I heard some inspiring words yesterday It's a little paraphrased and idk the speaker's name. But this is it:  "Do not wait for the skill to start a project, the project will teach you the skill. Do not wait for the confidence to seek the job, the job will give you the confidence." - Lisa

A Trip to Pick N Save

I really didn't want to go to the store tonight but we really needed a couple things to start the week tomorrow. It was a fun visit. 

The homeless dude I chat with when I see him (sadly, I don't know his name) told me about cheesecake being on an amazing sale when I got there. I looked for it but didn't find. Then in the soda aisle, was none other than Milwaukee's John 'the Milverine' Hamann.

 I said hey, and he complimented my outfit as we exchanged pleasantries. I said I'd see him on Facebook, but I guess he's not on there anymore. 

As I left, I teased the homeless dude that he must have got the last cheesecake, none were left. He told me to take his and was handing me it. I, of course, told him to enjoy it. It all kinda felt like I was in a dream...and the uniqueness of the store run reminded me why I love my city so much.  - Lisa

Benson Boone

Benson Boone's lyrics to Beautiful Things are just...relatable.  Enjoying that song lately, anyone else? - Lisa

For a while there, it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers
I recall

And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think I might have it all

And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me
He can take away

And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you

Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mm

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh
Please don't take

I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great
Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?

Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I'm up at night thinkin'
I just might lose it all

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got

On Converse

Karen rant: has anyone noticed how terribly made Converse are nowadays? Back in the day you could have a pair of Converse for years. Now they fall apart within 6 months, sometimes quicker! It's getting ridiculous! - Lisa
