[Time passes]

Time has passed, cuing that scene in the Harry Potter movies where the seasons change from fall to winter to spring with nothing of significance happening in the plot except Hedwig flying across the courtyard. Only in our plot, loads has happened, which accounts for the blog hiatus. I’ve thought about writing many times, but never got around to actually posting. I have a few things I want to write about, but I’ll ease myself in with hit list.
• I wonder how much environmental impact it would have if we started doing little things like not using straws and using mugs instead of paper cups at work.
• Indiana Jones was amusing but definitely not a big-screen must. If you haven’t seen Iron Man, see it. Robert Downey Jr. was made for this.
• I’ve been watching a lot of home design shows. This has two effects: 1. I want a house more than ever and 2. I am increasingly unhappy with how the apartment looks. I can save you hours, days, weeks and even months of watching HGTV by giving you The Secret to all these shows. The Secret is ...ready?... get rid of the clutter. It’s true. Watch any design show. Even if you don’t like the style of the new room, it looks a million times better than the original because there is simply less crud messing it up. Use this knowledge wisely. It may have cost me dearly to divulge it to you. Design on a Dime probably just put a hit out on me.
• Things I love today: photo booth pictures, walks in the woods, birds (especially owls), rainy days at the end of August, grass under my bare feet and mom’s Shredded Wheat bread.
