My job tends to be a drain on me. All I want to do when I can finally shut down my work is drink. Anything to try to kill the braincells I have accumulated during the day. I only wish when I drank I could pinpoint which braincells to kill. […]

This time last week (well, almost, it was actually Friday morning) I was driving up 75 in Florida. I’m staring to have great nostalgia when I go back to the southeast, since it’s been almost 10 years since I left, and I don’t go back as often now. As I […]

I took this picture when I was walking Milo on the trail Friday morning — I wondered if these were blueberries or not. Fast forward to Monday, March 27th — I just now realized I took this picture and posted it. Friday was such a whirlwind of a day at […]

A month or two ago, the boyfriend and I went to see Walk the Line. Very good movie, I recommend picking it up if you haven’t seen it, even if you don’t care for Cash’s music. The theater was pretty packed that evening, and something happened that I found very […]

That’s the question I ask every time I pass the Transamerica Building. I’m always on foot when I pass it, so it’s not like I’m seeing it in the skyline and wondering what the hell it is – it’s more of an “Ooooh! Landmark!”. Yesterday was a rainy, cold day […]

I had blood drawn last Thursday. At the time, I thought the doctor did a terrific job — it took a split second, he didn’t beat on my veins like some of the nurses do, it was over in a flash. Thursday my arm hurt; Friday my arm hurt; Saturday […]

While departing for our weekend got off to a rocky start (not going to focus on that) and ended with a somewhat rocky departure (also not going to focus on that), what was in between was a fun, fun time. This weekend was the annual Barrel Tasting weekend in the […]

I was walking back from the park today when 3 bikers passed by me. The first two were a boy and an older guy (not sure if this was dad, uncle, big brother). About 2 or 3 seconds later a girl came following behind. All were driving somewhat erratically, expecially […]

Not as cold as Kansas, but still, it’s quite chilly — 30s and 40s. It’s California kold (cold for us, but not really in the scheme of things, hence the “k” — fake cold 🙂 a new courtney-ism). It was quite funny to hear all the weather reporters talk about […]
