The Heat Is On

Last night it is was actually cold enough to turn on the heat. It is a little sad because I know the snow is coming and I am not prepared.

Anyway, I have some catching up to do. I have been very busy working on my life for the last couple weeks. I had a great first week. I was focus and meditating every day. I got very busy the second week but still managed to meditate at least 3 times. As the second week came to end, I was politely reminded by my co-workers that Josh offered our house for a BBQ and they would like to call in the request. So, I planned a menu (ribs, deviled eggs, mac & cheese, baked beans, salad, pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie with pecan crumble, and cherry pie), grocery shopped, and prepped anything I could before last Friday night. I got up bright and early Saturday morning to head to Glendale Days which is a huge craft fair. The plan was to meet at Margie's at 8:15 so we could be at breakfast at a co-workers Mother-in-Laws house at 9. This was the plan until I ruined it with frustration.

Here is what happened...I was up and in the shower on time. As I got out of the shower, I woke Josh up and he bailed which was okay even though I hate last minute cancels. I finished getting ready and headed out the door with a vague knowledge of where I was going. As I drove around town, a vague knowledge turned into slight confusion which turned into utter confusion. My confusion turned into frustration which almost had me turning home. Finally, I pulled over to gain control of the situation. I googled (LOVE my Blackberry Curve!) where I was going and headed on my way. I should point out the entire driving ordeal was 45 minutes. Once I was able to recognize where my frustration was coming from (life stress, hunger, irritation at my lack of knowledge and tardiness) the day turn around quickly. I spent the next 6 or 7 hrs gabbing with Margie, searching through three antique barns for who knows what, and contemplating the exact definition of a craft. I snubbed the non-crafters. I need a shirt that says "I snub non-crafters". Cindy, you would have made a killing at this craft fair because there was nothing like what you have to offer.

After an exhausted day, I went home to baked pies. I finally got to bed around 1 AM. I woke up around 8 to get the ribs going and do some cleaning touch ups on the house. I had everything ready at 12:30 and the guys showed up 1 so I did very well. I tried Knob Creek Whiskey. It gave me chilled literally. I think everyone left around 5 or 6. Josh and I took a ride in his new Honda Element which he purchased on Saturday. By the time we got home I was so exhausted I went to bed.

The End....
