Still on E

I have Natasha Bedingfield's pocket full of sunshine stuck in my head. It's not too far off from my thoughts this afternoon, but that's just today. Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

Non post

This held my attention probably longer than it should have.

And it's way too hot to run today :(

The long day is over

Yay, I got through my first double shift waitressing without falling apart.   Really folks, the next time you go out to eat, know that there is much rejoicing behind the swinging doors when you leave after you are done eating and leave a respectable tip.  My admiration for servers has gone way up because it's HARD.  All depends on the restaurant, but still.  I'm thankful to have income, and to know that life won't always be like this.  

On a different subject, mostly for my benefit because working/money is consuming my thoughts lately, FALL IS COMING.   I love the anticipation of autumn.  The September blue sky's make me think all the other months blue sky's are just posers.   A bouquet of sharpened pencils would be stylin on a desk; apple pies cooling in the window.  Wouldn't it be lovely.  

It's 11 AM

My list of things to do isn't so long today. It's just that they aren't very fun. I've always loved lists; they are so neat and the thoughts rumbling in your head are now out on paper. Therefore, they don't take up precious space and that space can be used for remembering how you didn't finish yesterday's to do list. Plus, there is always a satisfaction in putting a big slash through a task.

But I propose making fun lists. Like today, my list would be:

1. Go to the fair and eat.
2. Lay in the sunshine with my new book.  (I would read it as well)
3. Cut some orange blossoms  by the window for my desk.
4. Watch the synchronized Olympic diving

Good idea yes?

Employment is.. fun?

I found a job after nineteen days of looking.  I don't think that's TOO bad, yet it's not a photojournalist model world traveler (which was what I was going for). It's nice to have money, what with all the school bills and regular bills and food bills and loans bills (?) and gas bills and fish buying going on.

And I'm not even living by myself yet, nor have any cute dependents (kids) or hunky men candy (husbands) to call my own. I'm shaking my fist at you modern world... why must you inflict such destruction upon a pocketbook? It's not even a pretty one, just small and shiny black. *sigh*

:)

Put your mind to it, honey.
