Do I look confused??

Today I was thinking about how important words are to the communcation of the human species, not only do they get us what we need and want, they can paint the pictures that are bouncing around in our heads.

I have really been trying to use my words to paint interesting pictures. I do have alot of fun and interesting things happening to me every day it is just up to me to be able to articulate what is going on in a fun interesting way. It is taking some work let me tell you.

I was really antsy today at work, I kept glancing at the clock every half a second and you know how that is...... the clock has only moved a half second so it seems that life has slowed down to a whisper of time.

The day was just so beautiful I wanted to move my desk outside just for the day ;)  The sun kept calling my name and when I left work there was just enough of it left, it kissed my cheeks. I just had to take a drive that was all there was to it. I opened my windows, put in some lovely Gwen tunes and  took the long way home. I also stopped at the Mekong Plaza. As I browsed through the veggies I kept visualizing all the tantalizing dishes I could make with this and that and every time I go there I see the durian fruit. It is spikey and blobby not a very attractive speciman and I just have to smell it. I have heard that it is one of the stinkiest foods out there. However I have never caugh a whiff of this so called "stink". I am sure all the little Asian ladies think I am strange as I leaned over this bin sniffing the air like a hound dog on a trail. After my little smell ritual I took my self home and promptly lost all ambition to make any food of any kind. So it is left over ambition tonight for supper. How is that for a word painting?

Monday...

I am glad Monday is here! It means that it starts the week so we have another weekend to look forward to.Speaking of looking forward to things I notice that when I don't have a trip of somekind or some kind of shenanagan planned I kinda feel blah. I just feel that the hum- drum of life starts to kick in and before you know it you are chasing your tail like a dog.

Yesterday was a fantastic day. Mr D and I went looking for appliances which we desparately need for our new house. We had a lovely drive together and before you know it Mr Sanchez had sold us a spiffy "new" washer, dryer and refrigerator. They even delivered! Yeah- since I am not a fan of loading heavy machines and such into the back of my truck and then waiting for my back to start screaming, I was sold from the get go. I still have quite a bit of packing to do.. as I write this large stacks of hungry boxes glare at me waiting for me to stuff them to the brim. But tonight I shall have to ignore their mockery since I am soooo tired. Even as I write this I am not sure if I am making that much sense. I am more rambling than writing, its like that phase before you go to sleep when you are talking and before you know it your waking up and you don't even remember falling asleep.

Well I guess I will have to remember falling asleep since I still need to do the usual nightime rituals.....

Wednesday---- the week is half full

Happy Wednesday! Wednesday night is a good night for me, not only does it have one of my favorite television shows on but it is the downward side of the week. So all take a moment and breathe in Wednesday night.

On another note......

Why must the drummers drum so loud!!! And the same stupid beat!!! I am so fed up with this madness on my peaceful Wednesday night.Dahh dahh dumm dahh dahh dumm repetativly for several hours.

Before I go I must tell you a story that happen to me today was pretty fun and sad acutally. I was fixing my self a terrific lunch today at work arrugula and tuna on a tortilla, anyhow in the midst of this preparation I managed to drop some of the tuna on my shirt. Yuck and gross together I don't want to smell like a fish all day. I started dabbing like mad at the spot with some soap and water. Everything was coming along and the spot was going away. Whew. I poured some salad dressing on the arugula and a drip fell off the spout however I caught it with the same finger that had been scrubbing at my shirt, low and behold I forgot about the soap on the finger and promptly stuck it in my mouth, soap dressing and all. It tasted horrible. I gagged a bit and ran my tongue under the sink for a bit to rinse out the taste. I guess I must remember do as mother says and not lick you fingers......

Guess what I found in my black beans..............................

A goat head that is right! Just like a little devil waiting to stab my tongue.

This delightful fall day has been full, yes full of this or that blended together with a whole lot of yeah or nay.
I had to be at an important appointment today at precisely 4 pm. I started out in earnest to make this appointment, I printed maps and let everyone know that I had to leave work at such and such a time to make it from point A to B, I even called Mr. D to make sure that he got to the appointment to. Ahh everything was in order or so I thought.
I was driving serenely down the freeway when much to my chagrin, I noticed I had been driving the wrong way for a good 20 minutes, going north instead of south. I hastened to the next exit and turned about like a top on steroids. I called the important folks I was supposed to meet to inform them of my negligence. I was then informed that they were leaving and that if I wasn't there very quickly I would have to forgo my said appointment. I started feverishly weaving in and out of traffic. I made my exit and guess what, wrong again. I circled the building I was supposed to be in several times before I finally recognized it. I hustled through the door under the disapproving eye of the receptionist and made the appointment!!
The point of this story is to allow you self lots of time for instances where everything is right but you.
