Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

wearing: Khaki low riders, white t-shirt, brown yoga jacket, brown sunuks
hearing: Birds
eating: nothing
drinking: nothing
doing: nothing
wanting: still a whole lot of stuff
Looking forward to: Supper - I have steak tonight...and a nice bottle of red wine.

wearing: blue jeans, black shirt, dark grey sweatshirt;
hearing: that everpresent ring in my left ear, a couple of cars driving by, a siren in the background, and I think some minor sounds clinking sounds coming from the heater;
eating: white chocolate chip cookies from Subway;
drinking: water;
doing: a2k and nothing else ... yet. Just got home and haven't figured any immediate plans;
wanting and Looking forward to: I guess someone to talk to....

wearing: Kinda coppery cords, black boots, dark gray turtleneck, black cardigan, jean jacket, dark gray with light gray floral design scarf (it SNOWED today and is cold, after a run of gorgeous weather, I wore this outside but just left it on 'cause it's cold in here too).
hearing: ---
eating: Just had a few chips.
drinking: Need some water.
doing: Checking in on A2K, email, FB, about to start cleaning and then dinner prep.
wanting: To really attack this house and bring things up to speed. (Not just spring cleaning but painting, electrical, stuff like that.)
Looking forward to: Nicer weather again soon. Supposed to be upper 60's next week.

wearing: blue jeans, cocoa sweater, favorite ratty loafers, my multicolored polka dotted plastic ring that I bought in Marina del Rey for $1.00
hearing: that everpresent ringing in both ears, wind gusts and something on the roof adding further sounds in syncopation
eating: nothing
drinking: chocolate milk
doing: gradually putting groceries away and cleaning kitchen again; time to try making that bread I've been letting rise since yesterday.
wanting and looking forward to: finishing weeding the main part of the front yard so I can get on to moving the d'med landscape ties and piling up stones to advertise on Freecycle (I keep saying I'll do this). Then I'd have to buy smaller stones or some coarse wood mulch, both of which have negatives to me (a stone cover helps burn the "soil" in this climate, and the big wood mulch, which is necessary - or is it? - to not have mulch fly in the wind, is plug ugly) . Alternately, I can spend time wearing goggles and taking a sledge hammer to the 2 to 3 +" stones I'm gathering up. I think my plan will come down to putting the stones in 5 gallon containers with "stones - please take me" signs. This is all part of the result of having the tract contractor dump from eight inches to twenty inches of sandsoil in my front yard to avoid the price of a haul away at construction time from whatever was extra on these particular lots. Too much sand, a cover of stones you can't walk on, and no room for compost or even plant rootballs to be added.

If you knew me, this would be inexplicable - I've been l. arch on major landscape jobs, but for reasons too long and personal to list, don't have money now to just hire folks. Not to whine. It's a puzzlement I'll work out, and in the meantime, I'm learning about land design in virtually pure sand.

Tsar and Swimpy -
on my trip with my cousins to california from here in their giantico rv - that I rebelled against and succumbed to - I heard a musical changing hum as the rv sped in its lumbering way across the many seemingly barren landscapes. I suppose trucks and trains do that too.

I won't say it was Brian Eno like, more like a cello doing scales slowly..

Maybe the RV dreams of being the next Yo Yo MA in it's next life!

The feeling is quite mutual JB!!

and me too.

I voted this up because I wanted to acknowledge the post, and then voted it down, because I decided to test the option for some inexplicable reason, though I didn't for a second imagine that I couldn't change my mind!

But it seems that I'm stuck with it!

Sorry Stepan. Who knew?

S'alright....

OK good

I threw an extra thumb on for ya.

You're probably busy balancing that lime on your nose

Thanks Beth. I love youuuuuu.
