Sisterhood...once upon a December

I overdosed on bottlecaps today....... only the purple ones. Well, and a few reds. I really don't like the red ones but I felt I NEEDED more and the purples were all gone. They have these boxes of bottlecaps at Walmart and I made the mistake of buying a bazillion boxes. After I gorged on those I started to feel a little........well TOO sweet, if that's at all possible for me LOL I drank a bunch of water and then tried to balance out the sweetness with a little salty snack. It didn't really work. Later on in the afternoon the crash hit and I slept for 6 hours. After I came out of that coma I felt the need to exercise and went miles in my garage on the bike in front of the bookshelf. I picked up the Ya-YA book and ended up peddling past my 30 minute timer and probably 3o more. I went 12 miles in my reading clip, which isn't really very fast. Well, about 12 miles an hour I guess. Then I grabbed my usual nightcap....a cup of sleepy time tea and some vanilla yogurt. I have strawberries too that I found at Sam's club. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Now this is bliss.

I had that song from Anastasia stuck in my head so turned on itunes and set it on repeat. So Deanna Carter is singing "once upon a December" over and over and over..... it's a soothing moody song.

Something caught me when I was reading and I think it has something to do with this odd mood I've been in lately. It's this whole "sisterhood" thing...... or girlfriends. This is the third book I've read that centered on that theme. I haven't let anyone get close enough to me to have any good friends like this. I'm not sure why but I kind of keep this wall up to people. I'm friendly and likable.........but for reason I tend to be antisocial and missed parties or not be able to make it when people are going out. Now I'm regretting it. I wish I had some girlfriends all these years that have passed me by....... friends to reminisce with about old times. I've lost touch with the friends I had as a kid. I remember them but they aren't around anymore. Some of them just aren't people I could hang out with anymore. Some of them have different names now.

Oh well, I know I have friends now and I just need to work at keeping them from drifting away. I'll have to add that to my "to do" list.

1. vacuum
2. clean the tub
3. study
4. take jared to baseball
5. call a friend and catch up

Quote of the day

Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep.
— Catherine O'Hara

That is so true. I am my most creative in the evening after everyone is sleeping. I think your mind is just too busy juggling all the things you have to do during the day that by the time you get to sit down and enjoy some quiet rest your mind comes alive with idea's you just couldn't hear through all noise before. I have started planning my quiet time. If everyone isn't asleep I take a book to my bathtub and escape for a while. Ahhhhhh, just thinking about that makes me relax a bit.

Googles Quote of the day

Google: "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes"

I love this quote. I wish they would have more good ones.

I am really tired this morning..... I haven't been sleeping well so I finally took something to help me sleep. Now I will feel like a zombie for the whole day but at least I'm not exhausted. I really don't feel like doing my hair. I think I'll just go to work looking like a drowned rat. My hair would probably freeze though. It was snowing like a bugger yesterday and I know my car looks more like a bump in the driveway snow. UGH. Isn't it Friday yet?
