So spring has come and I've discovered the joy of opening up all the windows and blinds while I'm home. Of course I'm too lazy to close the blinds every night. This hasn't been a problem because I live on the second story and my bedroom is in the back. My window looks out over 2 garage buildings, a parking lot, and another set of apartments. Oh yeah, I said another set of apartments. And yes, we have direct line of vision of each other. However, this hasn't caused any problems or embarrassments because, the apartment is vacant. It always seems to be. I came home tonight to find someone parked IN FRONT of my garage. So I had to drive around and around to find the one empty parking space. Then I went in to my room, stripped, and turned around only to discover someone is in the process of moving into that apartment - and they had already discovered the show available through my window. I decided I might as well introduce myself since they had already seen me and promptly went over there and asked them to move their car, which they did very nicely. Still - it probably wasn't the best way for me to meet my neighbors.
I had all kinds of funny things to say yesterday but I got distracted and didn't get to write. Today I'm just pissy. I had to go to driver's ed to day. It sucked so bad. It was a miserable 9 hours. Tomorrow I have to go into the office. With the kids. Cuz it's Sunday. I also have to get brakes put on my car and clean the house. Can I please have another weekend? This one sucks!

The other day I wore this cute spring skirt and top. I know it's cute and flirtatious, that's why I bought it. It's amazing what good looks will do for a girl in this town. The men smiled and said hi. They waited while I crossed the parking lot when they didn't have to. One insisted I stand in front of him in the check out line. All I had to smile and say hi. It was an amazing ego booster. Men are so silly:)

I love computers. They allow me to pretend I talk to people every day. They make my job fun. If it weren't for computers I certainly wouldn't do what I do for a living. Someone would ask me for something and I would look at them and say, "You want me to do what?" However, they are temperamental tools and today I was ready to throw mine through the window several times. I scared the crap out of someone standing outside my office when the damn thing crashed again. Funny - I managed to keep a smile on my face and a lilt in my voice but he knew I was pissed when I refused to cuss. There were no words powerful enough to express my feelings at that moment.

I learned at a young age that sex sells and not necessarily in the prostitutional sense. Sex sells beer. Sex sells life insurance. Sex sells just about anything. Sex even makes me sound entertaining. If I don't know what to talk about but I want someone's attention I just talk about sex. They're sure to listen. I'm trying to pull away from that habit and strengthen my other positive aspects but it's not working!!!! You two don't want to hear about the cool pivot table I created today. The birdhouse and feeder are only slightly interesting (but only because you're wondering why the hell I'm writing about it). I'm NOT political and you don't want to hear my views on religion because they are very confused. My personal growth stories are probably boring because you are Way past my personal triumphs. I haven't met any new people to talk about or had any exciting adventures. My kids are behaving normally. My car is too. And sooooo.....I'm left with sex.
It's time for my .....um....quarterly review. Unfortunately it looks like it's going to be a self-exam. With all the practice I've had lately I should pass with flying colors. I've been thinking of alternatives. I've seriously been considering going to Hawaii next weekend but trying to avoid that drastic of an answer. It's just rather silly. I've considered going to AZ but I lost all my phone numbers and really don't want to push my luck by showing up on a doorstep. People move you know. I could go to Georgia but he was a dick last time and I really don't want to lose all the time due to time zones. I really need to just stay here and meet *gasp* new people. Consider it an investment of my time so that I'll be ready next quarter.

The bird feeder was a fantastic idea. We get all kinds of cute little visitors each morning. They also spit the sunflower shells all over my patio. And in my pots of dirt and struggling seedlings. Good grief! I don't even give sunflower seeds to my kids. What was I thinking?

How boring!
I heard it three times this weekend. Each time someone had asked what I was up to. I'm sure it's the way I've been expressing it.
Not much, just hanging out. We went to a walk to the bagelry for breakfast this morning. Just hung out. Went to the park and flew the kite.
It was actually a very pleasant weekend. I feel very rested and ready to go back to work (kind of). However, I'm very scared. Am I really enjoying a peaceful life or am I letting time slip away and living unfulfilled?
I have two beautiful, healthy, and well-balanced children. How can I be unfulfilled?
And yet.....there are things I want to do. Adventures to be had.
Is it so boring to be able to wait until I can have them? I'm fairly sure that being able to enjoy the positives in all situations is a good thing.
I'm hoping that this is a growing experience for me. Not requiring the adrenalin rush caused by constant change. It's a new concept for me.
