Lazy me. Another quote. I’ve always loved this one though.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

From my Just for today calendar – August 23rd (I want to make my own of these by the way…better really start collecting my thoughts I suppose):

I will make a concrete step toward resolving a situation I’ve been uncomfortable with.

Hmmm. That’s usually a good idea, huh? I’ll have to think about it.

Little situation right now – arguing and ignoring because of a snooze button disagreement. Jeez. People are weird and so goofy and bizarre at times and yes, I am including myself in this. (Goofy and bizarre are under thesaurus listing for ridiculous - I like them better than ridiculous - sound a little more quirky and nice)

1. Pet Peeves: talking on cell phones in restaurants, not pulling into intersection when making left turn at light, snoring (can that be a pet peeve?)
2. Favorite Sounds: crickets (or katydids or cicadas – whatever that wonderful summer sound is), rain starting slow, then pouring, and then mingling with thunder, ocean waves crashing in
3. Biggest Fears: being alone, not being successful, drowning
4. Biggest Challenges: letting go of fears, having confidence in creativity, trusting
5. Favorite Stores: used bookstores, half.com (even though it’s not really a store), AC Moore
6. Most Used Words: soooo, dude (recently), why
7. Favorite Pizza Toppings: ricotta, black olives, onions
8. Favorite Cartoon Characters: Woody Woodpecker, Shaggy, George Jetson

10. Favorite Fruits & Vegetables: pineapples, strawberries (especially covered in chocolate), blueberries, celery, baby spinach, sweet corn

I stole that from Allison at Cornelian Cherry. Thanks!

Found the new nickel in my pile of change. At first I thought it was a foreign coin and got all excited like a big dork. But, just a nickel. I don’t know if I dig the new design. Something isn’t working for me. I like the whole ocean thing, but overall…. I don’t know.

I guess in the big picture though, my liking or disliking the design of the new US nickel isn’t really all that important. Ha.
