Happy State Darts Weekend!

I'm happy this weekend is State team Darts competition in town, but sad at the same time. Because of my surgeries I haven't been able to compete this year. I guess I'll just mill around the hotel ballroom saying hi to old friends with a drink in hand(sounds like any other year, so far) but without a team to throw with? Will be different! I guess I'll just have to be a cheerleader this year. We all need our little cheerleaders in life, right? It's my turn!

Who am I?

I'm having kind of a "where in the world do I fit" day. It just seems I live this life in a bit of a lifeless coma. I don't do much but explore the Internet universe (blogs, a few gaming sights, websites) and watch some prime time TV and call it a day. If I have a day off work, I revel in the fact that if there's nothing pressing I have to do that day, I can spend it in my jammies, or maybe shower sometime afternoon.
Do I have to be an "upstanding pillar of my community"? Or start volunteering my time at a shelter because I sometimes have spare time? Can I just be a slob sometimes? Does it make me a bad person to just lye around the house and do nothing productive?
It's actually the best day of my week when I have a day like that. I may be a bit of a social outcast, or dare I say, loser, but I'm pretty much OK with that. What am I gonna do? Go out to the bar and get hammered? Or worse, sit at home alone and get hammered? I guess I'm just realizing that life is mine to do with it what I may. And I may stay in my jammies and watch TV all day today. Sounds heavenly to me. Have a comment, please share.

Random Tuesday

I'm gonna try something new... I usually analise and re-analise everything before I publish a post, but today I'm just gonna ramble and see where it gets me.

I got to watch my first episode of late night with Jimmy Fallon last night since I could sleep in a bit this morning. I was suprised how natural he was! It almost seems as if he was made for the gig. I'm excited to see more from him and am still sad at the idea of Leno leaving because Conan will never measure up in my book.

Another thing on my mind this morning, this whole time change thing. I understand it's supposed to give us more daylight, but WTH? Can't we just accept what nature gives us? What gives us the right to play with time? It seems a little like playing God to me. I mean, why must we lose an entire hour of our lives when there already are too few hours in a day?

Monday blues

It's the start of a new work week, a week in which I will be working 3 hours a day... seems like a pretty easy schedule until you realize I'm the sort of person who needs an entire pot of coffee before she can function, and has a hard time pulling herself away from her computer to shower and ready herself for the day... so, in short, I need about 3 hours to ready myself to work for 3 hours.

I guess I should be happy I'm back to some sort of a schedule because since my surgery (4 weeks ago tomorrow) I've been a bit of a couch potato. I've had no "get-up-and-go" and seem to waste the day away. Maybe some discipline will do me good. Make me feel like a contributer to society once again. Wish me luck as I head back out to that mad, mad world. I have a feeling I'll need it.

A light at the end of the tunnel!

It's 39 degrees here in North Dakota today, if you can believe it! I see spring off in the distance! Woo, hoo! Shadow or no shadow, nicer weather is on it's way. Get out those Rollerbaldes and bikes, or just your walking shoes to get out there enjoying the sun in your face and the smell of flowers beginning to bloom! Only bad part of this all, is that we've had alot of snow here in the last 4 months and as it all melts, we have rivers gushing through the streets. My yard has a drainage route through it and I tell you what, I had to pull my car ahead, out into the street before I could leave for work this evening. Then proceed to balance on the small strip of pavement not in the "lake" and go back to the house to change shoes and socks. Back to the balance beam once again, and leave for work 5 minutes late. What a fun start to my work day!
