So... what have you been up to?

I have been up to lots, thanks for asking! I recently started a Couch to 5k run/walk program and will be running my first 5k.... eventually. It's slow going. I am way more out of shape than I would like to admit. Remember those days when you could play all day and by play I mean run around like a crazy person and never get tired? Those were good times. It's a shame that we appreciate those days more when we are older. I am starting to sound like those people I thought were sooooooooooooo old when I was a kid, I'm not certain that I approve of this change. I have plans to do lots of fun excursions over the next few months. Well, if you have been around long enough, you know my idea of fun usually entails driving somewhere remote (though not always) taking a bunch of pictures and boring the boogers out of you with all the details when I get back. HAH! And, as always, I must leave you with a photo because that's just what I do. This is from an excursion I took just before I moved back to the desert to the Woodland Park Zoo in Washington State. If you ever get the chance, go there! It's fabulous! I don't, in general, particularly like zoos, and I was happily entertained all day and could have stayed longer.
And, for the the more florally-inclined individuals, there is an amazing rose garden just around the corner. I also am not the biggest fan of roses (they make me sneeze and I get itchy sometimes), but it even impressed me. Ah, what the heck, here's a photo from there also.
HAH! I bet you thought it was going to be a rose! Fooled you! I hope that you are all enjoying life and either content or happy wherever you are.

It's Saturday! And that means it's time for Five Senses Friday... Thanks so much to Abby Try Again for sharing this wonderful idea! Seeing: My art teacher's house at a BBQ tonight. It was such a lovely space. Smelling: Baked beans simmering in the crockpot. droool... Tasting: Cherries! Again, I know. But this was off the cherry tree in the yard! I beat the birds to one! Feeling: Content and excited for a move this fall. Hearing: The kitty happily purring next to me. Love that sound! Play along if you like (comment and let me know if you do, I want to see what you come up with!). I enjoyed this little experiment in the senses. See you for another next week! I'm off this weekend to Goldfield a bit north of here in Nevada. It's a restored ghost town, sort of. For the last few years they have been having a Memorial Day Weekend Rendezvous of sorts. Mostly lots of BBQ. Can't wait to get shots of the lovely old west buildings for some art projects I'm pl

Today, a completely random thought post. Including a completely random photo that has nothing to do with what I am saying. I just like to have pictures in my posts, I think it makes them pretty...=) The wind has finally died down and I am really looking forward to a walk tonight after my second to last ever math class! Have I mentioned that I am excited to be done with the class!?! No, well I am! The professor is one of those people who thinks he is funny, but really is not. He is also one of those people who thinks jokes make the class more fun, but has not the timing for such a thing. As a result, the class is primarily uncomfortable and full of awkward silences. That is when he acknowledges that there are other people in the room besides himself. You know the ones right?!? I have been trying to focus on the positive and most of the time I can laugh about whatever it is eventually. And, eventually this will also be hilaaaaaaarious... yeah, right after I finish my final on Mond

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

Image
makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge
