Notes From All Over

::You'll be sorry to know (and quite shocked, I'm sure) that I didn't win the lottery. I'm not 100% sure, as I don't really know how to play the lottery, but I typed in all 105 sets of numbers and found no matches. (Thankfully, I don't have much of a life this Saturday night and if there's one thing several years of banking has gotten me, it's that I'm PDQ with a 10-key, so there wasn't much time wasted figuring that out. Time is money, and I wouldn't want to throw good money after bad.)

::If you talk to someone about the goodness of Nutella, so much so that your are craving it and decide to look for it in the newly expanded grocery section of your local Target, and finding none, you decide that All-natural Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter will be a serviceable substitute, you will be drooling the drool of regret into the pillow of remorse. No dice, my friend. No. Dice.

::July proved to be a tough month for me in several ways. We (royally speaking, natch.) are off to a better start in August. Maybe I'm just easily amused, but life is funny to me.

::Where will you be December Ninth in the Two-Thousand Sixth Year of Our Lord? Speak for yourself, for I intend to be standing (sweating and probably near passed out) at the finish-line of the Rocket City Marathon. Details forthcoming. I feel like if I could run 26.2 miles, I could do anything, but I actually have more challenging goals than that in mind these days, too. We shall see.

::There's a fine-line between self-confidence and self-absorption. There's a place where the presumed need of self-confidence is really the need for less self-centeredness. I'm looking for the balance. It eludes me.
