Facebook

That's right. I caved. I joined Facebook this morning. Oh the pressure. My cutie brother has been telling me about it for months, but I didn't listen,he's in college and playing on the net is what he is supposed to be doing. And then yesterday my girls told me that they joined. So today, I decided to be a follower. LOL

Now I am going to spend all fucking day working on my page and getting DIT to take a million pics of me just so that I can find one to post. ROTFLMAO.

Right after I get back from the grocery store. The kid's home and the law says I've got to feed her.

Tired...

It has been a day, but very rewarding. You know that sense of accomplishment after a job well-done? That's what I'm feeling.

Now, time for bed.

Addictions

I'm prepping tonight for a really busy day tomorrow-it will start at 4:30 AM as I get on the road to head upstate for a training. No, I did not want to spend the night in the sticks. Just can't do it. LoL.

Anyway, all day I've been thinking about my favorite things. So, here is my current list:

My Blackberry
My iPod
My laptop
My dvr
Reading
Podcasts about writing
Grey's Anatomy (can't wait for Season 5)
Heroes- the television show (watched the entire two seasons this summer)
Cute skirts

I'm sure there is more, but I don't have the time. I'm off to shower and slumber. 4:30 gets here pretty fast.

Starting Off With A Bang...

This morning I was out the door before 7:30. Yep. Tire had a nail in it, and I wanted to be serviced before noon. LOL. I was in by 7:33 and out by 8:08. And there were six people in line by the time I got there (the tire place opens at 7:30-lol). Anywho, thank goodness my issue was "minor".

From there it was breakfast, furniture shopping (trying to get DIT's room re-done before she returns on Saturday- yes, I have had two months, damn it!), a little self-indulgence (it was the last day of The Limited's 50% off clearance items-only happens twice a year, and I got really lucky- I got a great pair of khaki pants and matching jacket for 40 bucks, and lots and lots of shirts), some mall walking in anticipation of back-to-school shopping, dropped off some bills, and then grabbed lunch at MickeyD's(which I ate in the car and did not enjoy, ugh) and headed home to get started on the J-O-B stuff.

I was in the house a little before one, and immediately booted up the laptop, punched numbers in the Blackberry, and started multi-tasking like a mother. I got more done in two hours than I often do in a day or two.

This week is going to be busy for me. I've got some obligations with my consulting gig, and I have some self-imposed writing deadlines on the personal front. So far, I am definitely on the right track for getting all things completed.

Let's just hope my energy level can hold out. Either way, on Sunday I am having a Diva Day at the Beach with my local girls. From sun up to sun down. It is going to be on. I will definitely need the girl-time/bonding/hair letting down by then.

Holla back and tell me what's on your agenda for the week.

Thought for the week

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

That question has been on my mind all week. What I have realized is that my list gets longer and longer the more I think about it.

Today I Had A Migraine...

it started yesterday, and by last night, was full-blown. I wallowed in the bed most of today, but by 3:30, 4 I could take it no longer. Besides, The Man was getting hungry and we had no food in the house that we could mutually agree upon. LOL

After a long shower and fresh clothes, we headed to Chili's for grub. A short stint in Target, and it was back to the house.

I still have my migraine (to a much lesser degree) but it felt good to get out and about. A few months ago, I would have relished a day in bed, even in pain. Today, all I wanted was the pain to lessen enough for me to get moving. It's amazing how your response to life's events can change when you slow down and begin to live your life a little differently. I used to look at my migraines(when I was getting them a couple times a month) as a sign that I needed to slow down and get some rest, and now, since I haven't had one in several months, they are a biological nuisance that I can't control. I was just happy when I realized I had not had a migraine in months. Yay me. Maybe one day, they will be gone for good.

Happy Sunday. Back to the grind in the AM.

Mid-life Crisis

Is having a mid-life crisis really so bad? I'm just wondering.

When a man has starts grappling with aging, he usually gets a divorce from the woman who supported him on the way up to the top, obtains a new trophy wife and a red shiny penis-mobile, and ends up with a strained relationship with his children from his previous marriage while add more kids to his lineage with The Second Wife.

What does a woman do when she has a mid-life crisis? Um- she usually leaves her job in corporate America and decides to start her own business or a private non-profit to do her part save the world. She begins to take better care of herself, maybe has a makeover or sheds a few pounds. She begins to spend more time with her friends and family, speaks her mind, and simply begins living life on her terms.

Wow- I guess a mid-life crisis ain't so bad- if you are a woman. LOL

Just something I was thinking about. What do you think?

The Writing Gods...

Must be really pissed off with me because this morning I searched for some notes I wrote last week for 30 minutes before I found them. I have either gotten on my Muse's one good nerve for being unorganized, or I need an assistant. Since I don't have it like that- the assistant will be something that I strive for. LOL.

I have been at Atlanta Bread Company for a couple of hours this morning because we are having internet issues at home (the new modem from AT&T should be there by the time I get back). I am really proud of the work I got done this morning. It was work work, so this afternoon, it's writing work for me.

On another note, shame on Jesse Jackson. I mean really. To talk about cutting off another man's nuts on national television. I don't care if you did think the cameras weren't rolling. Always assume the mikes are on and the cameras are still rolling. How many people has this already happened to (George W, Bill C, and more) before politicians will learn to keep their traps shut until they are out of the studio, off the phone, etc. Just me shaking my head at the stupidity of it all.

ARGH! Modern Technology

This morning would have been a good time to get some work done. Took the car in for service. Brought the laptop and Blackberry along- you know, the tools of my trade. Instead of working, I decided that surfing the net and finding things to download to the beloved Crackberry would be more fun. Not like I need any extra distractions.

After wasting what amounts to about 1.5 hours of my precious work time, I'm now off to meet a friend for lunch.

If this ain't the life, I don't know what it. ROTFLMAO. Not to worry, I will get my ass in gear this afternoon. Right after I go to the gym. Seriously, I will. LOL

Didn't Do It...

Have my picture taken, that is. I was too busy going to the movies (Angelina is a bad-ass biyatch in Wanted, and Hancok was ok). Spent plenty of time chilling and reading. And that's it.

Gotta shake off this vacation mentality and get back to writing and such.

Taking Pictures

I hate, hate, hate having my picture taken. But, I've decided that it is a necessary evil, something I must do for my blog. Why, you ask?

I don't know. Just because.

No really, for some reason, I feel like I know the person who's blog I'm reading with a religious fervor if there is an actual photo of them. It's like we are pals, just sitting around shooting the shit.

Of course, my rational mind reminds me that unless the person is well-known, you don't really know if it's them or not. There are lots of fakers out here on the Internet. Too bad for them. I am not in that crowd.

So, The Man will be tasked with taking my picture all weekend long until I find one suitable for posting. He doesn't know this yet, but I imagine he'll find out when he reads this post.

So those are my big plans for the 4th. What will you be doing?
