An ordinary quick 10 min drive from my parents house back to mine, and I saw a large raccoon running though the street, and then moments later a shooting star.  Neither do I see all that often, and too see two notable events on an otherwise insignificant drive through the town, a drive that will be footnoted in my mind. 

Its not that either was really overall terribly special, but nonetheless, sometimes it doesn't take much to make a moment in time, suddenly an event I will remember, rather than another drive I will soon forget.

     Lent has begun, how shall I use my time to better myself.

As I read through my xanga journal over the past 3 years I swear I find an common theme in my life, wonder how I can take my observations and be proactive to change anything?  Guess thats a goal to ponder?

I watched the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet, its way better than the Super Bowl!

Aloha again,

I decided I needed something good to look forward to, so I decided to book a birthday trip to Hawaii for myself.  I'll turn 31 in Hawaii on June 1.  Some months away, but I'll be very much ready to spend a week back in Hawaii by then.

Its been so wet and rainy of late my backyard has become a wetland habitat.  I was cleaning up a little and I found a little salamander outside in the planters.  It was dark brown with little yellow spots, cute little thing.  I wonder what it eats and where it came from, but I decided to leave it alone figuring it must have come to my yard for some reason. Live and let live.

Its still cold and rainy, and I slept till 5pm today, though I worked till 6am, and went to bed at 7:30.  Still its hard to be one nights in the winter some times.  When I"m tired and want to sleep the day away, I lose out on the day entirely.  I did manage to motivate myself to get to my laundry and clean up around the house.  I need to sort through some paperwork later, have random tax statements rolling in now, reminding me its almost that time. I"ll probably make a short day of it today, and sleep more, hopefully wake up in the morning again and be able to enjoy the day a bit more, though its going to be another really rainy stormy day. 

I made it to work today, partly just to get out of the house.  Two days at home in pajamas got old.  I'm not totally done with my cold, but I'm feeling somewhat better.  Just still not back to me completely.  I'll get there!

I was watching the news today, and they said it is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. I'd agree.

Its cold and rainy, I've been in my pajamas for close to 24hours drifting between the couch and my bed with a cold.

I'm bored with the TV, and not wanting to sleep right now, I'm not hungry, and I've no energy to go anywhere.  So  yup, its Blue Monday.

Some days, I'm just out of smiles. Like today.
