Today in the lovely Willamette Valley, the rythmic hum of lawnmowers fills the air. It is a sunshiny day and I rode my bicycle to the YMCA and back. The front door is open.
* I am an excellent starter, but a piss poor finisher. This personality trait may have something to do with my "dabbling". This week I started writing daily. I have three or four pieces started, but I can't seem to finish them. You may have noticed that the soccer post ends sort of in the middle. This is an example of the piss poor finishing I am referring to.
* My cousin Megan has a blog and is doing a 365 photos project. She takes great photos, and she is hilarious. I have something to look forward to each day.
*Costco has pulled a muffin switcheroo. Muffins used to be 18/ $6.49. The crappy part was that you either had to buy 18 bran muffins, or buy the assortment they chose, which always seemed to include 6 poppyseed that nobody likes. Now, they package the muffins in individual flavor trays, 6 to a tray, and let you choose 2 flavors for $6.49, which effectively raises the price of the muffins from 36 cents each to 54 cents each.
* my keyboard doesn't have the "c with the line through it" cents symbol.
* I want an old school Nikon or Olympus camera with lots of lenses and filters, and I want to learn to use it to take amazing photgraphs on film.
In conclusion, I learned some things this week.
I'm really great at starting and not finishing either. It must be the Saxwold gene pool. The only reason I've still probably continued is because of the Saxwold Competitive gene too - if you're posting, I'm posting!
ReplyDeleteI also feel like I need to pay you with a picture after I read one of your posts.
And that effing Costco. How dare they use creative packaging to drive up their per muffin cost??? Maybe they had enough people bitching about the poppyseed muffins they uncreatively added to a pkg of mixed muffins. A 'hope someone eats these' throw-in.
So maybe together, we'll make it to 4-1-10.
What are you going to do about vacations?
Too funny! I was just reading your post, thinking... "Megan's is better..."
ReplyDeleteand the pay me thing...I feel the same!
Vacations are pretty easy for me, because the only consistent writing I have ever done is in the trailer. I have a notebook in there, and I journal about our trips. If we go somewhere without the trailer where I can't take a laptop, I'll have to post when I get home.
