Time

I heard myself say something this morning and suddenly realized it may very well not be true. I seem to be saying it a lot in recent... years. I should just face the facts:

Life will not "slow down."

Things will not "get into a routine."

I will not "get settled."

The winter slump won't provide more time to "catch up,"

And the long summer days still won't fit in all the extra activities.

In short, time has become a precious commodity.

The Paperboys - Fall Down With You

Words fail me

I'm not a show-goer. They're too loud and there are too many people, but last night was the exception. The Paperboys are a five person Celtic, Mexican, folk, pop, and bluegrass band, as described by last night's opening band. But by the end of last night, they were joined on stage by their old bagpiper, two guest fiddle players, a horn player, and a saxaphone player! Add in elements of swing, tapdancing, and brass to come up with one amazing show. I know, it's a really odd mix, but believe me (the John Denver lover...), it was fantastic.

Oh man, I can't stop smiling :)

It's baaaaack...

Undeniably, fall is here. Pretty colors are starting :)

So Laura and I are headed to Vancouver tomorrow afternoon to do some shopping and see the The Paperboys in concert. I fell in love with them and have been listening for years, but I didn't know they were from the area. I'm pretty excited! Plus, Laura and Peter are turning out to be some pretty cool friends and I'm looking forward to spending some girl time with her :)

Tidbit

For those of you who asked, the old blog website is here. You may continue on with your day now.

What is with Washington?

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Portajohn doesn't have a monopoly, but what does surprise me are the other names of outhouses. Yet again, Washington hasn't failed to provide.


Here we have "A gem of a toilet."

And, sketchier still, "Honey Bucket."

Easily amused... as usual

I find it hilarious that an, uh, escort service has a phone number off by only one digit from our number in the ICU. Two in the morning on weekends (sadly, most other nights as well) provides endless amusement at the front desk...

While perhaps somewhat less amusing, but still funny to me, I saw this in the store the other day. Tell me, does the error with the cake balloon immediately jump out at anyone else? It belongs in the dollar store with my "Daily Plammer."

Afternoon at Discovery Park

A little tired, a little worn down, a little blue... Maybe this will perk us all up.

If you're curious, there's more where that came from.

Captain Observant, at your service!

Do you ever see a change so drastic that you wonder if it wasn't that way before and you just didn't notice? Like, for example, a huge hole where a house used to be on your street?

Mystery solved

I saw this the other morning on the walkway and was still trying to figure out what the shiny lines were when I came to the door. Then I saw this.

Cute :)
