there is sunshine in my soul today

Ah, opening shifts. I curse them when my alarm goes off and bless them when I clock out and the sun is still shining. This week I learned that no matter what happens, I can survive it. I get knocked d...

I cannot leave the subject blank

Got me a haircut today. Just another step in shedding my winter skin. I always feel like there are new possibilities when Spring rolls around. Granted, an Oregon winter isn't exactly the same creature...

Shpedoinkle Day

This has been one of the laziest days I've had in a long time, and I'm not apologizing for it. All week I've covered miles of ground on foot and bicycle (when it wasn't trying to kill me) and so I des...

Giddeyup
