Losing Blogging Steam~

I think the whole family has given up on the whole blogging thing. No one has written anything in a long time. I am no exception. Maybe I can get the whole thing rolling again. One thing's for sure, I need to start reading Diamond Geezer again. That guy is cool.

Also, in honor of the new year and some of my Christmas presents, I am adding a new link to my page. Enjoy.

Disappointment~

Once I was teaching a lab.
One of the students in that lab seemed like my ideal guy.
Then I found out that he was a freshman, barely 18.

An Ode to Blogging in Bed

Handwriting recognition, online comics, spider solitaire.
Down comforter, sweatpants, pillow.
Late night, exams finally graded, drooping eyes.
Wireless Internet...need I say more?

Computer fan whirring, face yawning, I lay down my head.
Eyes watering, alarm set, I finally resolve to go to bed.

Satisfaction~

Sometimes it doesn't take much to make me satisfied. School has started, and I've been feeling pretty swamped. Today feels good, though. Maybe because it's a Friday, or as I like to call it, "Fridya." Tonight I get to attend an employee appreciation dinner, a wedding reception, and a birthday party...I'm not sure in what order. If I can get it all in, it will be very satisfying.

I guess those are big things. A small thing would be..........wait for it...........snickers ice cream bars in the vending machines. It never fails to make me feel good (even if I end up with a stomach ace).

I guess that's it, so...to my family of slacker bloggers,

Welcome Back!

I just have to say, for those of you who weren't there, Zion National Park is the greatest! If you have never hiked Angel's Landing, you must! Even my mom has hiked it, and she's afraid of heights!

On a different note, does anyone know where I can find a cheap commercial grinder that will grind soil so finely that it will fit through a 60 mesh? I would be very appreciative, especially as my hands are a little sore from all the grinding I did yesterday.
