Where have I been?

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 29 Aug 09

So a myLot friend recently sent me this message: "Where are you?" Man, I didn't know those three words could touch me as they did. Having been away from myLot for months, (five or six?), I thought I have moved on from the...

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 6 Apr 09

Last Friday, I decided to have my eyebrows waxed. I have not done that for a while, go to the salon and have someone do it for me. Usually, I just shape them myself and in most cases, when I am always in a hurry. I knew I had...

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 28 Mar 09

Okay, so I wore the pedometer I got last Christmas for the first time yesterday. From 230 in the afternoon and onwards (until 10pm), it showed I had taken 12,937 steps. So take that, 10,000 steps a day! And that was not even all...

Are you expendable?

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 17 Mar 09

Do you ever think that life's machinery would work without your help? In times like now, do you feel or worry you are expendable at work or just life in general?

Where is that Panda on that red car!?!?!?

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 16 Mar 09

Is it just me or does it also take you more than a minute to scroll down and up and find that freaking avatar for this interest when you start a new discussion? It seems like it is intentionally hiding from me every single...

"You Look Familiar"

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 16 Mar 09

So the guy at the register decided to give me a ten percent discount for my purchase (a new pair of jeans!). I did not ask for it but of course, I said "oh wow, you didn't have to" and smilingly thanked him profusely. He,...

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 15 Mar 09

And where do I begin? Ever had one of those "blending in" moments? Last night, Boyfriend and I went and had some pizza at Old Chicago (deep dish!) and I can't help but notice that the red blouse that I was wearing was exactly...

When is done done?

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 12 Mar 09

Seriously. I have told myself so many times that I am done hurting over something. Of course, it has not worked in the last month. So when will this be over? Because, man, it hurts.

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 8 Mar 09

By now, you probably know I enjoy reading signs... random signs, billboard signs, engravings, etc... I always have a chuckle whenever I pass through churches with witty signs. This one I read most recently: "The Best...

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 8 Mar 09

"Please sit here, in the sun, as Sarah did." That has to be my favorite "in memory of" line I've read engraved on a park bench. "This one's for Mary, an ageless mother" and "For Sally who loved all children" are ones that...

I got a letter from the post office yesterday telling me that I don't need to do anything if all the information they listed for me was correct. After that, they included a short paragraph in Spanish. And I assume that next...

Sweet Dreams Until Sunbeams Find You

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 4 Mar 09

I am off to dream(less)land. Where evil trolls or mighty heroes await me. Where I get lost in mazes or I catch the sun's rays by the lake. Where I see a familiar face or none at all. Where I would hold someone's hand and feel...

Orange Juice-ing

SaintAnne @SaintAnne (5453) • United States 3 Mar 09

We do not have an electric juicer so for the first time, I manually "juiced" several oranges. And now I'm enjoying the "fruits" of my labor in a tiny glass. We also have apples in the house but I don't think I'll be trying to...
