Welcome to the Grasshopper Park
I’m Missi: an artist, gerontologist, crazy cat lady, LotR and bluegrass obsessed hipster, muslimah, cook, gardener, and adventurer. I like to drink too much coffee and green tea and cuddle with my cat, and I talk about old people more than anyone wants to hear. I like fashion and own too many scarves to count (that’s a lie–I have 43). You can find me by trees and nursing homes, yelling out statistical research about care quality, or sleeping at odd hours with a book still open beside me.
Boomba Hey Missi! Thanks for finding my blog : )
You’re a vegetarian?!
Yep; have been for quite a few months now. I highly enjoy it.
Missi, I have to say that I feel your three major faults are completely inaccurate.
Inaccurate? Fo Sirius?
Yes. Despite what you may think, you are not a heartless machine, too often I see you put other people first, and you always apologise if you accidentally interrupt someone. And then you let them go first.
I have to agree with Noah on this one. Out of all the people I know, you’re one of the warmest and selfless that I’ve ever met. True that sometimes you interrupt others while talking, but how the hell doesn’t? =)
Hi, I’m an older person, retired from Truman some time ago. I just want to let you know that I subscribe to Google’s news alerts for anything about “Kirksville” or “Truman State University.” Quite often our blog shows up in the alerts email message.
I don’t know how much you want to share with the world, but thought you might like to know that Google alerts folks to your blog.
Hope you had a nice break and the rest of the year will fly by quite uneventfully. As to midwinter depression, probably everybody in the bleak Midwest has SAD, seasonal affective disorder . . . the winter blues. ALL of us! Things will turn the corner soon for all of us as the sun peeks out more and more.
Actually, thank you for telling me; I was not aware that it would show up in Google alerts.
And thank goodness for the sun. It has been great to see it over the past couple weeks.
