caffeine is the devil

I knew getting the Diet Coke with my Zaxby's was a bad idea... And here it is, one hour and 35 minutes into my most fabulous day and I'm still awake, messing around online. But the Zaxby's was sooo good. Well worth the pain.

Many of you are aware of the somewhat obsessive, never satisfying relationship I have with Flica, our online scheduling, swapping program. I would like to point out here that my relationship with Flica is not completely one sided. When I signed in a while ago to see if they posted my new schedule it said happy birthday. How nice, huh? Who says scheduling doesn't love me? ha

Lately has been tired. That's mainly why I haven't written. I went to Maine this weekend which was really nice but other than that (and partially including that) all I do these days is go to and from the airport, either by plane or by car. It's all good though. Today was a nice day at work. I had really friendly passengers who made me smile. The weather is still bumpy and I'm getting a little tired of being thrown around for hours on end, but what can you do?

I'm learning that pride goeth before a super suckiness at crossword puzzles. All my life I've fancied myself a word girl. I like to read. I read a lot. I remember a lot of what I read. I like to write. I like good spelling and proper grammar. But I can not, for the life of me, do crossword puzzles. And it makes me feel like I'm stupid or something. I think it's God's way of keeping me in my place :-P. Tanya says I need to start out with easy ones, but I guess the easy ones aren't easy enough. Now I feel like I have to be able to do them just because it's a challenge.

My China trip is sneaking up on me and I just realized I have a lot to do. It looks as though my mother dearest and I will be making the journey together, which will be nice. That's a long way to go on your own.

Another thing that will make long trip much more pleasant is that I have the best friends in the whole world and a bunch of them went in together and got me an ipod for my birthday. I consider myself most blessed. Not just to have an ipod but to have friends of the quantity AND quality that I have. And that's just my friends. Nevermind my amazing family. God has been and continues to be so good to me. A very wise person told me recently that it's really important not to focus so much on one thing you want that you miss the other things around you. I'm afraid I do that sometimes when it comes to my friends and family. I want that one special person. I want to find that someone I will spend my life with, but obviously it isn't God's time and I would hate to think that I neglect the wonderful friendships that I have because I'm looking for something else. Oh yeah... I love love love my ipod. It rocks my face off.

Just some thoughts from a very blessed, but crossword-ly (yes I just made that up) challenged girl.
