i have felt guilty for not blogging lately, so now i am ~ partly to ease my guilt, and partly because i am just plain bored. its guy's night out = girl's night alone part 2. i have finished my bubble bath and am eating a bowl of heavenly hash ice cream, which is simply divine. i have pondered the idea of going to bed, but am not even a little bit tired. so here i sit, at our newly re-decorated desk, in our newly aquired comfy chair, listening to the rain outside, which reminds me of home.
i recently got sick and tired of the piles of junk on our desk and spent an entire afternoon going through and sorting it, and trying to make our desk look nice by putting framed pictures and other interesting things on it. we have a very heavy glass paperweight of jesus' face. that's one of the most interesting things. we also have an odd sort of colorful, blown glass-vase-type-thingy that serves no real purpose except to look interesting and hippyish. my mom recently sent me a photo of me and my big brother when we were little. i love it so much that i framed it and put it on our desk. i am all pretty in a little red jumper and a matching barrette and andy fondly has his arm around me, while his other hand hovers dangerously near his crotch. we are posing in front of the fireplace of our old house, which had burgundy colored carpets (clashes a bit with my dress, actually, but i don't think i really cared at that age.) i like it because andy has a great big smile on his face, looking really proud and i look blissfully content. i wonder, when exactly do we lose the carefree feelings of childhood and allow ugly things like worry to enter our minds?
tomorrow is saturday and i am working at the library right in the middle of the day. one nice thing about being on call is that you can say no to working if you have reason to (i had no reason to say no except its SATURDAY, for crying out loud!) the bad thing about being on call is that you never know when they're going to strike. you could be happily planning your day's events, when suddenly the phone will ring, and just like that, you cannot do what you had planned. it sucks, really. but i can't complain because its WORK and that is GOOD, but....its SATURDAY!!
4 more sleeps till my mom is here!

When I read the line "i have pondered the idea of going to bed, but am not even a little bit tired," I chuckled cause it seems I usually find myslef in some degree of tiredness most of the time. Ah, but it is good...there is a reason...I am a mom...what a priveledge.
