Hello Spring
Written by jamie on March 22nd, 2011Reflections of a good weekend
Written by jamie on March 21st, 2011My weekend:
– I had breakfast with a sweet friend at my favorite restaurant. It had been way too long since we’d seen each other, and we had way too much to catch up on.
– Housecleaning. Doesn’t sound like fun, but getting the dust bunnies off the floor makes me feel better and more relaxed. Cleaning with Bill Engvall on in the background makes it much more entertaining.
– Laundry. Again, doesn’t sound fun, but it actually is with our new washer and dryer! Lots of fun buttons and dings! Plus, I found a way to get those nasty, lingering B.O. smells out of my shirts. Vinegar is a wonderful thing.
– I decided to be overambitious in my yoga practice. I tried an hour long video that about killed me. I pushed through and did what I could and actually felt good after I was done.
– Ran errands with the hubby. Used gift cards to pay for most of it. Used very little of our own $. Dave would be so proud.
– Didn’t have to cook dinner and finished up some leftovers.
– Drank some wine and got a little giddy.
– Played Wii while giddy and still managed to beat Drew on baseball. I played until my triceps were screaming. Wii + intense yoga workout = OW.
– Slept in and enjoyed a great breakfast made by my wonderful hubby. And two cups of coffee. That makes for a great morning.
– Had some scrapbook inspiration, and although I didn’t actually get any pages done, I’m getting closer!
– Enjoyed dinner out while listening to a friend play live music.
– Had a good night’s sleep and actually feeling ready to tackle my week.
Happy Equinox!

Hermit?
Written by jamie on March 17th, 2011Some days I think my ideal life would be as a hermit. I am so tired of people and having the fake smile plastered on my face. I try to be as real as I can to everyone I meet, but there comes a time when professionalism must reign over my real mood. Many people probably don’t want to hear what I’m really thinking, because at this point in my week, there might be some expletives involved. I am tired.
I am an introvert. I reenergize from time spent alone. While I love time spent with friends, and a coffee date with one is often just what I need, my true recharging comes from solitude. I am thankful for quiet mornings that often give me just enough to get me through the day; however, I am to the point where I feel I need a whole month to completely refuel.
So although I know it can’t happen, I will dream of days and days of uninterrupted time spent cuddled under a blanket, never-ending supply of coffee in hand (without the crazy buzz), inspiring music in the background, and solitude.
- Comfy couch, cozy blanket, and a journal… all I need
Ah…..
