Everybody's Going Off The Deep End

If there is anyone in the world that is working for the weekend, today it is no one more than me. I have been a day ahead all week, thinking on Tuesday that it was really Wednesday, and had to disappointedly find out that there was still another day to my workweek. But we have really made it to Friday and I am beyond ecstatic there are only four more hours until our weekend begins. (Don’t think I am not planning on sneaking out of here early today.)

So today is just random tidbits that don’t seem to really fit anywhere, so I thought I would string them together for some entertainment today.

In my old age, I have gone crazy. Yes, I will admit that I was a little eccentric before, but things have gotten worse. I thought by the time I was twenty-seven I was pretty secure on knowing who I am, and what I like and don’t like. But that all changed when I suggested a Chinese dinner for my birthday. Not overly fond of the Pan-Asian cuisine, everyone, including myself, was surprised by my choice.

I am in bed these days long before the clock hits single digits, and I hate to even mention that The Beatles have only barely cracked the Top 25 Most Played Songs list on my ipod.

I am hoping all of this is just a phase, that I will once again be out of my sweatpants wearing, sleeping before midnight, up before my alarm, rice eating, non Beatles listening, colour wearing, quasi morning person phase, and back to my real life, because this new person is a little too much for even me to handle.

Yesterday was our Gone With The Wind book club. I am surprisingly staying caught up with the reading, and in fact trying to keep a little bit ahead of it. I am not overly enjoying the book; I still can’t take all of the long detailed passages (surprising, I know. Have you ever heard me tell a story?) but I am, astonishingly, sympathetic to Scarlet. After all, I am writing the book We Didn’t Date, But We Sure Brokeup. It is great to see that this, for reason’s unknown, seems to be a timeless problem, and whether you spend all you time at a BBQ or Break the Fast flirting with everyone to make others jealous, it is the same.

In unrelated news, yesterday I put $60.00 of gas in my car it ended up being a little bit under full. I only mention this and our $1.31/litre gas prices because I know in a couple of months, we will read this, laugh and wish for the days when we were paying so little for gas. I am coming to realize that I hate recessions, inflation and poor economics.

Thankful for:

Paydays
Possible Haircuts
Unscheduled Saturdays
Hot dogs
Sleeping in
Casual Fridays
Some Sun
All That I Have
And of course, you

As Always,
