Dry Erase Marker

Pam/ April 4, 2010/ Random Thoughts

Several months ago I wrote myself notes on my bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker. It’s so great! It stands out, comes off easily with a little glass cleaner, and it’s fun to leave inspirational sayings or little reminders. Thinking about this little habit, I thought, “Hmmmm. That’s kind of quirky!” 😉

Badge of Honor

Pam/ March 24, 2010/ Random Thoughts

My next door neighbor is 92 and it comes up in conversation with her. This statement, “I’m 92 and … ” (there is a wide variety of topics with which she fills in the blank), got me thinking about age. Recently I goofed at work. Being the editor of our internal monthly newsletter, I publish the birthdays each issue …

TV

Pam/ March 21, 2010/ Random Thoughts, TV

I’ve been numbing myself with TV lately. I love watching my shows On Demand – no commercials and I can watch them whenever I want to. I usually catch up on the weekends since the week nights are busy. There are some shows I wish Comcast would add to the On Demand menu, just because it’s comfortable to watch TV

Quirky

Pam/ March 19, 2010/ Random Thoughts

A coworker described me as “quirky” this week … as in “Have you ever thought of dating him? I like him and I like you. He’s quirky and you’re quirky.” That’s the first time “quirky” has been the match making criteria (when it has pertained to me as being one of the potential matches – and no, I wasn’t interested).

Motorcycle

The other harbinger of spring came rolling into work yesterday … a motorcycle. You know warmer temps are here when the second shifters ride in on their Harley Davidson motorcycles. Just one, so far. More to come, I’m sure.

The harbinger of spring was spotted in my front yard today. It has been sunny, warmer and there’s a smell of spring in the air. Just sixteen more days until spring officially arrives!

More Aphorisms

Pam/ February 17, 2010/ Blogroll, Fun Stuff, Random Thoughts

I have been telling my “aphorism story” over and over since my experience at the Penny Stamps Lecture last Thursday. Have also been searching out different aphorisms. Here are a few that I ran across today while looking for something completely different/unrelated! Enjoy! ~Besides the noble art of getting things done, master the noble art of leaving things undone. The

New Year’s Resolutions

Pam/ January 10, 2010/ Random Thoughts

I have my own new year’s resolutions (writing this blog is one of them … yikes it’s been a long time) and when talking and reading about new year’s resolutions there seems to be a couple of approaches. First, new year’s resolutions “are cheesy”. That was the declaration from one of my friends at the New Year’s Eve party I

County Farm Park

Pam/ May 19, 2009/ Around Ann Arbor, Random Thoughts

Yesterday I dropped my car off at Select Auto Care for an oil change. While I was waiting, I wandered across the street to the County Farm Park. It’s a nice, quiet piece of land with three walking paths, half a mile, one mile, a mile and a half. The longer path has ‘exercise stations’ along the way. Does anyone
