I love a rainy night..

Watching Aliens and listening to thunderstorm means that I'm having fun. The movie's a little stressful though; lots of anticipation.

AND...AND...AND...

I just wrote my mom a dissertation of an email. If it wasn't after ten, I would have just called, but she gets wound up if we talk too late and then can't sleep. On June 10th I start doing nanny duties for niece and nephew. That's some money coming in...hurray!!! AND...I'll get to drive the Mini. Oh yeaaah!

squeeak

That was so fun hanging out and eating chicken wings and talking (listening). I love meeting people's moms. He's so much like her; I could see him a few times in things she said and did. so charming and sweet! She's so cool and nice and down to earth. I hope I made a good impression.

AND there's a thunder storm!

SCORE! I'll have to watch the rest of the movie tomorrow though. It's a little late to be watching at a reasonable volume. I can hardly wait to cuddle into my blanket in bed tonight. Night thunder storms are the best (well, daytime thunderstorms maybe are better; I can't decide.)

Jonesie's okay!

I liked "Alien." Now I just need to finish watching "Aliens."

Alien and Aliens

Okay, I got copies of them, so I am in the middle of watching the first one. I started watching the second one until I realized that it was the second one. Now I'm watching the right one. I have trouble hearing what they're saying.

oops

I feel like correcting my mom when she spells 'oops' "opps" but really don't have the heart. I guess it's not an 'opps' to her anyway.

insomnia and deep thoughts

I was looking at old school papers from first or second grade before bed and then couldn't sleep. I started having all these thoughts about divorce, cleaning, weight, school, job, all these possibly connecting thoughts. I wrote it out in an email to myself so I wouldn't forget. HOpefully, these thoughts/connections will help me in getting my life together. I feel like there is a block keeping me from being where I want to be, and maybe that's part of the block.

yuck

Well, that was unpleasant. Next time someone tries to warn me that there might be too much alcohol in a beer, I'm going to listen. Anyway, I just scarfed down a bunch of chips and guacamole, and that helped, I think. Too bad we lost. What now?

Fine!

I showered. Are you happy now?! You can stop haranguing me. Now it'll be easier to get to my Mom's on time in the morning.

Today

Interview has been postponed until NEXT Wednesday. So, I haven't showered, and I want to be clean, but I don't feel like getting in the shower. Can that be arranged somehow? That'd be greeeeaaaaat.

HERE is a more recent picture of Dad and Pat! May, 2013

YAY!!

Follow up appointment went fine. They were just cautious, but there was nothing to worry about. Now, onto my interview tomorrow. And something to eat: I'm starving!

I'm nervous!

Wish me good luck at tomorrow's follow-up appointment and Wednesday's interview, please. Thanks!

Twelve Hours

Tomorrow I go with my mom for pie! Rhubarb pie, here I come!

an hour late

I think it's an hour late, but I'm going to watch Bill Maher now. Not much going on tonight--hence, all the posts about not much of anything!

Daydreaming

I'm kind of in lala land for some reason. I'm just thinking about last night and lots of other times. I can't believe we have such similar sofas. Funny.

I could, but...

I am free to go out for a drink tonight, but for some reason, I'm feeling insecure, so I probably won't. Sometimes I want or need a little encouragement.

Last night was fun. Winning, good company, and cats!

I need a more current picture of Dad and Pat! (from 2008)

Happy Belated Birthday to Dad (yesterday!) I love Dad so much.

Jill and Zoe at Oklahoma performance: so pretty!

'things I've given' exercise

side note: Mother's Day, my mom just poo-pooed when I said how lucky I am because she's such a wonderful person. She said, "no no..I want something specific." haha. gotta love her. (I said that she has a lot of wisdom that she gives)
Exercise: Things I've given to people...no matter how small, and try to think back to a long time ago (additionally):
Eric: I took over mowing the lawn
Eric: got him tickets to go see B-52s with Jill and Becky and me when I was in high school
Dad: Went to camera shows with him
Dad: listened about Sally
Mom: listened about Dad
Mom: class made her cards when she had surgery
Called random people on the phone and played piano for them
Becky: taught her how to ride a bike in high school
Dawn: helped her study for Spanish test (around 6th grade)
.......

dude.

I am craving mediocre spaghetti.

interview Friday?

I had a phone interview today with The Weather Channel. Let's hope the forecast is good. Oi.

Minutes away from bedtime

I'm happy that I brought myself back up from starting to feel down tonight. I went outside and reframed stuff, and then I felt better. Hurray for me.

Interesting...as all Ted Talks are...
