Outtakes from an ordinary life: Post 201
http://patikiwaka.blogspot.com/2015/06/post-201.html
Outtakes from an ordinary life. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Welcome to the first of the third 100 posts on this blog. In some circles, I feel like I'm an anomaly for consistently writing a blog. There is a vibe that blogs aren't trendy anymore- it's all about 140 characters and hashtags. But in truth, I really just don't care what the trend is anymore. Well, duh. It's almost midnight. Go to bed! Anyway, that is life at the moment. And now, I will go to bed because it certainly can't hurt. The good old days.

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Apples. So many kinds of apples. Envy, Pinata, Jazz, Opal, Sweetango, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia. The wildlife that has no sense of boundaries, including Aeon the turkey, the deer daycare, Mary, Sue, and Coleman, and the squirrels (including the black ones). The Bloomfield Hills Clan, 2, 4, 6, 8, 13, 20, and the parents. The Renegades (especially Brian). Actual diversity, as much as it sometimes drives me crazy (can't we all just get along?

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Monday, August 10, 2015. In case you wondered, you shouldn't leave out the egg when mixing a brownie mix. Especially a Ghirardelli brownie mix. On the scale of tragic kitchen disasters, it's at least an 8. On the bright side, I may have figured out how to make brownie brittle. Yes, that's a thing). Also, it isn't as bad as broiled chocolate chip cookies. (Who puts the oven dial on broil? Anyone want to trade me some brownies for a few silver linings? I saw a sign.

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. It's the small things. It's the weird traffic things that you don't have to do anymore. It's the differences in scenery. Having to use quarters instead of a laundry card. Hanging hangers up like a normal human being. New brands at the store. Missing brands at the store. No guest parking at your apartment building. Forgetting that the place that used to be 5 hours away is now 20 hours away. Mixing up the zip code. The good old days. It's an interes...

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. There are certain questions that I just hate being asked. At the top of the list? What are your hobbies? Easy question, right? I know it should be. I mean, what's a hobby? That thing you do in your spare time, what you do for fun, how you enjoy yourself while finding personal fulfillment, and things you are good at, yeah? Um, let's see.I like to read? I'm not saying they are overachievers. Compared to me, they are, but I don't think we shoul...

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. There IS such a thing as too early. Dear World (particularly the capitalist one),. I went to the store yesterday, December 30th. As expected, there was the section of the store full of clearance Christmas items (particularly useful discovery - by December 30th, there isn't much that I can convincingly justify purchasing, so I need to never shop until 5 days after Christmas), and I enjoyed the last remnants of red and green and silver. But if y...

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Friday, August 29, 2014. And away I go. Tomorrow I am going on a trip. A road trip, all the way around Lake Erie. I will be able to check off all the great lakes in Great Lake Bingo, go to Niagara Falls, spend real time in Canada, and actually go on a trip that isn't to see family. A trip just to go on a trip! Not that I don't love my family). And right when I can use a break from everything. It's gonna be a great weekend. Sunday, August 24, 2014. A bad case of the meh's.

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Insert theme song here]. You've probably filled out those "getting to know you" questionnaires, where they ask questions like, "If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why? Anyway, one of the questions I've seen on those is, "If you had a superpower, what would it be? Like my nephew's amazing hugging skills. A totally different, yet somewhat more interesting questions. If I were choosing my superpower, it would be one of the following:.

Outtakes from an ordinary life. Saturday, January 31, 2015. The Universe's Suggestion Box. Please leave us feedback about your experience. Management, The Universe. I could use 'commercial breaks'.

Thanks. An FAQ page. And make your contact info easy to find. Thursday, January 22, 2015. But due to certain situat...
