I have stories in my head. I challenged myself to post something every day this week.   This is it.  I'm going to bed.  If I go now, I have a chance of getting 7.5 hours of sleep tonight.  I cancelled guitar/spanish for tomorrow morning, so I ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/going-to-bed-with-stories-in-my-head/ In my last post, I mentioned that it snowed here last week.  I'm over the snow and the coldness of this climate.  Summer only last 3 months, if that.  Almost everyone takes advantage of the warm weather as much as possible.  It's been cooler here this year than usual.  The ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/weather-other-side-of-the-coin/ I do NOT like be awakened from naps.  I was almost asleep, drifting into my afternoon thoughts on life, when Little Guy joined me on the couch...and started kicking me in the rear.  I told him repeatedly to stop.  He didn't.  I moved to the other couch, my heart beating ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/phases-a-kick-in-the-rear/ Not to brag, but it's midnight, and I just got home from a night on the town, and it wasn't work that kept me out late.  I feel tired, and my mind's going a mile a minute, at least, and that's kind of slow for me.   I've been listening to ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/tt-green/ I have slept all night for 8, consecutive hours for 3 nights in a row.  This is a miracle.  I don't remember the last time this happened.  I'm a 4-6 hour a night kind of gal.  I get 8 hours in one night once or twice a week.  Most of ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/worth-writing-down/ I had a BLAST and a half at work (at the restaurant) last night. It's Music Fest this weekend, and that means live, free music Thursday through Sunday and lots of people milling around town. We seated people for a half hour longer past closing, and we threw ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/talk-thursday-hot-summer-nights/ I received these from a friend who only forwards worthy emails.  They made me laugh, and I needed that, so I thought I'd share.  Sorry, I've been a little MIA lately in the blog world.  Lots going on.  Busy with all 4 jobs (yay!), and I have an interview tomorrow ... http://firstpositionparallel.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/zen-sarcasms/
