Ya know, little things amuse me. Today on my way back to work from lunch, I saw one of our military fellas (and heck no, I’m not knocking them, I LOVE boys in uniform) riding his motorcycle. Not odd or amusing in and of itself, for sure. But what makes it funny to me is [...]

Uncharacteristically Quiet
Posted in Farmgirl, Things to Ponder on July 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet lately, which I will attribute to soul-searching and introspection. I have so many thoughts and hopes and visions of how my future should be/will be, and that makes it hard for me to come up with words to put to paper (so to speak).
See, I’m done with my current job. And [...]
I’m back.

Though that isn’t really such a good thing. I am homesick beyond words, for a home I left when I was too young to miss it. Maybe it’s my family in Iowa I miss then. In any case, I’m home in Colorado and the homesick pangs from Iowa set in before I even hit the [...]
Gone Baby Gone

I’m almost outta here, just a few short hours left and I’ll be on my way to Iowa. I’m a nervous wreck, actually, and wondering why I work so hard to gain approval of the man who wasn’t even there while I was growing up. And I kind of think that seems to be the [...]
Oh Happy Day!

Today has been a pretty good day, all in all! I only have 5.5 work hours left until vacation, my favorite Starbucks barista has been saving me food-safe buckets from the Target bakery, and I even had a red velvet cupcake at lunchtime! What can be better than this?
How about a couple of tiny red [...]
Doesn’t Pay to Be a Boy

I butchered poor Rosie/Ronald last night. It wasn’t scary or bad or even very sad at all, though this being my first time as an adult meant I was unassisted. That was a bit intimidating.
I knew it was bound to happen, but yesterday when I got home, the darned bird started crowing and would NOT stop. Seriously, [...]
Dad Stuff

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go… Actually, I’ve only packed one bag, and I won’t be ready to go until Thursday afternoon, but still, preparations for my Iowa trip are in place. I’ve done a veritable mountain of laundry, baked all the chocolate cakes for Dad’s 60th surprise birthday party, written about [...]
Gettin’ the Axe

My hen Rosie has begun to attempt to crow in the mornings. Er, could that mean “Rosie” is actually “Ronald?” Dagnabit, and I was sure that 99% accuracy meant that an accidental roo couldn’t happen to me!
And now I’m faced with having to take Ronald out to the country house and butcher him. I’m so [...]
Who Cares?!?!

It seems that anything anyone says at anytime these days is open to civic scrutiny. If you say something in private to someone and are overheard, you’re likely to catch a public beat-down in the media. And what I don’t understand is why the media thinks any of us even CARE what this politician or that [...]
Homicidal Barbie…

…and her Serial Killer Sidekick Skipper. That’s Denise and me today. Shopping for “lunch,” boxes of diabetic-coma-cupcakes to take the edge off our moodiness.
Didn’t work, but I still love cupcakes.
*** I have probably not mentioned this before, but I do have a bit of an eating disorder.
