| Greetings! Lots of random things running through my brain. So, this week, I bring you another Thirteen Random Things about This week 1. There was snow this week on Haleakala! It happens every couple of years or so. We’ve had a couple of different weather systems smash into each other, and it has resulted in lots of rain this week on Maui, and some sleet and snow up at the top of Haleakala. Crazy weather week. 2. I remember when preparing my taxes was so easy. One income. One form. Now, being self-employed, dabbling in stocks, being married. Life will never be so simple again. GEEZ! How many forms does one person have to fill out?? Next year, we are hiring someone to do this. 3. I had plans to surprise Sweetie with tickets for a show in Maui this week. But, thanks to the fact that he told me yesterday he has to fly to Oahu to work, I had to spill part of the beans and tell him I already purchased tickets. Hopefully he will be able to fly back in time. 4. Lost starts again tonight!! Wow. Finally. I’d be excited if the darn writers strike didn’t result in a truncated season. 5. I am trying to finish books this year. I am currently tearing through “Destructive Emotions.” Part of the Mind and Life Series with the Dalai Lama. I am also almost done with “Many Waters.” I am hoping to blog about the books I finish this year. Don’t get too excited. It will still be slow going. 6. Sweetie and I are tearing through Twin Peaks, Season 2 episodes. Creepy goodness. Yum! 7. We are also still making our ways through Star Trek, Season 1. I am happy to continue my Red Shirt Death research. 8. I know it is horrible to quote out of context........but......my Sweetie asked me this week “You’re just waiting for this marriage to fail, aren’t you?” (something like that) Someday, I’ll have to explain the context. Could be funny. Could be sad. I’m still trying to figure it out myself. 9. I’m contemplating buying a new laptop. Would be nice to have a non-crashing, non-sun-hot computer to work on. 10. Sometimes I really really hate the drivers in Maui. Really. 11. We will be watching the Super Bowl with some friends at their house. Should be fun, and I’m happy to root for their team (Patriots) because I really didn’t care one way or the other. If they are going to open up their home and host a bunch of friends, the least I can do is join in the spirit. 12. I hate bagless vacuum cleaners. 13. My CD player still loves me. |
