five thousand shades of blue

It feels like it's been a long time since I wrote anything remotely meaningful here. Yeay to all the good folks who donated to the Blogger server fund and carried the load for a poor sap like me, who doesn't have the cash to spare these days. :P
Looks like I've been in a fistfight. I've got band-aids on my thumb and knuckle. :)
Spent the weekend making a birthday gift for a friend whose birthday was before Christmas. Oops. I hope she'll think the delay was worth it. Feels like the weekends are over before they've really begun. I hate feeling like I have no control over the direction my days go. They're just over in a flash, more of the same tomorrow. I have to laugh when I hear teens saying they can't wait to be adults so they can do whatever they want. Kids, it's a myth. You never get to do "whatever you want". Unless you manage to strike it rich in some way or another. Take it from me. Lottery odds are just not that good.
Still having dreamy thoughts of last night's dinner. That wonderful Moroccan dish that we had for Christmas, Marian had enough leftover components that she made it again for dinner last night. Twice in a two week period. So much for
losing weight.
The weather turned decidedly January-like again over the weekend, which is a good thing in lots of ways, but of course this now means that I have to plant my new barberry bush in the cold. Prickly sucker, which is the point. Planting it in front of a first floor window to deter those who would think of coming in.
...feeling a general sense of annoyance for wanna-be designers who take whatever they want from other sites. There's a special place in Hell for plagiarists.
is
this just not enough…?
