Just want to break the silence to say that work might just bury me.

This blog is just waiting for the right shoe. I have been using any second of free time to pour through wordpress themes to find one that I can modify to suit my needs. There is no way in h-e-double hockey sticks that I can make my own theme from scratch.

I think the last time I went through this (should I just look in the archives?) I caved and hired someone to make me a theme. I can’t do that now. There is a recession going on people! And I got a wedding to save for.

So really, I guess the purpose of this post is to say I know this site looks as awkward as a 13-year old in a tube top with blue eye shadow, but until I can find some time to sit down and do open heart surgery, this is going to have to do.

I am in need of some personal time. Even if I haven’t been sitting in my cubicle all night, I can’t stop thinking about it. There is nothing worse than working a whole weekend to just have to go back in to a still incomplete job.

Just get me off this crazy thing!

Today a friend passed. Eric has known this family for much much longer than I have. I know that this is hard for him. He loved Mr. D.

And because Eric loved him, I too loved him. He was a part of Eric’s life when Eric was growing up. Eric is the man I love partially because of Mr. D’s influence.

So this loss is duly sad. Because I am not there to be with Eric and because I feel like there is so much more to share with Mr. D and his family.

To love a friend. A man who was somewhat a stranger to me, but who was loved by so many people around me. To love a man who wouldn’t have remained a stranger if there had been one more dinner or one more karaoke night.

Mr. D – I hope you have peace. And may you grow more familiar to me through the memories of your friends and family.

I can’t remember which version goes in front of mantis, but I did have one on my car. As soon as I noticed, I pulled over, took a picture, then gently moved it off my car. I wouldn’t think I would EVER see one of those in the city.

1. Back scratcher.
2. To poke holes in my coffee cup lids to get better flow.
3. To clean out the crumbs between where my two desks come together.
4. To point to things.

Please note, opening letters is not on the list. I have received ONE letter at my job since I started. I have worked here for almost 2 years.
