mindless in overdrive.

By revolutionaire.
1. So apparently part of the stimulus package is to let me keep a little more of my income. I got paid today and it had appeared I got a raise. We'll say I did, because shit, I'm getting paid more, but really it's no reflection of my own personal job-well-done.

2. Saturday I went to the beach. It was awesome. I hardly went in the water, as that wasn't my plan when I headed that way. I wanted to soak up some sun. (I'm a freakishly white Irish girl and I use half a bottle of sunblock in one visit, but there isn't another feeling in the world that simulates the feeling of soaking up warm, life-giving sun rays on a breezy day at lands' end.

3. My friend and fellow blogger, Laura posted a list of things that made her happy. I think I'm going to do that later today. It'd probably be a good exercise in positivity; although I think I'm retaining a great deal of that through all the shit that went down Saturday night.

4. Sunday I wanted too much. Go see the Vagina Monologues with my aptly named friend Twinkle and Ariane. Celebrate with Angela's family. Visit Jeff, Kelly, Todd, and Susan. Ride the shit out of my bike. I ended celebrating with Angela's family, but really that only happened because their celebrating happened to happen at my house. Don't get me wrong, I love people, but I'd have rather ridden my bike all day. Or stayed in the bathtub so long I turned into a fish.

5. Tomorrow ends the first month of my living in the Magnolia House -- and yes, I named my house. And I can honestly say I don't know how it could be any better. I outdoors so much more often. I'm in a better mood most days, and I love the convenience of being no more than ten minutes from anything.

6. Speaking of the Magnolia House, I assure all who are interested, I'll take the pictures that are long overdue and post them here soon. I'd sort of been waiting to finalize everything, but then I realized rooms like my office and the art 'studio' probably won't ever be looking straight out of Good Housekeeping . . .

7. I've lost 13 pounds since January. It's not remarkable, but it shows my commitment and dedication. I want to lose weight and I'm half way to 25lbs down! How cool is that!? Again, I really want to get back out on my bike soon. Maybe today if I'm not too tired.

8 and last. Speaking of tired. I drank all but one glass (Angela had that one) of a bottle of a hearty cabernet yesterday -- starting with breakfast, honestly. As I sat down last night to finally tinker on my own computer with our new wireless network, I sipped down the last three glasses. And then when bedtime came, I wasn't feeling sleepy. Staying up until 330 and waking up at 530 because you have to pee doesn't suck as bad as I thought it would.

more later. (see: happiness list.)

You're lucky. I drank all but one glass of a large bottle of Chardonnay ($6, mind you) last night and I feel like ass today. I'm getting old.

603.

By revolutionaire.
I never told you this story, but when I was a three, I had to have physical therapy for a broken femur. Every single day we drove to PT, we went over a small, fairly insignificant overpass with had a shopping plaza below it. The address for the shopping plaza was just barely visible over the bridge. And it was 603. And every single day as we went over, I would excitedly blurt out the numbers to show my mom I recognized them. This turned into a game for us. And eventually, a tradition. Fast forward into my "more grown up" ages ... like ... high school. And, if you could be a fly in my truck, you would have without a doubt witnessed me driving over the overpass by myself and, sure enough, I'd just say it ... "six oh three." Shortly after high school is when I met Seth, Tommy, Leif, Troy, and Jonesy in Gainesville. Still, there was no connection. Their friends and families came to visit, we then bonded, they returned home, and still, nothing. It wasn't until th...

This Just In...

By revolutionaire.
One of my favorite members/clients just called for the second time today. He is one of my favorites because he's always polite, asks to talk to me when he needs something he knows is my job to do, and always says he appreciates everything I do here. Earlier he said I sounded tired and that I should catch up on my sleep all weekend, the second time he called, he said I sounded a little better, but I must have partied far too hard. When I told him I actually worked last night, he said, "wow, you work two jobs... dang girl." I've decided I'm taking that as a compliment. This just in : I hung up the phone after taking a message from him and it immediately rang back. When I answered it, it was him AGAIN. This time I laughed when he identified himself and said, "you just want to talk to me, don't you?" His answer was actually yes. When I politely declined, he was all, "oh, I understand. Could I talk to Fred?" When I turned around to look for Fred...

Go Relax! (And I have a question for my readers.)

By revolutionaire.
Okay ... maybe I've been under a bit of stress lately. I'll admit, I have a tendency to carry a packed schedule. And for the most part, I can do this quite well. But there are times -- and I think they come in waves -- that I need to gtfo and decompress. This is why you suddenly find out I went to the beach, or was MIA for an entire weekend. It happens. It's been happening for my entire adult life. Those who know me, either embrace it, or get over the fact that I'm not changing. But I have to confess, even for me, the schedule lately has been an overwhelming one. At the end of May I was looking at my calendar and realized from that day through the middle of July, there isn't a single vacant weekend. I wish I were kidding. As much as I love being busy and having parties, volunteering, getting together with friends for coffee, and all of that fun stuff, if I don't get to take a long, retardedly hot shower every few nights and turn my phone off from time to time, ...
