Eating breakfast in front of the computer
I usually eat breakfast here but today it seems strange. Why can't I stay away from this box? TV doesn't hold my attention like the computer. Hours can go by and I hardly notice. Too bad I don't have hours this morning...I have to be at work at some point.

Speaking of work, it's horrible right now. I've got a billion and one things to do and can't seem to scratch the surface. It's all really tough, confusing stuff. I guess it'll mean I'm going to learn something and grow through it but only if I can live through it. I want to play hookey just so I don't have to deal with these customers. Too bad they'll still be there when I get back. Better to just go and deal with as much as possible. Today I'm going to pester everyone to help me so I can get through this.

Last night was Paul and Jill's last night in Texas. They're flying back to Liverpool, England today. *Side note: I just learned that Liverpool has produced more number one pop hits than any other city in the world.* So to wrap up their trip, the whole family had dinner. It's sad to see them go but it's been such a wonderful visit. And it's good to know that someday we'll see them again. The picture above is of Paul, Grandma, Karen, Dad, and Mom in the doorway watching the dogs perform tricks. Seeing everyone watching was more entertaining than the dogs, so I took a picture.

I haven't been getting enough sleep recently. I'm so tired every night. Poor Kevin has to put up with me falling asleep on the phone night after night. I want to stay up and talk but I just can't. It's very frustrating. It seems that I've made my schedule so full that I won't be able to catch up on sleep until Friday. Hmm, that's really not good. Since tonight is DFW Blogs happy hour, I don't think I'll be catching up on my sleep tonight. This will be the 1 year anniversary of DFW Blogs happy hours. WOW. It's amazing to think how different my life is now a whole year later. I'm far happier and so much of it is the friendships I've made through this group and blogging. So tonight I'm going to be taking lots of pictures...be prepared!

Art
Seeing Robin and Ed this weekend made me think a lot more about making art. I think I'm going to make some electronic pieces (since I love the computer so much and can't seem to get away from it). As I was looking through my jewelry drawer today and through some conversations I've had recently, I've realized that I have a lot of crap I don't need and really shouldn't keep. So maybe an electronic art piece detailing all the crap I've got and the process of getting rid of it. Simplifying one's life is good.
