Friday Friday Friday, it’s 4:22pm. Tick Tick Tick goes the clock. I’m waiting for 5:00. Yes, I know that technically I am wishing 38 minutes of my life away. But I can’t help it, for on the other side of that 5 lies the weekend. Those coveted 2 ½ days you get to spend with friends, family, loved ones or alone.
I love the feeling of walking out of my cube. I never look back. Once I forgot my keys on my desk. I think I would have rather walked home than come back in these 3 ¾ walls. 4:30pm. 30 more minutes. I can make it 30 more minutes. I love writing during my last hour of work. It’s like putting the finishing touches on a college paper. It makes my adrenaline rush and I just turned the volume up on my iPod to match the excitement I’m feeling. 4:31. Tick tick tick. I have just enough time to tell you that the only thing I have planned for the weekend is 4th Friday, tonight with my friend Emily. Our outings are ALWAYS fun. She invited me about 2 hours ago. Until then I had no plans and was happy about it. But now I have plans and tonight will be one to talk about tomorrow - I’m sure. That’s just how it usually happens. 4:33 and counting. Oh yea – one more thing. It has rained today – all day. I looked outside and noticed that they (the city) have put up a three rail white fence along the roadside outside my window. I’ve decided that when things get rough here – I will look out my window and pretend I’m on Calumet Farm and that there are beautiful thoroughbreds off grazing in the fields. That’s exactly how beautiful the view is from my window. I am blessed to live in this beautiful state. 4:35 and it’s just a matter of time before I’ll walk into the damp spring air and head for home. A little wine before the art show should set me right. Right as rain!
4:36, it’s time to re-read this blog. 4:39. OK OK OK A little random on the thought process I’ve decided but that was a fun scribble of my thoughts. By the time I post this, straighten my desk and log off, it’ll be about 4:52. I’m stealing 8 minutes of my life back. Ha ha ha ha. Tick tick tick tick. “Happy weekend” says the clock.
“What say you”?
“Happy weekend indeed” I say.

Springy Spring Springing
Knowing that we yet have Dogwood Winter and Blackberry Winter to weather I have managed to NOT catch Spring Fever. BUT today, I hopped in Etta and headed towards home.
I put my sunroof back and rolled my windows down.
The wind whipped through my hair and my nostrils opened wide to receive the fresh air.
And even though I still had my seat warmer on, it was official - the bug had bitten.
Dear Spring:
I am waiting!

Dear Spring:
I am waiting!
As random as me
My thoughts are all over the place today.
I can't keep it straight. HA - Shocker.
So here is the list or should I say RANT - just to help me work it out.
- Just because I choose to eat lunch at my desk does NOT mean that I am working. I AM IN FACT AT LUNCH. You may see me, but I'm not here. DO NOT TALK TO ME OR ASK ME FOR ANYTHING until the food is removed from my desk and the somewhat relaxed look is gone from my face!
- Old men in sweater vests should not hit on women. You look stupid and your sweater smells like moth balls. GROSS!
- I love my dog. He makes me purely happy. When he crawls into my lap and takes a deep breath, my world is perfecty content.
- Green beer scares me. I can only imagine that it makes all your insides green and scary looking. Nevermind the fact that I'm drinking enough beer that the green dye would probably come through my pores the next morning.
- I am opinionated. Just because my opinion varies 180 degrees from yours does NOT make me a bitch. Get over yourself and realize that you are not the only person with strong ideas and convictions.
- I love a good set of soft soft sheets.
- Men under the age of 30 should have to wear green wristbands so that I know to stay way the hell away.
- I wear my sunglasses on my head EVEN when it is raining. WHY? Because I can't find a fucking headband that makes my hair look as good as my sunglasses. THAT'S WHY!!!
- If you don't like what you're doing with your life FIX IT. Do not whine and complain and make people feel sorry for you - FIX IT. (side bar - I SO need to listen to my own words sometimes - I admit this!!!!!!)
- Ignorance is NOT an excuse.
- At the end of a long day or any day, I love the sound of my mother's voice.
