another something good. how could i forget?

today my husband did not have to work.
he brought me lunch & we ate outside.
then we took a walk by the river.
we kissed under a tree.
it was perfect.

something good

i am going tomorrow to houston to meet my bff's baby. he will be a month old.
i cannot wait to see both of them.
the long trip will be worth it.

something nice.

i don't have anything nice to say right now. i think i am super tired and not wanting to go to my second job. i would cancel if i could, but we need the money.

i also haven't exercised enough today, and i will not be home until way late, so running is not an option :(

the real reason i am complaining, probably, is because i had a realization today about how fat i am.
"fat" it is even a gross word. just to type it. yuck.
so i created a running schedule and i am sticking to it.
i have no choice.
blah.
so some posts will probably be about running and working out.
sorry in advance.

where are the woodchucks

i haven't seen them.

maybe they migrated.

or maybe it's because they know i am watching.

complaints

i work in public service. three things happened today that i didn't like.

1. woman on her cell phone (not supposed to be) on SPEAKER phone so that the whole room could hear...when i asked her to keep it down and take it off speaker, she said she didn't know how.
things to figure out before making a call...

2. a woman coming in and asking for something WHILE FLOSSING her teeth with one of those hand held picks. i couldn't look her in the face, and i almost got sick about it.

3 and third, WOW this is by far the worst one. guy walks up on his cell phone (see #1) and motions/mouths that he needs a pen. argh!! try putting that person on hold and then asking me politely if you could borrow a pen.
he then returned it and asked if he could keep it, "is it one of your free pens?"
we don't have free pens.
then he asked me if i could do something for him on my computer.
i told him they could do it at the front desk...he said, "oh, so you're just playing free cell"
i said "no" and wanted to say, " i am actually blogging about how rude you are."

potential

okay, so perhaps that was a bit overboard. but, seriously, i feel like i have a huge potential...without the possibility of expressing it. and if i am not pursuing it, am i only losing it?

what is this a time for?
learning? relaxing? praying? writing? reading?
only so much a sedentary me can take. blah.

nothing is ever good enough for me.

losing my potential

That's me in the corner
That's me in the harsh light
Losing my potential
Trying to keep my mind alive
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've read too much...
but I haven't read enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard your ring
I think she thought she saw me cry.
