Sometimes People Make Me CRAZY!

Just sayin'....

I'm super tired.  And kind of cranky.  And not looking forward to sitting in traffic on the way home, although it is much better to sit in traffic in my new car. :-)  If only the stereo worked right, then I'd have dependable music too.  But that should be fixed soon. 

It's about time to go home, and I can tell I'm at the end of my rope- I mean day- I mean both!- when I start getting in this mood....

*sigh*

365 Days of ____________________. (fill in the blank)

I guess this is something that is catching on more and more, blogging every day about something... my favorite that I've read so far was one where a photographer interviewed a person every day, took a photo of them, and blogged about it. 

I'm pretty sure I could do this with "Stanley Stories" but really, who wants to hear that much about my dog?!  And I can't use any examples from work, and let's face it- most of the excitement I have these days happens between 8am and 4:30pm.  Oh, joy. 

So, maybe 365 quotes?  or 365 days of silence?  or 365 ways to... idunno, go crazy?! 

I don't know that I'll be starting my "365" on January 1.  That's a lot of pressure.

Long Time, No Posts....

I haven't posted for a very long while; I mean, really posted.  I don't pretend to know why that is... I've said before, most of my posts have been going on my inspirational/"God" blog, I've been set on fire by the Holy Spirit there, and just keep writing! 

The funny thing is, I haven't been journaling much, and I haven't really been talking to anyone about life either... I mean, there's the here-n-there of casual conversations, but no real "brain dump".  Usually, knowing myself, when I'm not writing it's because I'm talking to people or journaling privately more, but I'm not.  I wonder if it's because I've just been so busy with work & youth group, and the fact that I'm not always on my laptop??? 

Or maybe it's because I'm not going through any major "issues" right now.... no problems with boys, no problems with my own issues, nothing to report.  Another 6 months of unsuccessful matches on eHarmony left me with over 700 prospective profiles, and not a single person ever replied to my profile.  Nothing from Christian Mingle, nothing from Catholic Singles.... and you know what?  I am a-okay with that.  I don't feel like anything's missing right now, I don't feel like "insert family here" at the moment, and most importantly, I don't feel like the lone-loser when I'm with the rest of my family.  In the past, that's been a major issue!!!  Everyone else happily married & then there's me... but it's not an issue. 

It's been a crazy year, I have good days & bad as I adjust to living at my parents' house again, but then I look out the window & see my beautiful new mini cooper, under every warranty known to man, and dream of owning my own house, preferably a craftsman in Old-town Tacoma with a view of the water, and just hold on to that dream.  I snuggle up to Stanley and my "what-if's" are silenced by his wagging tail & tons of kisses. 

I hate to jinx anything, but I'm gonna say it- Life is good. *grin*
