parachute It wasn't a good weekend. Artboy and I were out of sync, I finally had to admit that an old problem, one that I thought had been gone for years, had reappeared, I didn't get much sleep, and Artboy and I just didn't spend much time with each other. I miss him...a lot. And I don't see the situation changing any time soon. *sigh* I stayed home yesterday with a migraine. I probably could have made it to work, but the drive ...I just couldn't see spending 50 minutes in a car, sitting in traffic. So I text messaged my boss and stayed home, sleeping until after 12:30pm and just laying in bed with my sleep mask on to darken the room further listening to the television on low. Everwood returned last night, much to my delight. It's not looking good for my beloved tv show when the new network starts. I keep hoping against all hope that they won't cancel my show, but it's not looking good. Weeks ago, Donna asked me what I wanted to bring to the shower, and after asking her if she had any suggestions, I chose a veggie platter. Artboy had just purchased one that was absolutely delicious. I budgeted for that amount, and knew it'd be easy to pick up on the way. Today, she sends me an email, asking if I could do a cheese and cracker tray because other folks are bringing more healthy stuff. Perhaps it is incredibly petty, but I'm really irritated by this. I chose my item first, but now I have to change it. Wasn't really jazzed by the idea of buying cheese and cutting it myself, but if I'm going to do this, I think that's what I'm going to have to do, because the cheese trays at Safeway are 3 times the price I budgeted for...and I'm going to have to order it, not just pick one up before the party. I'm already regretting emailing her back, saying that I would look into a tray. I mentioned that I'd chosen the veggie tray because it was convenient and easy for me to do so, and I wouldn't have to empty out a huge spot in my parent's fridge. I should have just said, "sorry, that's what I've planned and budgeted for, so that is what I'm going to stick with." But I'm such a wimp. Maybe I'll talk to her tonight. I don't know. *sigh* I'm taking a couple classes on BN.com. I'll be taking a class on figuring out what it is that I want to do as my career, and then another on living simply. I've purchased the books at Amazon.com, which I'm sure isn't what the had in mind when they started doing these free classes, but tough. THe books were tons cheaper there. They start April 3rd, and I'm hoping I'll get something out of them. I've also started reading, "What Color is Your Parachute." Hopefully it will help. |
