* Telemarketers make me crazy. I answer the phone all day long at work and I wish sometimes that I could reach through the phone and strangle them. GRRRR. Why is this method still used as a form of marketing??? I don't know anyone who stays on the phone with them.... do companies actually get results enough to justify paying someone to make those annoying phone calls?
*I have an odd bra size.... which makes buying bras difficult... they rarely fit the way that I want them too. Very frustrating really.
*My co-worker's wife has been having a very troubled pregnancy.... this adds a lot of complication to his life, to my boss's life and thus to mine. We are all hoping she'll continue to be careful and that nothing will go wrong. Baby wants to come too early!
* I have been on a chick-fila kick lately. I literally want it for every meal, but in the name of trying to eat healthily, I've been resisting for the most part. It hasn't helped that I got free coupons in the mail 2x's now. And let me tell you, when you want chick-fila, a Kashi flax seed bar just doesn't measure up. Neither does much else.
*I just finished a book called the Memory Keeper's Daughter. It was amazingly engrossing, yet completely depressing... though it did end on a note of hope. You get wrapped up in the characters' lives, but it is sad how much they f**k'd up, how many rippling aftereffects there are to one bad decision.
*Speaking of reading... I just finished "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. I really liked her writing style... she narrates her journey through Italy, India, and Indonesia on her search for God after a messy divorce, heartbreak, and depression. She writes with depth & emotion and the book challenged me to think through what and why I believe what I do. She came to different conclusions about God than I have, but I still enjoyed hearing the search... hearing the struggle to know more about why we are here. And it challenged me to seek a bit more, as the Bible says "Seek first the kingdom of God.."
* I read fast... sometimes I wish that I didn't. I fly through books and I want them to last longer... and I don't have anything to read right now and am in the mood to read something amazing. Any recommendations? To tell the truth, I'll even settle for something halfway decent ;)
* Exercise has been so hit or miss for me lately. I was consistent again for 2 weeks (after about a month off), and this week... I'm back to "enh" about it and haven't been to the gym once. I'm skipping my class tonight again so I can go home and cook. I am going to make stuffed baked chicken, wild rice, and asparagas salad with raspberry cream pie for dessert. Yum... sometimes cooking (eating) just wins over the gyming.
*It has been SO hot here the past couple of weeks. I'm VERY ready for fall.
* I'm also restless this week. I want to go somewhere and do something exciting! I wish I had a fun trip planned or something. One of these days here shortly I need to get my passport updated and plan a trip to the DR to see Christy! That would be an exciting kind of diversion from the blah blah of everyday life.
* Sometimes the idea of getting married scares the hell out of me. Some days I'm definitely impatient for it, but others... the thought of never being able to go on a "first date" again and that whole process of having a crush, that little rush of "hmmm... I wonder if he's single, he's cute" every time you meet some new interesting guy, etc. seems sort of sad to leave behind. I guess it is just a new phase of life. BTW, this is all just musing at this point... I'm not getting married just yet.
