mind. I think that the feeling is caused by all of the pressure in the air pushing on my brain. At any rate I don't feel quite as focused as yesterday. I may go to the store, but than I have to put some more clothes on and I'm not too sure how motivated I am to do that. Guess I'll just sip some more tea and think it over.

Today I went to the farmer's market and spent some money on flowers. I don't really have the money to spend but I did it anyway and I'm glad. It satisfied some aspects of my longing to be outside enjoying the sun. I wanted the beach but, we all know how Ryan loves the beach. HA! It was an awesome day. I even found some treasures buried in our grass. (surprise, surprise) There were a lot of candy and popsicle wrappers and , of coarse, bottle caps. I also found a glass wing for a model plane and a purple barrette with three kittens on it. I think the barrette was my favorite.
I hope everyone else is enjoying their day too...

I just meandered around myspace for a piece and I decided I hate it. I'm sure it has a good use if you are a musician or someone who is trying to promote themselves. The thing is for me is that too many folks are trying to promote themselves as things they are not. Now, I don't know all of these people or even many of them, but it kind of makes me sick and I don't like the format.
Ok, I have to admit that this stems from something personal. I just read a profile on someone I know and I now believe is mentally ill. Or possibly just extremely delusional. I really want to post something to her, but I can't because I am not a myspace member. Also, i would just want her to wonder who would say that to her and it would be funny to me.
Alright, enough of my crankiness. I've been swearing like a trucker all day and I just had to let a bit more out. I blame it on my toe-up fuckin' feet!
That is all for now.
Good night.....

So, Ryan has been gone for about 5 days now. I just had some friends over and now they are gone. The neighbors are quiet. The police were here earlier and it's really freakin' hot. Random thoughts and some sangria.
It's really strange how exposed you feel when you are alone. I'm just starting to get used to it.

So, as most of you have heard (read) we have a new computer. When I say "we" I actually mean Ryan got a new computer and I get the "old" iMac. For now, this suits me fine because I am not nearly as tech-savvy as Ryan. I am just happy to have unlimited time to browse unnecessary sites for nonsensical things and take my time. I am also thinking this gives me more of an opportunity to live journal. I am not going to make any promises though. We all know I'm usually only good for a random post every few months. (if that)
But I've still got my eyes on you all.

It's a beautiful sunny spring morning. To enjoy this day I got up at 8am and have been watching cable TV since. Just want to make sure I get my moneys worth. Right now, watching (listening to) Modern Marvels on the History channel. I can't believe I've been missing out on this for so long.

A trip to NYC to remind us of our passions, that the world is still out there and things are happening.
The most energy I've had in so long that I can't recall.
Ah, Life!
Living, to revive our souls.

Why can't people answer seemingly simple questions? I believe simple questions may be more complicated for some people to answer than involved questions. Why do we keep so many things inside?
Hey did anyone see the Pistons game? Pretty awesome don't you agree?

 | | The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)
Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.
For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.
Your exact opposite:
The Nymph
Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer
| You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.
Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

So tomorrow I leave for LA. My mission is to scout the area for great( affordable) neighborhoods and apartments and jobs. As of 9:49pm I don't even know where I'll be sleeping tomorrow night. I feel at ease about it though. At the begining of the week I was all nervous, but now that I've actually made a decision to go it seems ok. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I had promised these people who moved away a few weeks ago that I'd be more
diligent about updating my livejournal. Well, I haven't been. I've attempted to a few times and
become bored with my topic before I even start. I think "what's the point?"
Well the point is I check everyone's LJ entries just about everyday and I kinda look forward to it.
So I will try.
Our house is empty. Not our apartment, of course. But there is this lonely stillness that radiates from the lower unit
that is a place we used to call our friends place. It's not that we used to see them everyday
even though we lived upstairs and they down. In fact we would actually go days without seeing them depending
on our schedules. It's more that you could hear them walking around or the dog getting in trouble. (which was about everyday for awhile)
Now it's the stillness were our friends used to be. And Jered won't come over anymore.
It's a little strange and for some reason disorienting. But I hear they like their new place and I'm happy for them.
We're doing our best to hold the fort down, as they say. I know this sounds a bit gloomy I was just feeling a little nostalgic
and wanted my friends to know how much they're missed.
How's that?

Well I started this and it was too long winded.
I was going to relate a thought I'd had about opening the windows and the cats.
Basically, it was about helping too much and when people (or in this case an animal) needs to learn
for themselves. And this is pretty vague and in my mind it is much clearer and less new agey mumbo jumbo.
yeah...
