sugar and spice and everything groovy

My red watch was where I left it.  Can’t figure out how it escaped my sight for a week.  Went to the eye doctor the other day and she told me I have limited depth perception.  Total news to me!  Now I keep trying to determine if what I see with one eye is the same as I see with both.  The answer is not clear.  Let me check with my Magic Eighball.  Magic Eightball says Signs Point to Yes.  I guess the eye doctor was right.

Also I did some research and others are also reporting that Drag and Drop seems to be broken in Chrome.  So odd.

Still no clue where my dang chapstick is.  I did find a really old tub of Carmex.  It was kinda hardened but I still used it but it didn’t help.  I checked all my pockets… I am thinking it may be time to just buy a new tube.

It’s absolutely beautiful outside.  Feels like SPRING!  I want to go and play.

First I need to sort my socks.

Why can I no longer highlight a word, left click it and then drop it where I want it?  I used to do that all day long and suddenly that ability stopped.  Or at least in Chrome it stopped. 

Why is it when I am in Internet Explorer (a rarity) everytime I click to execute a task, I hear a little “ding” noise?  I can’t figure out how to turn it off and it’s ueber annoying.

Why do I keep misplacing my chapstick? 

Where is my favorite red watch?  It’s disappeared and it’s giving me heart palpitations! 

And a tip, don’t sort your socks.  Keep them in a huge mess in your sock drawer.  It becomes a little early morning puzzle to find two that match… and the emptier the drawer becomes, the more rewarding it is when you do finally find two that match.  The downside it I often look like early-Cyndi Lauper because I give up rather easily… but it’s still a fun challenge.

I took my motorcycle license learning permit last week… and passed. Yeah, I was pretty incredulous too. I didn’t study other than on the ride over. Over the weekend I signed up for safety/driving lessons at the local Harley shop. The classes start in April. Last night Lisa asked me to meet her at the local Harley shop because they were having a rally for women. It was called a Garage Party. Images of barrels full of flames, motorcycles, people engaged in illicit behavior ran through my mind… mainly because that’s how Lisa described it to me. She even said she felt very strongly there would be a big man there named Tiny. I arrived at the showroom a little late. I asked about the rally and the salesman showed me to a backroom where there was a seminar going on. Lisa and Laura were sitting in the back guarding the cooler of beer they brought with them. Turns out hors devours were provided along with mini-bottles of water. The room was full of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Some could have been even older than that. The older women had their hair shingled in the back and they wore vests full of motorcycle patches. But most of the women were newbies. I can’t quite say what I learned from the evening other than never cut my hair too short.

I will say I was pretty surprised at the price of motorcycles. For some odd reason I thought they would be really expensive like 25K or more. Most were around 5-10K which struck me as being rather affordable. I have no intention of buying a motorcycle. I just want the experience of learning to ride one.
