Have you ever listened to This I Believe on NPR? Listeners write essays about what they believe and if your essay is chosen you get to read it on the air. If I were ever to submit an essay for this segment, I might write about my father's favorite saying: this too shall pass. I know it is trite and cliché, but whenever life is being crappy, I think of my dad saying, "Tricia, this too shall pass," and that really calms me down.
While we were cleaning up my basement, "this too shall pass" was my mantra.
Scot Haney is calling for periods of heavy rain throughout the day tomorrow and into Wednesday. Normally rain in the forecast wouldn't bother me except I'd rather my basement didn't fill with 4 inches of water again.
Scot, I love you, why must you torture me so?
In other news, I’ve been foolish enough to tell yet another coworker about my blog. Tom did not demand his own section, but since he does come out with amusing quotes on a fairly consistent basis, I’ve decided he deserves his own section on the sidebar. I hope that “Tom’s Tirades” will keep you entertained. (I had thought of calling it “Terribly Tom,” but that sounds dumb.) Now Tom, you’d better start commenting on my blog instead of just lurking, aight?
I may also add a “special guest star” section to the sidebar, just for other random things that people say that I find entertaining. Don’t worry, folks; it’s not becoming the Muppet Show just yet. Although Theresa and Joe are sort of like Waldorf and Statler, as they do enjoy heckling me from time to time…
I apologize for this entry being a bit disjointed, but I hadn’t planned to write anything tonight at all. I still haven’t done this week’s assignment for my writing class. We must write a scene with a beginning, middle, and end, using dialogue and description, and at the end of the scene one character must have some sort of epiphany.
This is due Wednesday and I am still not sure what I’ll write about. Yowzah. Wish me luck. Anyone have a good idea for an ephiphany?

Hmm, the sidebar is looking a little crowded, guys. I might have to just make one "quote of the day" section. That, or you can all get your own blogs!!!
Tom the Terrible here. It's about time that I have a forum for my diatribes. Joe, don't hate the player - hate the game. As for the sidebar being too crowded, perhaps you should have thought about that before you unleashed me. I think your scene should be about Elijah Wood finally realizing / admitting he likes boys.

Funny Trish, would never have thought that a writing assignment would require a beginning, a middle and, wait for it, an end. I'm glad you've graduated beyond phrases.
When I and the guy I roomed with used to show up at parties, we occasionally got the Statler and Waldorf moniker, due to our mind-meld sense of humor.
I haven't told any coworkers about my blog, but by posting on a blog to which a coworker submits articles, I may have provided a link to my secret stash of words. She might have to scroll down to the more work-oriented entries, so I shall just have to post a ton of pieces and push it off the front page.
