It’s Monday and I’m Rambling…

March 23, 2010


Do you know what happens two weeks from today? The Diamondbacks take the field. Baseball season officially starts. I’m so happy.

How was your weekend?

Say you’re in the middle of a conversation with a friend and you know they’ve said something that is inaccurate, and you kind of allude to the fact, but you let it pass because it’s really no big deal since you weren’t talking about anything interesting anyway? And you know how you stew on the fact that they are wrong and you are right and you want to tell them that without being rude, more to let them know that they were wrong than to enlighten them? You know this feeling right? It’s not just me? Isn’t it frustrating? I really should get over it. That would be the mature thing to do. But sometimes it’s so hard being mature.

Chicken and rice and peas are on the menu tonight but I’m seriously considering just eating chocolate ice cream for dinner. 

We all get lost sometimes.  Lost in ourselves.  Lost in others.
What is spring to you? To me it is open windows,  night air, and fresh. Feeling fresh, thinking fresh, living fresh. Spring is also wearing skirts and flip flops like I did today.
Are you competitive? I am. More than I let on.
For as long as I’ve been living on a set-the-alarm schedule (forever?) I’ve set it to go off much earlier than I actually need to get up. In the hopes of gradually waking up I guess. Not sure. Do I really need to hit snooze 9 times? Should anyone even do that? No. And even though I’ve known for years that the hour of hitting the clock every 9 minutes is not restful, I couldn’t give up my habit. Until now. I’m on a 1 snooze schedule. Pretty good.
It’s really hard for me to understand people who follow the rules for every single thing. I am the first to admit that I’m a rule follower. But I’m talking about things that there aren’t set rules for. Things you have to go with what you like and listen to your gut on. That I can’t quite wrap my head around.
I like spinach. Honest. But sometimes it is so disgusting I can’t even swallow it.
Yes, I am full of contradictions.
Things feel like they are finally coming together.  I can’t say much has changed around here, but I feel as though around me is all the possibility in the world.  A slate has been wiped clean, things have been honed down, my mind has been cleared.  It feels wonderful.

I’m in the middle of a captivating book (The Help…you should read it.) It has me thinking about history (No surprise there.) History isn’t long ago; history is now. It also has me pondering how the simple everyday can change the big picture of living.
This time of year I wish I had a convertible.  And a lush backyard.

Lately I have been mentally harping on people and goings on.  I realize I’m being petty, but I also realize that in the process of harping (in my mind still) I’m learning about myself.  Sometimes it is the oddest things that shape us.


Happy week to you!

    My weekend was wonderful…thanks for asking!

    I always tell people. I always assume they are like me and have to know everything about everything and if you don't know you Google it. So I would have informed… lol is that rude??

    Spring to me is longer days, open windows, fresh cut grass, flowers blooming, birds chirping….

    I'm not competitive at all. I used to think I was but I'm really not.

    I've never followed the rules unless I wanted to follow them….

    I'm so excited about baseball! 13 days until the Yankees receive their rings…in Boston. 😉

    Honestly, my weekend kinda sucked because spring break was ending, Matt left, and I had to go back to the real world.

    To me…spring is open windows, grilling out, BASEBALL, a lot more reading, waking up and watching the sunrise, and strawberries.

    Congrats on being on a 1 snooze schedule. I should follow suit.

    Rules are good (I remember Red Foreman from That 70s Show saying something about rules…) but some rules are just made to be broken.

    I feel so full of possibilities right now. It must be spring.

    Sometimes the pettiness can reveal truths about yourself…your likes and dislikes and help you figure out relationships. It's not always a bad thing.

    I really wanted to wear flip flops this past weekend but I need a serious pedicure first.

    LOVE The Help!

    Love THe Help…and now I want ice cream!

    I have always been on the hour of hitting snooze schedule…went to a 2 hit schedule for a while, but I'm back to the hour. Doesn't seem to matter. I still am not ready to get up.

    Spring to me is flowers, birds, and reading on the veranda. Oh and breezes through the windows.

    I am competitive too, more controlling than I let on as well…and generally a rule follower, with a rebellious streak.
