What's for dinner?

This is what's for dinner: veggie nachos made with fresh green onions and jalapeno peppers, mushrooms, sliced grape tomatoes, black olives, cheese, and tortilla chips. It took me about twenty minutes to cut up all the vegetables and fifty-nine seconds in the microwave to heat the nachos. Along with a side of mild salsa, the nachos made a good, tasty, and filling meal.

Yummy!!

Try outrunning this...

I got off work at 4:30, right when the thunderstorm warning was announced. As I walked home, dark clouds were approaching behind me and they seemed to be gaining speed.

I was making good time, I seemed to be a step ahead of the storm, even though the wind was picking up and the temperatures were dropping.

As I was approaching home, I felt little drops of rain and heard the distant rumbling of thunder. I was still hoping to outrun this storm coming up on my heels. I finally made it inside, when it started to downpour with hail and heavy wind. The thunder and lightning  was very intense. Good thing I outran this storm and got to watch it from my apartment window.

Happy Father's Day...

Happy Father's Day, Dad!! I miss you!!

Dad and me: September, 1983

Background noise: birds chirping and singing

Return to sender...

I am still getting mail from the previous tenants (I moved to my new digs in March). Most of the mail consists of  credit card bills, cell phone bills, and medical bills. I am bit annoyed and a little mystified by this. I wonder if the people who lived here before me moved to elude the bill collectors. I have been writing "RETURN TO SENDER" on the envelopes and mailing them back, but their bills keep on coming. Friends and family suggested contacting my property manager to see if they have a forwarding address and contacting the post office to stop their mail from being sent.

A fitting song to this post.

Secret Garden

Last Monday I had a stressful day and a stressful bus ride in which I do not want to get into the details. When I got off the bus, I had to de-stress and calm down. I came upon a flower garden that was well tucked away behind a shopping center. It reminded of a tiny flower garden behind the admissions building in college years ago, that I would go to in order to get away from it all. The sight of flowers has a calming effect on me and I could not resist to take pictures.
