Wow. I hadn't realized it's been since September 18th since I've posted on this thing. I guess I've either been really, really busy (probably not) or simply have nothing to say. Which, truth be told, seems unlikely for someone like me.
I do have several things I'd like to touch on so have a seat, grab a cup of coffee and be prepared to be un-wowed.
First and foremost, I would like to tell whomever it is that is associated with my husband and reads my blog to back the ______ off. What I write on this thing is NOT going to impact him starting his new business and being successful. If there is anyone out there that has a family and is the spouse of a person starting a new business in this economy and ISN'T worried, tell me what drugs you're taking because I think you're onto something. Come on buddy, it's NATURAL to be stressed when starting a new business and it's natural for a spouse to be stressed also. But I find it incredibly hard to believe that Carolyn's little old blog that gets, what? Ten readers on a good day, is going to impact the success of his efforts. Plus, if someone is going to read this and then not do business with my husband because of it, so be it. We don't need idiots like that in our lives.
Oh my, I see I took my happy pill today!
Now that I'm done venting about that, let's move on.
I have been focusing on working out and spending time in two, yes, two boot camps for a total of four days a week. I haven't done much of anything and went overboard which put my poor, surgically altered back into an upheaval. It shouted out at me to stop for a few days, which I did. Finally got back after a two day rest and then my arm and shoulder issues decided it was their turn. My arm/shoulder has been bothering me all day today but I decided to go ahead and sand the dining room table anyway. I have decided that yes, I can rest and deal with the pain but if I continue to stop what I'm doing because of it, I'll never get anything done. Nothing a little Aleve and Icy Hot can't cure. Right?
I had my friend S come to visit recently. S has been a good friend of mine, well, actually, more than that, for years. I'm pushing 43 and we've been friends since I was 12. We talk a lot, most of the time on an almost daily basis but talking on the phone and spending time together are two different things. Or they can be in most relationships. In ours, it isn't and honestly, that fascinates me. We fall right back into that friendship thing and it just feels good. It's like 'home', for lack of a better word. I can be me in all of my glory (no, people! I'm not talking naked here!) and there is no fear that she won't love me anyway. It's very rare to have friendships like that and I suspect part of the reason we do is because we've been friends for so long. I cherish that friendship and am thankful for it.
Speaking of friends, I did get to see another friend recently, too. My WT (nickname)lives in VA and I went out at the beginning of October to visit her. How fun! This situation is a bit different because while we went to HS together, we didn't know each other and for us to spend time together, in her house for a few days, was risky. I personally think it went well, though I'm wondering why she hasn't called since. Okay, just kidding! Sometimes there are people that you just hit it off with and my WT is one of them. I'm not sure how that happened but I am glad it did and I'm pretty sure if she lived here, I'd be stalking her on a regular basis to hang out with me. She's probably very lucky she's in VA.
Things that currently make me happy:
1. Peppermint Mochas are back (though I've yet to have one, so so far, so good!)
2. Eastwick. Great show but who knew RR was so tall?
3. Jonathan Jackson is back as Lucky on GH. Love me some JJ.
4. Everyone on Cougar Town but Courtney Cox.
5. I'm getting better sleep.
6. Left over Halloween candy.
7. My son, almost 11, still wanting to snuggle every night.
8. Catching up with old friends on Facebook.
9. Listening to Journey's Greatest Hits and still thinking that Steve Perry is the greatest singer, ever.
10. Having almost finished re-doing the dining room.
11. My dogs feet that smell like Fritos.
There's more to say but I need to organize my thoughts and get into a more humorous
mindset. When I do, I'll write more. Sorry, Pam!
