Bus Break!

Ahhh...I needed that! Even with only 4 minutes & 37 seconds a refreshing swing breaks the driving monotony and introduced me to some budding photographers (pictured swinging). Indeed the best part about driving (and life) is recess!

A Tribute...

See Jeddadiary at www.JeddadiahJambalaya.com

"I almost got stuck in your bathroom!" is what I was about to tell the hotel attendants, but since they were busy I'll text go@blogger.com & tell U. I just experienced my first automated soap dispenser. Combined with the auto-flush toilet, laser-induced sink water, and automatic towel dispenser I instinctively reached for the door expecting it to open on its own. I waved my hand in front of it, yet no movement ensued. I looked for the laser unsuccessfully & finally accepted my fate: I would have to turn the handle on my own in order to exit...

The deadline arrives: Tuesday Taxcut

Tax time creates some quality entertainment at post offices. Salt Lake City's Downtown office is no different and I'm enjoying observing these amazingly relaxed last minute filers. I've been in their shoes frantically calculating my refund (or payment) to beat the midnight deadline. This year though I got on it early and promptly filed yesterday afternoon!

New 2008 Goal!

I'm creating a new goal for 2008--Make enough money to not qualify for earned income credit (a.k.a. my welfare check). I almost made it this year, but missed it by a hair (a few actually--97.14). This should be amazingly easy considering the amazingly low cutoff of 12,590, yet this is a part of Jedd's life he hasn't fully figured out. But rest assured he will! In fact I really have millions this very moment safely stored in other peoples bank accounts--perhaps yours?! Once I create something valuable enough, you'll share!


Update!!! HR Block just informed me...

"The amount of your Earned Income Credit is $0."

Woo Hoo--No Welfare Check & my quickest goal ever accomplished! On to the next goal: Your bank account!

Ere the sun goes down...

I'm watching the sunset from the Moran/Primary Children's walkway after an interesting hike up behind the hospital area. First I ran into a flattened spot where, in the fall of 2006, a friend and I discovered a tent setup quite cozily in the canyon. I hiked up further today and discovered a similar setup. This time I asked if anyone was home cuz I wanted to share my Miner's Lettuce discovery, yet since noone was home I left a tasty lettuce leaf on the doorstep with a note. Hopefully its enjoyed!
Thx 4 the sunset 2gether.

Spontaneous Porch Swings

So I grab a clean-wipe as I walk into Smiths and head for the trail mix. I make it 3 or 4 isles and eye an inviting porch swing. I try to resist the urge, but being on break the offer is even more inviting and I relent. Hence, here I sit (a few hours ago) swinging softly, entertaining random thoughts like 'Would blogging be so big if we (i.e. me) had a living breathing journal (i.e. a good woman) to share spontaneous porch swings, random thoughts, and life?' Hmmm...either way, the story would be better.
