Ola Wednesay

Ola Wednesday!  My friends I have fallen behind a bit in the blogging world. I am sorry :( I have been having so much fun doing absolutely mundane things that I haven't really had a chance to catch you up on them.

Monday: Was well.......Can I remember? No I can't really remember. The days have started swimming together in this great pool I call life and I can't really remember exactly what I did. I suppose if I did remember it it went something like this.
 6:30: Alarm goes off interrupting my dreams of splendor. I always rummage through all the odds and ends that has come to occupy the end tables, before I find that beastly little pest that has summoned me to the new day. I snooze for another blessed 10 minutes. Before I have to pry open my stubborn lids and rally myself for whatever I have coming.
By 7:15 I am usually headed out the door. Some days better prepared than others. But usually not I am not going to lie.
7:30 I have landed in my chair at work and have a ball of time for the next 8 hours. I usually try to spice up my lunch hour with some exercise and then.....hold your breath people here comes the finale.
4:30 Home again, Home again jiggety jig.
I usually unwind myself with a good hour of reading blogs and catching up on facebook, talking on the phone you know the essentials....okay I do play a few games to. I know it is a waste of time but it is my secret addiction like coffee, sleep, food something along those lines.
During that hour I also am thinking "What should I plan for dinner". By the time the hour has ended and I have realized that just saying those words in my head will not make dinner appear and I usually start rummaging in the icebox to see what I have to use up.
Mr D usually arrives about this time and I can't tell how glad I am to see him. I really do miss him when he is gone.

After that its just the usual nighttime routine  I know what you are thinking Riveting and I can't complain because it is what I have created and I change it when I am good and ready.......

A Day at the Park

Look at the Olive Tees.... and the Palm Trees

A we just had to have the Diva shots

It was very beautiful weather out side

Wait the fountain will come on........it may be a while

Sushi

Sushi for breakfast or rather an avacado roll for breakfast along with a banana supper yummy.

Dirty

Dirty dirty  yep that is what my house has become lately. Dust bunnies hide in every corner, dishes are teetering precariously on the kitchen counter and a variety of clothing is draped and  lovingly looped about every room.

I have an excuse... well sort of, I am still in the midst of packing my life away and am finding it hard to confine to boxes all of my precious junk. That and the fact that I become extremely distracted and sentimental when I pack these days. For instance a card that was mailed to me ages ago must be re-read, reminiced and sweetly shown to Mr D. (who finds the card as amusing as my dawdling over the packing) and then placed in a safe and secure place. This my friends adds up to hours wasted and few boxes packed.

The dirtiness of the house also kinda weighs on me but not in a way that makes me want to clean unfortunately. I have taken to the phrase "if you can beat it join it" mentality, if you will and have literally thrown up my hands for the past week at all of the spectaculor mess that has accumulated.

Well hands up no more!

I am changing this state today. I have already cleaned myself  and have made a serious dent into the dishes situation. My next phase of cleaning will involve wrangling the clothes and boxing up the remnants of the remaining cubords and closets. I am like a general planning my next strategy in the War on Dirt. Yes it has come down to war, any parting words you ask?

I shall prevail......Forward .....March

Blah

I have the Thursday blues.

What are those you ask, they are very accute symtoms that usually arive on Thursday evening and they usually come on after you have eaten dinner and are settled down in your nest for the night.

They usually begin with frustrated thoughts, followed by minor disappointments and are cemented in with a bad hair day that you didn't know you had until that night.

Thats right they are all in you head my friends but they are hard to shake. The only thing procedure that I could prescribe and that I have had work well for me is several nights of good sleep and alot of sunshiny days.

I must confess that I have been feeling all wrong lately..... I have been feeling like there is an itch I just can't scratch or there is something looming in my future that I know nothing about and I am getting fed up.

I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it is the clouds looming over head for the last couple of days, or it could be the impending move. AHHHH

November is time for thanks....

I thought I'd reflect a little on the things that I have to be thankful for a little earlier than Thanksgiving. I mean I seriously have about a million and 1/2 things that I could be thankful for this minute. I am resolved  to turn over a new leaf and make a dedicated effort to focus any un-wholesome thoughts directly to thanksgiving mode, starting with numero uno......

1. My precious family, I mean what would I do with out them? They are truly the folks that love you no matter what and I mean no matter what. They have seen me at my best and at my worst and they truly are the apple of my eye.

2. On this Veteran's Day I truly would like to call attention to all of the brave men and women who have been there through thick and thin supporting our country and I would just like to say that I am very thankful for everyone who has been towing the line or has towed the line. Three cheers for you

3. I would like to starting being thankful for things now that you wouldn't think to be thankful for. I mean we all know we are thankful for food, housing, clothes, I mean DUH we should be. (I mean I certainly don't wake up in the morning and think to day I would like to starve and run through the streets naked and sleep under the stars just for kicks, if you do I give you props)

4. I am really thankful for toilet paper, It is a very multifunctional tool that would make my life very uncomforatable if it suddenly went amiss. It can be used to blow you nose, clean up makeup mistakes, wipe UHUM you know along with a variety of other things that  do not pertain to the aformentioned UHUM.

5. I am really thankful for my phone, it has gotten me out of many a pickle and it keeps me connected with all sorts of groovy peeps.


6. I am thankful for good music, there is nothing like a good jam session to lift the spirits

7. I am thankful for flowers they are 1. beautiful masterpieces of artwork 2. the smell good  what is better than that

8.  I am thankful for a sweet kisses and cuddles from Mr. D

9. I am thankful for many happy memories that are stored deep in my heart.

10. I am thankful for smiles they make the day seem sweeter

There is  more of this thanksgiving coming....I just needed a little preview

What are you thankful for November 11th?
