Oh, hey...

I had a blog in a very private place, but I felt that it was not a good place for me. A lot of behavior of which I do not approve, in spite of there being a lot of very good people there. I have a zero-tolerance policy toward nastiness. I've left a few message boards on account of it. It's childish behavior, to me, and I don't want to be influenced by the negativity of it.

It's been quite some time (for me, anyway)since I did blog anywhere. I do post tidbits of my nutty thoughts/observations, and even some updates on my personal life, on Facebook, but for me, a blog is like a combination of diary, therapy session, and Christmas newsletter. :)It's nice to just ramble, sometimes. Especially when I only have my family and long-distance connections, for now.

Right now, I am back in Malabar, Floriduh - it's a village of less than 4000. All lots are over an acre. Many folks have horses or other livestock. There's a post office, a police station, and a bar. I'm living with my parents, and they are glad to have me, and I am glad to have them. Life is good here.

And we are having quite a thunderstorm! They are common in the county, even the locality, but somehow they usually miss this little "neighborhood." It seems the exception is when they come along very late in the afternoon. This one has been a doozy. My li'l toy spaniel from the PNW has never seen the like, and he is a bit spooked - currently hiding under my chair. Not even barking at the thunder any more.

So, it's a Friday afternoon. I have only one assignment left in my current online university class (Intermediate Accounting I): a 7-10 page term paper. I have until midnight Monday to submit it. I'm burned out on study/homework right now - it's been more intense than previous classes. I could use some diversion/fun. Or just serious goofing off. Whatever. But I'm not adventurous enough to head out to a bar or something all alone. So, I will blog, listen to tunes, etc. Maybe find a friend to call. I dunno.

But, this sure beats being all alone (except for my dog)in the PNW. For sure.
