Notes from the quirky life of a practicing contemplative (emphasis on "practicing"), teacher, learner, auntie, weirdo, and dog mama. Title quote from "Aurora Leigh" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

stream of consciousness while looking at potential places to rent
Yikes. I don't know about this one. Well, what do you expect in your price range? At least this is in a separate building, not part of someone's house...Hello, are you the landlord? Oh, he's over there? I wonder if that's him walking to his car - which looks pretty nice, by the way...yep, that's him...oh how nice, he'll show me the place now, he's going to get the key...my hair's all greasy under this bandanna, hopefully he won't notice or care...oh good lord, Kerri, you're not even wearing a bra!...oh, this unit is actually nice inside, definitely a possibility...thank you for the unexpected showing (and you're welcome, ha ha)...now to this apt. nearby - hey, I found it, a miracle...peace back at ya', dude...those places look pretty nice...and peace dude and this lady with the baby stroller make it look like a nice neighborhood, but is it quiet?... I want to be as far away from multi-unit apartment living as possible, too; I'll have to think about it...where's this other place?...I see 1202 but where's 1203?! It goes from 1202 to 1218 and they're shops, not residences! I'll turn around here and check...yep, no 1203, where is- oh, duh, it's on the other side of the street - oh, whoops, sorry about that, guy behind me, no parking here, huh? I'll just turn around...oh look, this place has handy shopping carts sitting on the grass out front...maybe I'll skip this place...yep, that overgrown alley confirms it, not looking further here...too bad, it's so close to my favorite bookstore....oh my word, I'm also wearing capri sweats with bleach spots and a hole in them, and below the hems I obviously need to shave! If that 1st guy still rents to me is that a good thing?...heading back home...yes, I'm going the right way because this street heads east one-way...and I wanted to go east...no, dang it, I live WEST of here! Grr...

how to: get revenge on your housemates
When a housemate throws away the cereal you just bought and claims she thought it was old, try giving her food away to the local food bank or something similar. "Oh, were you going to eat that? Gee, I'm sorry..."
I made these guys up in high school during some class - good to see that private education didn't go to waste. I've been wanting to develop whatever artistic tendencies I have, so I thought I'd try this. Many thanks to http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ for the idea to use illustrations in my posts. Also, many apologies to http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ for even remotely connecting our blogs in any way. You have a tremendous gift!
