Friday boring-ness

My left eyelid is twitching from all the stress recently. But, in the immortal words of Miss Scarlett O’Hara “I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow”.

Probably not the healthiest way to live, but it’ll do for now.

There’s a new Jimmy Buffett cd coming out in October! Sure, he’s getting back to his “country” roots, but his last cd with all the country singers was ok by me. And it seems like country is now code for “it’s not rap”. Or what ever it is you young kids listen to these days. Why, back in my day, MTV played music! Music videos! Imagine that. None of this over-indulged My Sweet 16 crap. Even VH1’s sold out now – Celeb-reality.

When did I get this way? It snuck up on me. Oh sure I still crank the radio up in the car when there’s a good song on, but now, if the car behind me in line at the Dunkin’ Donuts has a loud bass thumping, I get irritated. Why? If my chest hurts I immediately think “heart attack” and not muscle aches and pain? And why do I have muscles that ache? I don’t want to be this way.

At least the weekend is before us – two whole days of not working. Swimming lessons, birthday parties, maybe a movie, some shoe shopping (I promised C a girls’ weekend, and I think shoe shopping is a pre-requisite). Perhaps Chinese food for dinner Sunday night (cook? Me? While I am capable of cooking, it just seems silly to cook for two, when I can call the Chinese place and they’ll cook for me!).

And Sunday is October! October already! Time to get pumpkins, and plan Halloween costumes, and get cider and apples and all kinds of fall-y things. Hopefully there will be an Indian summer too.

Hopefully next week will bring more coherent and interesting posts. Hopefully.
