Yo! I am back everyone. I know that many of you are checking back every day to see what I've said and how things are going in the saga of life and you are crushed to find that there are no updates on the Fabulous Miss S. Well, I'll tell you, I took the weekend off! From everything! I slept and read a book, played with the kitties and sat around with Marc.
Marc is out of town for work for a few days, to return tomorrow. I'm trying to cram in everything "me time" related, like, watching certain television shows, sitting on the sofa in the den. <Note to Marc: We are going to switch up where we sit at night, this sofa is comfy!> Problem is ... I'm damn tired.
All my children slept with me last night. Guinness on my head, Gromit curled up by my face, and Sofie at my feet. It was so sweet.
I potentially redeemed myself at work today by providing a number summary of facts. I was soooper busy today too! Fabulous Miss Multi-task I was.
I've been using my Breville Grill for cooking food ALOT lately. I love it! Thanks Uncle Shelley!!! Tonight I made grilled lemon sole and sauteed leeks. Yesterday I grilled vegetables for a grilled veggie wrap. I wonder what else I can grill?? It's nice to enjoy cooking again. I haven't had time or energy to cook in the evenings now for a long time. I really miss it. I feel like one of my duties in my relationship is to give Marc a good dinner. Not EVERY day, but, frequently. I really like making healthy food for the people I love. I enjoy feeding people. It really makes me feel like a failure when I can't do that simple thing for him. <Note to self: next job needs to have normal hours allowing me home by 6pm to make dinner for my family.>
I'm so happy to be posting again! I didn't realize how intensely anxious I was over the weekend, and last week too. It's important to me to carve out time for myself. Clearly, being awake at 2am on a Tuesday, er, well, Wednesday isn't the healthiest way to have time for myself, but.... I'm planning on working out with Sarah after work tomorrow. And, last night - hung out with Sarah. We ate pizza, talked girlie things, ate cupcakes with chemically-enhanced icing.
Fabulous Ant J sent back some citrus from Florida for me! I have a box of all kinds of FRESH citrus. I will be free of scurvy now for at least six months!
I would like to announce the OFFICIAL START of Stacy's Birthday Week Extravaganza. In just five days I will be five days closer to being (shhh!) thirty. No. Seriously though, I'm feeling very much that the carefree-whatever days of my early twenties are GONE. gone with the wind they are! I'm feeling that I need to think about my future. Am I in a job I want to be in? I'm actually feeling how fast life can happen and I don't want to waste time. Not that any time has been wasted so far, but, rather, I want to make the absolute best of each day to come. GOD. That sounds cheesy. What I really mean is that I want to be done fucking around with stupid jobs, childish fantasies (except that one I have about swimming with dolphins and playing with a Great Ape) and focus on things like, my 401K, buying a home, and being the person I want to be. I like who I am, but I want to be an even better me. I read in Women's Health magazine that the average American woman has her first child at age 25. Whooops! Guess I missed that one. Little weird. I'm not feeling totally behind or anything. Yet. But, come on Marc, can I puh-lease have an expensive bird that will talk to me? a puppy of my own? can we buy a real house? can I have a baby? I'd also settle for a TiVo, in place of all of the above. But hey - I'm 25 until SUNDAY, so I guess dumb-ass requests like this can fly for a few more days. Ah ... innocence.
