Mondays can be the worst day of the week.  I am either too tired or too busy to appreciate the beginning of another work week.  Today is no exception.  I had the hardest time falling asleep last night and then this morning about 4 I woke up and was unable to fall back to sleep.  I was not so tired this morning, but this afternoon I feel like all the pep has been sucked out.  I did not even eat alot of carbs at lunch.   I had vegetable soup and sugar free pudding and cantaloupe.  I am sure there was sugar in the cantaloupe, but surely not enough to make me feel like I bottomed out.  Tis wierd.

So I am writing in an effort to wake my brain up and get motivated to finish the rest of the work day without falling asleep at my desk.  I had a great weekend as weekends go.  I spent several hours friday night with friends just talking.  I learned a lot of things and it was nice to chit chat with women and not have to worry about the guys eavesdropping or prodding us to get moving.  Seems to me that when women get together without males present we are more comfortable talking about whatever.   Definitely look forward to more nights out like this.

Saturday night we went to a Wedding Shower for my cousin and his soon to be wife.  It was also an opportunity for our family to meet her family.  I think it went well.  Her family was super nice and had a lovely home.  They had a screened in back porch that overlooked a tree line.  It looked so peaceful.  I could definitely get into having one of those.  I love to be a part of nature.  Anyway I could get sidetracked by that.  The evening went well.  Let there just after it got dark and went to Target to pick up the first christmas gift of they year.  WOO HOO.

Sunday was housework/yard work day.   The weather was wonderful, although Andy thought it was a little too warm to work too much in the yard.  I liked it.

so it was an eventful weekend and even a little relaxing and rejuvinating.  Maybe thats why I could not sleep, I was too relaxed!!  hehe

Back to work!

OK so I am not sure how I feel today.  We had to get up a WHOLE 10 minutes earlier than normal, but it seems like so much more.  Getting up before the sun is killing me this year and we just started it.  How will I ever make it thru winter.  Once I am up and moving around for about an hour I am fine, but then the sun is up by then and is motivating me.  I know it sounds strange, but for the most part I am one of those people who likes to get up early (when the sun is up) and take advantage of the day, especially when the weather is darn near perfect like it has been these last few days.  This is my kind of weather.

Anyway, today is one of those days becuase I had a frustrating time over lunch.  We use the bill pay feature thru our bank and I am the one who pays the bills and keeps the checkbook up to date and stuff.   Well apparently one our our bills had the wrong account number and so did not credit the account, so I spent my lunch on the phone with both the vendor and the bank.  I know it was my fault and I fixed it, but it was still frustrating all the hoops they make you jump thru to get it fixed.  It seems to me that it would have been so easy to look up the account number that we used (the wrong one) see that a payment was posted from our bank on this day, for this amount, blah blah blah and then fix it.   But no, its not that easy.  I had to call the bank and have them fax over the info to the people and then they research it.  Seems convuluted to me!!  It was frustrating.  And now, the day is moving way too slow.  My lunch was unsatisfying and I really just want to snack on all the bad things.  argh  I hate these kinds of days.  I hope my mood improves once I get off work!!

Ok let me start by saying, I have wonderful friends and would not change them for the world.  Or trade them in.

Having said that, I went to see “The Women” this past weekend with a group of friends and it made me start thinking again.  I know, I should stop that, but can not help it.  In this movie there are 4 friends who all appear to be in different stages of their lives, but yet still come together in times of need (both good and bad).  I have friends who are there for me and who would give me their shirts off their back if I asked.  What I feel I am missing in my life is the day to day tell the silly things that don’t matter friend.  Its mostly cuz we are all busy and the little things really dont mean anything so they get forgotten when we finally get to catch up in each others lives.  I dont see me losing any of my current friends, but I do see the relationships I have getting stronger and closer, at least I am hoping for that.   Maybe someday things will slow down enough that that weekly phone call, sometimes daily is not the last thing that gets remembered when its too late to do anything about it.  Until then, the little things may just have to go here.  Which might be the better place for them anyway.  Who knows.

Well it appears that I need to get running.  Things to do before we head off to bed.  Sweet dreams.

Ok, so new series started last night on HBO.  Its another vampires are real in the modern world show.  I am finding that I enjoy these shows, but jury is still out on this one.   While I enjoyed it, I am not quite sure I believed it.  It might be that its a new series and I have not read the books, so I feel like I missed something last night.  Hopefully after the next episode it wont feel so disjointed.  Anyway, just wanted it to go on record. 

I am so loving this weather.  Last night when I left the doctor’s office I was thinking of coming home, throwing on a sweatshirt and sitting outside.  It was perfect.  I love to wear sweatshirts and cuddle up next to my hubby.  Fall is my second favorite season, following closely behind spring.  Spring just brings me to life.  The smells the temperatures, everything, even the rain/thunderstorms.  I love it all.  Fall is time for getting comfy and bonfires and the best holidays of the year.  Fall means family.  Cuz there is no other season where the family gathers as much as it does in the fall.  Or at least it does not seem like it to me.  So I say bring on the fall temps and lets all find a reason to lite the fire pit up and throw back some beer!
