Finally daylight!
Good morning, again. Hope this finds you well. No doubt everyone is at work by now. Happy its Wednesday, looking forward to Friday!
It is 9:14 and I have managed to check off all the items on my “To Do” list. I am so pleased with myself. I am feeling pretty good so far today. I had most everything done before it was even daylight. Whatcha think about that?!
I need to make a quick run to the store for some tooth picks in just a bit. I am going to make bacon wrapped green beans. I have been wanting them for days and just didn’t feel like doing the work it takes to make them. They are so yummy. I might also put those steaks on to marinate finally. I don’t need much from the store, but I do need to make the trip worth it. It seems silly to me to burn the gas for just a fifty cent pack of tooth picks. But I also don’t want to buy just for the sake of buying. Anyway, I’ll work that out before I go.
I have been working on my Christmas list… trying to get an idea what I want to get for each person listed… and putting a limit on our spending. We tend to get a little out of control with what we spend come Christmas time. And this year, we really need to be diligent about sticking with a budget. Baby coming and all, makes keeping it under control more important. So far I don’t have many items by many names….. ugh.
I feel a bit “prickly” today. It’s kind of a combination between tender and hurtful. I get my feelings hurt easily and have a hard time verbalizing it without being mean. Thankfully this feeling hasn’t come around in a while… and I am home by myself to work it out today. I really dislike feeling this way. I do my best to keep my trap shut so I don’t feel like an asshole when it passes and I realize I said something hurtful. That’s one of my biggest fears, hurting others unintentionally. I am just devastated when I later realize that I have hurt someone. So, maybe with getting the house work done today & cooking a little, I can work out all that negativity I have bottled up. I wish I knew where that comes from. Right now it is easy to say its probably pregnancy hormones…. but lets face it, I have been here before. Not sure. Maybe one day I will figure it out.
Monday was Jenn’s birthday. Today is Sonia’s birthday. Friday is Lauren’s birthday. There are many more in November, but those are the three this week. We didn’t get to celebrate with Jenn or Sonia this weekend (we didn’t go to the beach & we didn’t see Jenn all weekend either), hopefully we will catch up with both of them soon. Saturday we are going over to Mandy’s for Lauren’s birthday celebration & greasy tacos…. my tummy hurts already! LOL.
Our birthdays are just shy of two weeks away. I haven’t gotten anything for Tancy yet. That is very uncharacteristic of me. I should probably get on that! LOL. Trouble is, I don’t know what to get her! Another problem I don’t usually have. I am sure I will figure it out…. but I wish I had it done already. I already feel like I am down to the wire.
I finally got to talk to Aunt Jan online this morning. Not for very long though. I have to say I was a bit sad to have to cut our conversation short. I almost never catch her online, I can’t remember the last time we were able to IM. Just missing her and our conversations I guess. We were not exactly connected for quite a while. In the last year or so we have found our way back into each others lives and I have so enjoyed it. We seem to have picked right up and never checked up. Still there are times when I seem to need her more, to talk to her, to just connect again for a moment. I don’t know, I am rambling. Just missing her a bit today.
I can see, if I continue this blog, it is just going to turn into one big emotional mess. Trust me, you don’t want that. So, I reckon I will bring it to a close and find something to occupy myself with.
I hope you all have a great day today. It is HUMP day! I know how some of you look so forward to HUMP day! Happy birthday to all my girls and boys this month! We love you.
Later taters. Love to all!
