Weekend is gone...

Well just about anyways.  And its been a bit productive and a bit lazy all at the same time.  I've been trying to get cleaning done and some organizing.  Still not sure if there is a "surprise" in our future this week...or even two of them.  Hoping so, but only time will tell.

Other than the cleaning, it really has been a very lazy weekend, without really going anywhere or doing anything (other than a little grocery shopping this afternoon).  We are about to end our third month here.  And yet, we are still very much packed in the garage and not quite situated the way we want to be inside the house.  We've got to get this under control.  One major problem of this is that it is so darn hot and humid during the day that more than five minutes in the garage is quite horrendous.  Yet, there is something wrong with the light socket and it keeps blowing light bulbs, hence why we cannot work in there at night either - - no light to see anything.  So for now, most of the unpacking and organizing must wait until the temps cool down a bit.  And then maybe we can pull of a fall garage sale while we are at it.  Hopefully.

I guess one more month down here just means one more month closer to visiting Vegas.  Which truthfully is about one of the few things I look forward to on a day to day basis.

Anticipation

There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it  ~Alfred Hitchcock 

There is a lot of it going around right now.  There are a few things we are waiting on or waiting to happen.  Anticipation drives me absolutely nuts!  Like the quote above, its not the actual event/thing/action/etc that has all the emotion with it, its the anticipation of said thing.  I'm trying to keep my cool and not stress.  But if you know me, that is a very hard thing to do.  I'm also not good and pretending to be surprised either, and that inevitably will play a part in at least one of the upcoming things.

I'm a bit shaky today due to all of this.  I am trying to find my core, my center just to find a calming point and some peace.  I think there is a need for some yoga today.

Early morning post

I really should have written here yesterday.  It truly was due to an overwhelming laziness on my part.

So far...no good news on the waiting game yet.  Disappointing, frustrating, and just plain annoying at this point. 

I am not a fan of bureaucratic bullsh*t red tape.  It just causes so much grief for the "little person."  I also have stopped keeping up with what is going on with the whole debt crisis.  We've been in our own debt crisis since 2008, so I guess I'm just tired of hearing about it.  Its not that I don't care...I just am tired of all the bickering and moaning and groaning.  If that makes me a horrible person, so be it I guess.  I believe in the government helping its people, and while some leaders are trying so many others are just trying to stifle the attempts.  Its disheartening at the very least.  Hopefully there are some answers out there.  For the sake of the people.

Disappointing

I hate waiting.  And each day that we are having to wait, it makes it that much more of a disappointing day.  We have a lot hanging on this "news", and it would be appreciative by all in my family, I am sure, if everything would just come through already.

In the mean time, its been a loooong day.  A bit of cleaning and a ton of laundry.  Oh so exciting, huh? 

I think I need to revisit my goal list a lot more, I'm beginning to forget what all is even on there.  Although, I did inform the husband of what his deadline is to teach my to drive a stick shift.  Hmm...of course, my license is the first priority.  That is the absolute one thing in my life that makes me feel so...well "loser-ish."  I just feel lame.  Sounds so silly that one little status symbol item would get me down so often, but it does.  Without it, I suffer badly the affects of cabin fever and lose out on a lot of things to do.  So the end of this year, it is one of my goals during my visit back in Vegas.  I think that would make the best Christmas present actually.  I'd be one very happy girl.

Truckin' along

So yesterday was a disappointing bust...sort of.  Some things were confirmed but confirmation surely didn't put it in our hands.  Thus began the waiting game...and we are still waiting.  Hopefully by Monday morning, we will have much better news.

I did finally finish The King's Speech on Thursday night.  WOW!  Beautiful. Stunning. Amazing acting.  It was just a delightful piece of cinema.  I am so glad I decided to do this "challenge" of a goal and to start backwards.  I hope I can get through a lot more of these quickly.  1 down, 82 more to go! Whoa! That's a lot! I've seen a majority of them, but will still be re-watching for the sake of completion of my goal.  There are plenty on the list that I dread though.  Films that I will never understand how they won a Best Picture.  But I am approaching this as I would any film from my Film Studies courses - as a film critic, as a student and with an open mind.

I think I shall dub this "The Lazy Weekend"...that shouldn't need much explanation of what our plans are - - a whole lot of nothing.

Fingers crossed

Again I'm not ready to let the cat out of the bag, in case I jinx it, but I am holding out for some good news tomorrow. 

Its been a really good day. The iron seems to be kicking in already. I've felt so much better all day.  Better feeling and better mood.  Such a simple solution for something that has been causing a lot of issues.  I'm just glad its helping.

Tonight is the night!  I finally am finishing the movie and will be back on track with my goals. I love a good film.  A dream occupation would to be a film critic. Something to think about. 

Good news is...

euphoric to me these days!  We got some potentially great news today...we'll know more on Friday.

And to top it all off, I got the replacement disc of The King's Speech today.  Cannot wait to get back to it tonight. 

Then DH walked in the door with my favorite candy bar when he got home from work.

Despite my utter exhaustion and lack of motivation today, I would consider it a very good day!
