From time to time ...

[soulswallo]

I'm so completely burnt out. I feel like I'm driving myself on fumes and will crash and burn at any moment. Wouldn't that be interesting to watch?

So, in honor of the fact that I'm perpetually tired, endlessly grumpy and have to work on Saturday ...

10 Things to be Happy About
1. Watching Amityville Horror with malkovich03 and seeing nothing more of her than the top of her head because she was so squished down into the pillows and blankets trying to either (a)keep warm or (b)not get eaten by scary ghosties. Alternately, jumping a foot when a scary part happened even though I watched this movie a week or so ago. Hee!

2. Having little arms throw themselves around my neck in the morning to plant a big, wet kiss on my cheek. Yes, my son makes me happy.

3. Talking to jenahna on the phone the other night. I like how we realized that it's been over a month since we got together to hang out and made plans on the spot to see each other next weekend. Word!

4. Starbucks has their winter line of drinks out. Or maybe it's a fall line. *shrug* Either way, Gingerbread Lattes, Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos and Peppermint Mochas ... yum!

5. I've started my Christmas shopping. Not a lot of Christmas shopping, but it has been started. Gifts have been bought for Amb, Phil, Cole and ... no, that's all I've bought for. Speaking of which, some ideas (general or specific) would be nice from some people I know. *nudge, nudge*

6. I started a story last night. A handful of words and an idea that keeps growing. Now I just have to tame it into something resembling a plot.

7. I will get to take some vacation some time soon. I'm not sure when. I'm not sure for how long. But I will get to take some.

8. I plan on winning The Bet. I only have two more 13 episode seasons to watch (Dead Like Me season 2 and Six Feet Under season 1) and about 5 10 minute episodes from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Easy.

9. TV shows. New ones. Prison Break (love the Went!), Supernatural (Jensen Ackles is HAWT!). Returning ones. Lost, Veronica Mars, BSG, SGA, SG1. So much for me to obsess over.

10. Fall is here, winter is coming. Cold, wind, rain. Things that make me smile and want to coil up with a good book. Or a good movie. Or both. Because I'm a champion multi-tasker.

I still want to continue with my scary movie list. Because scary movies make me smile. But not today.

Hasn't it been a while since you journalled? Just wondering. You know, maybe you should. Just because.
I watched three more episodes of Dead Like Me this afternoon.
I ROCK!

I'm very glad that we did talk and made plans right there - right then. :) In fact it's going to make my non-pc having time so much easier being busy the next couple of weekends!

You are so going to with The Bet.

I already know what I'm getting you for Xmas - but what does Cole want?
