Every single day I think of things I could write about and every single day I don’t get around to blogging.  Yesterday was Rick’s birthday. I gave him two tickets to the Eagles concert coming to Tampa at the end of January.  It felt odd to comit to something in the year 2009 already, but it’ll be a nice thing to look forward to for both of us now. 

And what did Rick do on his birthday? HE worked. Poor guy.  However, at the end of the month now things are insane.  Sadly it is mostly due to foreclosures and people who need to be out by the end of the month.  I suppose his job is somewhat recession proof, but it’s sad that it’s for these reasons.  I do find it odd that so many people can’t pay their mortgage but have the large sum’s of money to hire movers. 

After he came home I took him out to dinner at one of our favorite places in our new neighborhood.  The St Petersburg Ale house.  I love that place because of the sports and noise.  It’s never dull there and their food is pretty good. 

After a late dinner we went to see our nephew Matthew last night.  He’s 18 months old now and he’s hilarious.  He walks around smelling everything.  I have no idea why but after he sniffs he either goes “mmm” like it smelled good or scrunches his nose like it smelled bad.  He did not talk at ALL.  Strange.  He climbed into my lap and was smelling my hair..picking up big chunks and sniffing in going “mmmm” and of course I cracked up laughing so he pulls my shirt away from my chest and sniffs and goes “mmmm”  and Rick says “I know buddy I know….it’s good stuff in there!”   It was hilarious…but perhaps you had to be there.  I was rather bummed that I forgot to grab my camera because he was certainly making some cute faces for sure.

I just finished my Creative Writing course and think I scored another perfect A.  I’m finishing an Intro to Psychology class and then it’s onto another Literature class and I will be done in mid February finishing up with an Environment (go green) type of class.

Most of what I think about writing is far more interesting than the things I write down.   But lately life is sweet and I don’t feel the need to write at all. I’m too busy enjoying the day to day act of being in the now.  Most often I think about writing about things that happened yesterday and when yesterday is gone I’m more concerned with living in today away from the computer as much as both work and school will allow for.
