snails

last night during yoga class, i was trying to figure out how if i work for 8 hours a day, and sleep for 8 hours a night, why do i end up with only a 5 hour evening!?!? where does my other 3 hours go!

this evening went quickly as usual. i joined the melles' for dinner, came home to write my story for hatch, and now it's time to write my entry and start shutting down my body for the night. this issue of hatch is about "hand-made". once again, it was a difficult topic for me, but at the eleventh hour i heard that rach did not write about knitting after all, which opened up the topic for me. i like what i wrote, my only complaint is that it may be too similar to a blog entry. sometimes i can't differentiate the between the two.

at lunch today i did something new that i'd never done before. i joined the united way committee at work. i'm not particularly a joiner. most of my participation has been in church activities. but i've been striving to branch out, and i decided last year at the end of the united way campaign that i would join the committee next time. because why not, right?!?! it will stretch me, and help me mingle with new people around the office. it was a lunch meeting, we had to bring our own food. i was quietly amused because i had left-overs from grecos the other night and sat at the board room table eating pasta and mussels. i like the possibility of making my co-employees wonder "what is she eating?!?!" with my tuberware full of shells. so anyways, i'm not quite sure what my role will be, there were 7 people at the meeting, and two absentees. there were a few moments in which i wondered "what have i gotten myself into?", but i think it will be a good experience, and i'm glad i joined.

i would like to introduce you all the latest blog in the blogosphere. the lovely and bizarre shannon gendron has made her debut entry. pay her a visit, ok?

i believe if we run into red full speed,
then there isn't a blade beneath keen enough to pierce our skins.
