Quick hits

A few thoughts, then I've got to get moving. It's 9:30 a.m. and I'm still in my jammies!

* My run at the Chronicle seems to be through. Again. For now. It was kind of nice while it lasted. The biggest downside was that I had to say bye to all my friends again.Yep. I'm a sentimental fool. Of course, this time it didn't sting quite so bad. I'll probably be back again at some point. LOL

* I haven't talked to any famous people this week. Ah, well. There's always next week, right? ;)

* I'm finally gonna get my hair did today. My sister makes me look so good! This will be the first time Rhonda's done it since she did my hair in Germany. That wasn't my last haircut, of course, but I can't wait for her to do it again.

* Robb gave me tulips a few days ago. They're starting to wilt. I've been staring at them all morning. I keep thinking how pretty they look even though they're dying. The stallks are still green, the flowers are still pink and yellow, and the blooms are in tact. They're just drooping. I don't think I've ever paid much attention to tulips before. They're dying gracefully. They're stll beautiful. I almost want to cry.

* I think I'm going to renew my commitment to writing that book. The stories just keep coming up in conversation with different people. I'm retelling anyway, might as well put them on paper. Plus I've been out of work two months and it occurs to me that if I had written on it a little every day, I would have a big chunk of it done by now. Perhaps I will start making that the first thing I do in the mornings after I get Catie off to school.

* Which means I better get moving now, huh? Later taters.
