On Holiday

I officially started my vacation yesterday. 10 beautiful days where I don't have to go to work. Where I don't have to spend 8 1/2 hours wondering just what the hell happened. 8 1/2 hours where I don't have to train my replacements, answering questions that I wouldn't have to ask.

So, I am on vacation and I have never been more thrilled.

So far I have had lunch with friends, visited with my niece and nephew, and slept. My nephew Breydon got released from the hospital. Which is super great news. He is in that great stage where he is still small enough to be snuggly, but not small enough that you feel you will break him.

I am looking forward to seeing the new Twilight movie (go ahead and mock me now). I wound up reading all of the books out of boredom and found them very enjoyable. The first movie was just ok. But I think more often than not the books are better than movies.

Believe me, I will probably never hear the end of going to see the Sexy Vampire movie (J: Oh there's werewolves too! Awesome)

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart

Outside my window...an absolutely beautiful morning


I am thinking...that I wish the laundry would hang itself


I am thankful for...opportunities.

I am wearing...pajamas

I am remembering...I need to pick up Lola's medication today

I am going...to have an interesting day ... hopefully with no nervous breakdowns

I am reading...nothing. I just finished the last book in the Twilight series. J ordered me Notes Left Behind, so I am waiting for that to come. And I also need to get the latest Post Secret book.

I am hoping...that today is a good day.

I am creating...a speech in my mind that I will probably never give

On my mind...how my current employment situation gives me a totally nervous stomach

From the kitchen...a cold can of Coca Cola.

Around the house...it is actually quiet. No barking dogs or yard equipment being run.

Some of my favorite things...Klaus, Lola, J, the new Tivo, my red ipod, Muse, wearing flip flops in November

A few plans for the rest of the week...my main goal this week is to keep my sanity. Enjoy the time alone in my car listening to music and try to be positive.

A photo to share...A photo from the Undisclosed Desires video by Muse. I <3 them.

When people run in circles it's a very, very ... mad world

Several things on my mind this Sunday evening.

Funny how an asinine farming game on Facebook can reverse years of silence. Years in which I spent wondering why most of the people that should protect a child from evil, instead shunned the kid and embraced the evil.

But now, those people need help with their farm on Facebook.

I couldn't make this shit up if I had been trying to.



I have spent the better part of the last two weeks reading the Twilight books. My love for all things Muse related prompted me to do it. Turns out, that while the premise is ridiculous, that the books are pretty easy to read and terribly addictive. So, I will set aside my pride and take the ribbings from J about reading books about "sexy vampires".



Lastly, just because I am the owner of two fantastically adorable dogs:







They know they can give me those eyes and I will absolutely let them lay on the freshly cleaned bed sheets.
