New Stuff

I finally got a new office chair...I'm not sure if I should have gotten the smaller one. But it was on sale: Mom was nice enough to buy it for me, plus new gym shoes and a few tops, and a purse. So nice. I have to help her with her computer and moving furniture around in her living room. It's a small price to pay. Now I'm just listening to Hank Mobley and drinking a glass of red wine. I'm Content.

Maya Angelou

It's sad that Maya Angelou died today. She was old and in poor health, so it's not that shocking, but still sad. I got updates from her on Facebook, so it's kind of weird that there will be no more. I was just thinking yesterday how she'll probably die soon. Yikes.

Dad's Birthday Celebration

We went out for dinner for Dad's 80th (!) birthday yesterday. It was nice. I need to get together with him soon too though because we didn't really get to talk--too many people. On an unrelated note, I need to get over my fear about stuff (job)

H.R. Giger

Sad news about H.R. Giger dying. He was youngish.

Tomorrow is Dad's 80th Birthday!!

I love this picture of Dad in the yellow, Uncle Dick next to him, Aunt Marie behind him, and Uncle John and Aunt Sandy behind Dad. May, 2014

Funny

I agree; people using this word has bothered me for at least a couple years now. I first noticed it when Paris Hilton said it on some talk show. ugh. "Blessed"

A 3-hour nap!

I just woke up. I started having sad thoughts and decided to get up. I had a great day with my mom. We enjoyed just talking so much that we didn't even get around to me helping her with her computer issues. We went out for Moroccan chicken salad. It's so good; it has spiced chicken, and sweet potatoes, beets, some sort of nut, I think dates or something. It's really good. The dirty dishes are yelling at me. I'm trying to not listen, but I know I have to contend with them. Grumph! I just made up that word; do you like it?
