Day 25 Incredulous

Finally Friday!  It was a busy, busy week, and I am tired and ready for the weekend.  Our sunny day turned into a rainy one, although that's no bad turn of events in my book.  I happen to love the rain and grey days.  I have a friend's big birthday celebration in Chicago tomorrow with a Mariachi band and a salsa instructor--fun!--so I'm going to rest up, have the slow-cooked pork roast in chiles and lime that has been simmering away in my crock-pot, and leave you with this drawing of a woman in a a state of disbelief.  Have a great weekend people!

Day 24 Dreaded Weekend Delay Due to Paper Cutter Gone Wild

During college, I worked at a Kinko's Copy Shop.  Ah, yes, Kinko's!  I actually had a lot of fun at that job.  I usually worked the late shift, sleeping until 11, going in at 1 p.m. and getting off in 10 p.m.  A friend at the time worked on a school newspaper, and when she would get off, we would drive 2 hours for a piece of pie or to see a band.  Sometimes we'd get home at 6 a.m., but it was all worth it, driving through that midnight air and darkness with the radio blasting!

I digress!  Anyway, the Kinko's gig was good at the time, but that paper cutter always freaked me out! I always thought I would accidentally stop thinking about what I was doing, and then suddenly cut off all of my fingers.  Luckily that never happened, but to this day, those machines seem to be the penultimate of a potential--unintentional--bloodbath!  Not sure what got me thinking on that train of thought, but here you go.

Day 354. It's the Weekend - Set Your Heart Free!

Oh, people, we had one heck of a week en la oficina.  I'm two glasses of red wine down, and all I can say is, it's finally the weekend, set your heart free!


Here are a few songs to get your ventricles pumping.

"You Gotta Move," Rolling Stones (an all-time sloppy, bluesy favorite)


Here's the Mississippi Fred McDowell original, "You Got To Move." I love the rawness of that guitar and voice:
