Random Notes from the Tired Life

1.  O.K…..I’m not liking ANY of the templates I’m trying out for this blog.  I like the way the images pop against a dark background but maybe the black is too harsh….  I may try a new one every day or so.  Please make your feelings heard….oh yeah….that means leave a frigging comment.

2.  Owen LOVED the Sarah Lee Guthrie/Johnny Irion concert.  He said it was awwwwwesome.  Man, I’d be happy if he was in MY audience…..here he is singing along:

3.  I think my sister Judi is going to try to come visit in June which will make my mother so happy.  Oh, well….me too of course….

4. We’re hoping to go to Maine this summer….have rented a house for a week…but then I wonder if I’m going to have enough vacation time with all I’ve taken off…..and of course it means leaving my mother alone….hard to know what to do…

5. I need more siblings right now. I’ve never wanted more siblings before but maybe it would be easier if there were more of us. I don’t know. I guess nothing would make this easier.

6. Changed my antidepressant and I think I like it better but now I can’t sleep….hence my sitting here blogging while the rest of the family is asleep.  Of course before I was complaining that it made me too sleepy and hell, we can’t have everything, now can we?

7. Might be a frost tonight….I covered my bleeding hearts and my sugar snap peas and pole beans.  Well, actually I got anxious about the whole thing, Ernie is the one that dug out sheets and blankets and actually did the work….

8.  Maybe I’ll try to go to bed now.

9.  Thanks for being here little blog.

10.  Here’s a picture of some of my sweet woodruff:

  1. Pictures pop great against the black, but I can’t tell if those are gingko leaves or guitar picks at the top.

  2. I’m not a big fan of white-on-black color schemes for web pages. However, if you’re going to do it, I think it definitely makes the pictures stand out.

  3. I like the dark color as background. It’s not really black–more charcoal. Maybe try a slightly lighter grey color? It definitely enhances the photos though.

  4. I wish I could give you some of my vacation time. My promotion means I accrue even more vacation each pay period, however, it also means I have so much responsibility it is difficult to take too much time off.
    *sigh*
    Save the date – Soul Asylum at Lincoln Park Zoo on August 22.

  5. Don’t you love sweet woodruff? I have some in a shady spot under a rhodie, and it makes me so happy whenever I see it. Mine has tiny white blossoms just ready to burst, too.

  6. Like the dark background for the pics; a little hard to read the white on black though. Could just be me?!
