changes.

There are some really good and positive changes happening in the coming weeks. There are also some sad changes, but I'm hoping those will turn into something good.

The biggest one is me having to find a new job because my position is being closed at the school district. After over 4 years of working for the same school I'm gonna be moving on. I'm bummed about it, but it's definitely time to move on, even if it's out of my control. Maybe a forced change was needed.

As for everything else, I'm looking forward to seeing SATC2 with Nicci tomorrow afternoon. I'm also looking forward to reading more of A Prayer for Owen Meany and Jesus' Son [which my lovely friend David was kind enough to lend me]. I'm also excited to hang out with my Patty, sit in my pajamas, sleep in on Saturday, play with Fortran, and maybe get my bangs trimmed. Oh and work a bit too of course.

I sprained my ankle the other day in an accident involving four loko & a doorway, so the lazier I am this weekend, the better.

Well off to bed I go now. 430am is gonna come soon enough. Too soon.

noes.

Less than 12 hours ago I went to Stone Brewing Co and got my growler filled with 2010 Old Guardian. It's like 11.7ish%. It's one of their beers I thought I wasn't a fan of until I tried it for a second time [well the 2009].

I've had this beer several times now on tap at Hollingshead and in bottles, but the growler fill has definitely cemented it in my top 5 beers.

It's slow to kick your ass, but it definitely will. And that oak flavor reminds me of my grandma's cedar chest in a good way. Like she would be proud of me for drinking something so awesome because she was rolling her own cigarettes at the age of 5.


I finished the whole 1 liter growler by myself tonight between P's house and my house. And I enjoyed every minute of it.

Sometimes it takes something awesome to make a few crazy days not seem so crazy.

And now I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette, turn off my computer, brush my teeth, and go to bed. Just because.

beerz.

I'm heading to Stone Brewing Co. today to fill up my growler with some yummy goodness. I'm hoping I might luck up and they won't have tapped out on either the Imperial Russian Stout or Saison du Buff they tapped over the weekend. Otherwise I'm sure I'll find something yummy.

Dear LOST...

Thank you for that last shot. It brought the series full circle. The fact that the big questions were answered doesn't even make me mad that there are probably some things I'm still wondering about. I'll miss you a lot, and Tuesday nights are going to be a bit lonelier without you.

Love,

Candice

internetz.

Sometimes I think it might be a really good idea to delete my facebook. And twitter. And all the blogs I have. What's the worst that could happen? People would have to stop being internetz friends and real life friends finally? Is that so hard?

And I'm probably being a hypocrite right now because I'm writing about this in one of my blogs.

Maybe I could keep a blog still...

I'm trying to take the bits of free time I have and spend them at home having quiet nights. This will be the last quiet night until possibly Sunday since the next few days will be full of work, baby shower cupcakes, wedding meetings, gallery openings, and hopefully a few drinks with friends.

So to keep this quiet night especially quiet I'm going to lay in bed, get off the computer, and read a new book I picked up. I haven't been book shopping in forever, and finally I headed to my local Borders earlier this week and picked up A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.

I've been wanting to read this for awhile because I have lyrics from the Jimmy Eat World song "Goodbye Sky Harbor" tattooed on my feet... and thanks to songmeanings.com I realized that this song was inspired by the Irving novel. And since I'm obsessed with that song and want to know more of the meaning behind it, I thought it would be a good read.

Plus I've been trying for so long to get my drive back for reading. It's been awhile since I wanted to curl up in bed with a good book. But as life gets busier and more stressful, I'm finding solace in diving into other peoples lives [even if they are fictional].

And who doesn't love the smell of new books, or old books... or any books for that matter?!

whiskey tears.

So I have a slight obsession with songs about heartbreak & whiskey. It might be the perfect combination [or the most dangerous... oh well].











If you have any other good ones pass them along to me.
