Wasting time.

Life gets busy sometimes. The minutes get away from us and turn into days, months, years. Life is crazy that way. I had a though and sat down to write it down, but while I was getting my computer turned on, my thought disappeared. I've been here now for 20 minutes beating the misty corners of my brain trying to find it. Realizing how minutes can turn into years I have now decided to give up and go do something else.

Windy today

Wow, the wind howled all night last night and is still rattling my nerves today. I'm not sure why strong winds have always bothered me emotionally. Sometimes I think it could be that the valley I grew up in really doesn't have winds like these, but maybe that has nothing to do with it. Maybe its the sound the wind makes, whistling through the trees, between buildings, rattling windows and doors, and flapping any loose thing around.
Maybe, or ???

What the heck did I do with 2010???

Its the 13th of Jan. 2011.
How did that happen? And just what happened to 2010, I'm sure it just got started and now I realize I've used it all up.

I'm still working on it, but it is up and running. It has been fun deciding how I wanted it to look and getting it set up. Work, yes, but fun also.
Thanks to everyone that helped, you know who you are.

2's Day

Its raining, so nice to wake up to. And cool, I like that.

Accidents Grrrrr....

I have a different car. I didn't want a different car but I stopped for a red light and the car behind me didn't. This really looks a lot like my old car. But not quite as nice and it has a few more miles on it.
Funny thing is if you get rear ended and you are hurt the insurance company is willing to pay out some big money but if you don't get hurt they don't even have to give you enough to actually replace your car. Just "book value", and believe me that won't do it.
Oh well, I really didn't get hurt, and that is the good part of all this.
