Sunday Afternoon Blues

2006-02-05T15:00:00.000-07:00

It's 4:00 pm and that means the biggest part of the weekend is OVER! How sad is that?!!!

I'm going to have to change my attitude or get a funner job or both. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not good. There is a definite absense of good, which, by definition, makes a preponderance of bad. So, I guess it is bad after all.

On a happier note (yeah, right), I "get" to have some tests done on Tuesday where they shove a camera up one end and down the other to have a look at my business. So, at least for Tuesday, I get to have drugs and be off work all day.

The only thing I really hate about it is that when you're going under or coming out, you say the stupidest (or smartest) things and you have no idea what you're saying.

When I had this same test 2 years ago, I told them that "I'd like to thank all of the little people". No wonder they were all laughing at me when I came to. Oh well, maybe I could be a really good comedian if I stayed drugged up.

This weekend has flown by. Yesterday we took Emersen (the almost 2-year-old) for the day so her mom could get some rest. That kid is a hoot! While you're stopping her from doing something with one hand, she's grabbing something else with the other hand. I don't see how people can keep up with kids! YIKES!

Oh, well. Tomorrow will be fun. Clear liquids and jello all day, then the draino cocktail in the evening. Who thinks this stuff up, anyway???

Later

Saturday...

got up at 6:00 am, took the car in for 15k checkup, picked up Emersen, went to Allen to check on Mom's apartment, took Emersen to lunch with my friends Jill and Arnold, took Emersen to PetsMart to look at all the animals, raced home, packed Emersen's stuff, took her home, came home, took Mom to the grocery store, finally came home and sat down for a few minutes...it's now 7:51 pm and I'm way pooped! I can't imagine having kids...YIKES!!!

...must post to blog...guilt is overpowering!

So, I've been busted. Many days I think...what kind I post to my blog? Anything of interest happen today? The answer is obvious since I haven't posted for a while. Then my seester, she calls me and says "don't you like your blog that Alex made for you?" But of course, I do...but all of my stuff is so boring. Who would want to read it??? So, maybe I could hire a ghost writer to post to my blog and write all sorts of intersting stuff and entertain the masses and become a world famous blogger, then someone would find out and I would be publicly humiliated and be a millie vanilliblogger. Hey, that's funny!

What else...

Big news! It's raining here!!! That may not be exciting for people in Scotland, but it's really exciting for people in Texas. It's been raining since about 4:30 this morning and promises to be gloomy and cloudy with thundershowers all day! Maybe now we won't catch on fire and have to grab the cats and dog and run away. Hopefully the drought is ending.

I looked at two apartments for my mother yesterday and it appears that one of them will be perfect. She'll be staying with us for around 6 weeks, then she's on her own. It will be fun furnishing it. I actually lived in the same complex many, many years ago in another life. They have taken good care of it and it's in a great location, across the street from the $1 theater and the Chinese Grocery Store and Elliott's Hardware.

That's enough for one day. I don't want to use all my good stuff on one day.

How's that???

Somebody Take a Pie!

2005-12-26T18:29:00.000-07:00

The only bad thing about hosting the Christmas dinner is that you get stuck with a lot of really good leftovers...and you have to eat them while they're still fresh. I can believe how good pumpkin and pecan pie are together under a pile of whipped cream. As soon as the food is gone, I'll start my diet.

The only exercise I got today was braving the mall to see what they were giving away in their after Christmas sales. Nothing worth the stress.

Oh well. Work tomorrow. That should slow down the feeding times.

...and to all a good night

The way to tell when you've had a really good Christmas, Birthday, Vacation, etc. is when you're really happy, and just a little sad at the same time that it's over. Today was one of those Christmas Days! Good food, good friends, good family (here and on the phone). I ate too much, but the duck was delicious...he was smiling at me.

Now for a nice bath, and a relaxing evening before going to sleep.

It's almost time to go on a diet (but not til the leftovers have been worn out).

Merry Christmas to All,
and to All a Good Night!

Merry Christmas April!
