Which is why I’m moving. From Princess SP’s blog from some Wallstreet thingy:
“As Frank notes, commuting through congestion is miserable for most of us, whether we’ve been doing it for four months or 40 years, and an assortment of studies shows that commutes (even as short as 15 minutes a day) can have serious and measurable effects on health.”

I HATE commuting.
Friday, March 31st, 2006Winners and losers
Thursday, November 3rd, 2005From: http://www.creators.com/lifestyle_show.cfm?columnsName=ama
Winners don’t say bad things about people, but losers do. Criticizing other people makes losers feel better about themselves. Winners like to make you smile, but losers love to make others sad or angry.
Romance!
Wednesday, October 5th, 2005From: http://www.marsvenus.com/couples/Article.php?id=207
Romance is doing something for your partner that makes them feel special without them having to ask for it.
The first and most important rule of romance: all you have to do is try. Romance is not about “getting it right.” It’s about making an effort. The old saying “It’s the thought that counts” couldn’t be more true when it comes to romance.

When it comes to romance it’s the effort that counts. Not the dollar signs or the number of gifts. So if we could give one piece of advice to men, stop worrying about being perfect and remember it’s the act that counts.
Show your partner that you are paying attention to their needs and listening when they talk about what is important. Romance is truly created when two people are attentive enough to listen and give, without any prompt. And there are countless things you can do.
Begin by taking the time to think about your partner. What makes them smile? And start there. You can’t do it wrong. The simple effort of trying to make your partner feel appreciated and loved by you is enough motivation to get you pointed in the right direction.

Sadly, I would consider this…

From aim convo with friends: funny wedding vows… “to pamper and protect in exchange for all of her modern women’s rights”
Butterfly Invasion!
Monday, April 4th, 2005We were wondering about this, the air was full of these butterflies last Monday… and a coworker was complaining about them being all over her car after driving home that night. It was really pretty though to see the air filled with butterflies absolutely everywhere. And then they were gone.
Article:
Butterfly expert explains painted lady invasion …
Millions of painted lady butterflies invaded central California airspace Monday as a massive migration from the desert began to hit its stride. The insects were coming from their winter grounds on the Mexican border to the Central Valley and foothills, where they will breed.
The butterflies were passing at a rate of about one every 10 seconds, said Arthur Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology, an authority on butterflies.
The insects fly from six to about 12 feet above the ground, rising over obstacles, such as buildings, rather than going around them.
The painted lady winters in the desert along the U.S.-Mexico border and breeds on desert annual plants in late winter. The adults emerge in February or March and immediately take off to the northwest, migrating through the Inyo-Kern area into the Central Valley and foothills. The trip takes roughly three days, because the butterflies hatch with a large supply of yellow fat, which they use as fuel, Shapiro said, noting, “This fat is what makes the yellow splotch on your windshield when you hit one.”
When the fat supply is depleted, generally after reaching the Central Valley, they begin visiting flowers to feed and also begin laying eggs. This year’s migration is probably more conspicuous than usual because heavy winter rains in Death Valley and elsewhere produced a bumper crop of desert plants, Shapiro said. Butterflies resulting from local breeding will hatch in May and migrate, flying north to breed in the Pacific Northwest.
Poem from a friend
Monday, March 28th, 2005Just a time to embrace everyone who matters,
Everywhere, all I hear is mindless and confusing chatter-�
Not sure where to turn, not sure what to do, not sure who to find-�
Not sure how to avoid this torment? How do I fight these demons inside?
Yet, I will tell you, -�Believe in yourself-? and they will all subside.
All the clouds may come and the darkness may spread,
Night and day the raindrops may fall, down upon my head.
Gash they may at my appearance and disrupt my good looks,
Even washing away my tears and hopes-� my faith wont be shook.
Looking at my reflection, I know myself: every cranny and nook.
Overbearing doubts, anguish and fear attack me when I-�m weak,
Fortunately, for every canyon, there is always a fortified peak.
Troubling times happen when love is confusing and undefined-�
How could it be? When there is no connection: body, soul or mind?
Empty and sad is how I feel; despite he is courteous, smart and kind.
Times like this, I may feel trapped in my own secluded shell-�
I will break out, I will persevere, its a matter of time will tell.
My future holds unknown stories and countless ticks of time-�
Every second counts, with various emotions I could even mime-�
Storms may come and storms may go, but the rainbows always shine.
*authors note* reading the first letter of each line reveals a message for you.
It reads, “Jenny – Angel of the Times”
I know the weather sucks sometimes, but there is always sunny days ahead.
Always look ahead, to the next good adventure.
Dont ever give up, cause I havent given up on you. ^_^
~ brought to you by the letter J
Jenny’s note – “the letter J” wrote this at 3am-ish on a rainy night followed by a sunny morning. It continues to amaze me how many of my friends are such talented artists in many different ways. And some of my best poems popped into my head in the middle of the night, but I usually rolled over and went back to sleep or couldn’t read my writing in the morning, so maybe I just think they were my best ones.
