....on vacation?
NO.
...chronically depressed?
MAYBE.
...stranded on a tropical island?
I WISH!
The truth is, life has been loco busy for moi.
Here's a quick and dirty list of what has preoccupied my time:
- WORK
- WORK
- WORK
No really, that's what has been my life this summer. Is it healthy? Probably not. But what's a girl to do?
Luckily, it's just for another 2 weeks and then my life will (hopefully) return to the domestic monotony that I crave at this moment. Dirty dishes, laundry, Primary calling??? Bring them on baby, I want them back!!
Besides work, I have spent quite a bit of my time doing something else this summer.
COMMUTING.
Yeah, at first it was cool to spend 8+ hours a week by myself on the road, but now it is getting flat-out O-L-D. I think I have just about every roadside billboard on I-40 memorized. My favorite one? Definitely the sign for the Mexican restaurant in Winona, AZ "The Hole Enchilada."
I know I sound pretty cynical. I really am not. I have actually had a great summer filled fun stuff and great opportunities at work. I just couldn't help but vent a little.
Anyways, to top off this post, I am including an almost forgotten past time. You guessed it. It's the Top Ten List Baby!
