random thoughts from monday night

(hawaiian flags and icicle lights at dusk)

I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.

Day 12 of the new year and I am caught up on my bookkeeping. I'm doing a little bit almost daily. Beats the days when I would sit down in February or March and do the whole year at once--the previous year.

I am so looking forward to our trip to Hawaii in May-June. I have been too long away from the islands. Whenever I go there, someone thinks I am a local. That's a huge compliment in my book.

It's raining. 100% chance for the next several days. It is winter, after all. Better than ice and snow--and freezing rain. However...see above.

Sent in my Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes entry and bought lottery tickets. May the Force be with me...and also with you.

I've been going for a walk three days in a row now. If you go to www.mapmyrun.com you can put your runs, hikes, bike rides, or walks on a map. It will tell you how long the trip is, as well as how many calories you burn. You can also see the elevation gain and loss. My current route is 1 mile. Perfect.

Trying to decide whether my favorite dessert is red velvet cake or boca negra (dense brownie type cake with vanilla ice cream and salt caramel topping). Perhaps I will have to try both again before I can decide.
