knarly crash dude

So I really need to stop watching the Food Network at night before I fall asleep. On Easter morning, just as I was waking up, I had a dream about a breakfast burrito that had a few special extras in it. Like a piece of pie. And it actually sounded really good. Then last night, no dream, but they were showing this little place that served fresh cooked, thin-sliced ham on fresh homemade buscuits. The host of the show: "This could be the only thing on the menu and I would move here." Not the best thing to hear two minutes before you turn off the tv to go to sleep. When you've been too busy to eat any dinner. But don't worry too much about me. Got a nice turkey sandwich sitting on each side of me right now. And not just so I don't get lonely.

That's about all I got for now. Only a week and a half till the Rockies home opener!

the wrong direction

Ok. So I've been reminded that I never shared about the awesome Missy Higgins concert that I went to last week. I have had every intention of doing so, but have been just a tiny bit buys since, and without my own computer...well, it's getting done now. And now that I only have exactly one minute until I'm supposed to start work, I better get on it!

First off, she is way cute! And the Australian accent sure doesn't hurt anything at all. She tried to tell stories between most of her songs, some of which were about the songs themselves and some were just random stories that were kind of funny but mostly funny for the fact that she usually realized while she was telling it that it was rather boring and had absolutely no point so then would make fun of herself. She actually started one song over just because she played a bad chord but before they started it again she just broke into some other totally different little riff on the piano, which the band then picked up, "to get the bad chord out of her mind". It was all quite hilarious. As I am still rather new to her music, she played a few songs that I had never heard before and was still able to get engrossed in the lyrics of.

In all it was very fun. Would love to tell you more about it, but my minute has turned into ten already and I must go.


music: nothing. absolutely nothing.

silence speaks louder than words

So, like, I have totally not even been posting on this thing much lately. Guess I've just let this cold weather get to me and my ability to get out of bed in the morning. I just have no desire to go outside any earlier than I need to. But I am a little excited about this week, so maybe that's why I managed to get up early...on a Monday, no less.

I've just noticed over the last few days that I have a bunch of what look like slivers stuck in my hands. I have no idea what they actually are or where/when I managed to pick them up. I'm not even positive that they are slivers, they sure don't irritate like I would think they would if they were. Maybe I'm just losing any nerve function in my fingers from steaming things at the store.

Saturday was absolutely awesomely GORGEOUS here! Got out with a couple of the guys and managed to get the first round of disc golf of the year in before I had to spend the rest of the day at the mall. Seemed a little rusty, but actually didn't end up playing too badly. Had a couple of pretty incredible throws, well incredible considering it was the first time out...and a couple of the throws that you just wish that no one else was around to see. But it was a blast being out there!

And then it snowed on Sunday. A lot. I love living in CO! But I do think I'm ready for summer. Or at least softball to start. And bbqs. And baseball on SportsCenter. And that means it needs to be summer.

Finally finished reading Oliver Twist last week. And last night I finally started reading the book I was given for Christmas. Only managed to get through the first chapter, (yes Jess, I know that the first chapter of that book is only like four pages long but I was tired and I can be kind of a slow reader...) but it looks like it's going to be a great book. I even brought it to read on break at work tonight. And maybe while I'm folding bottoms.
