Twilight (no, not the book/movie!)

Twilight - The time of day immediately following sunset.

October 2, 2009

I wonder how many times per day I drive up and down the hill here in PG. Too many to count, some days. Anyway, today on one of my trips back UP the hill, I saw the moon rising and it was full and so bright I dashed in the house to get my camera. But since I still don't know what I'm doing camera-wise, I had a hard time getting the moon to show up since it was still light outside. Somehow I managed to get this shot, which makes it look much darker outside than it actually was.


I went and bought new silverware today. One of the many things that make me crazy is things that don't match, and we haven't had enough matching pieces for a while now and I just couldn't take it anymore. I brought 2 setting-for-8 sets into this marriage, we got another as a wedding gift, and got another a few years ago for Christmas. Of the 3 original sets, we were down to 3 or 4 forks in each set, and about the same in spoons. All the knives were still there. Anyway, as I said, I just couldn't take it anymore so I got some new. Things just need to match. Is that too much to ask?


We all have our issues, and I guess that's one of mine. That made me think of the issues of some people I know. For instance, I have a friend who can't allow her food on the plate to touch and she eats it one item at a time, in a clockwise manner. Another friend goes beserk if the toilet paper isn't loaded so it unrolls up over the top. I knew a girl in college who ironed everything, including socks and towels. I know another person who firmly believes there is a right and left sock. So what if I can't eat chicken on bread? Or that I can't shop at Albertson's because the shape of their carts gives me anxiety? That's just good sense, really. The rest of the people are the crazy ones.
