My mind is is swamped. I need to write it all down but I can't do it fast enough. I keep thinking all of the thoughts over and over in hopes that I won't forget anything and all the while, I am showering, folding laundry and scooting a little one back to bed.
It's par for the course this week.
I had plans to meet up with someone I'm writing a piece on Tuesday night. I was early and decided to treat myself to a Starbucks Venti Anniversary Blend. As I sat in my car waiting for her, I spilled half of the coffee ALL OVER MY LAP. Thank goodness I learned the power of baby wipes four years ago and I try to keep them in the car. I laughed to myself as I was cleaning up thinking about what a klutz I am and wondering how I was going to explain this to a person I was meeting for the first time. First impressions really are important and she could think that I was a total mess or (fingers crossed) understand that I am just a dork. Yes, dork was a better option in this situation.
She pulled in and I grabbed by bag, locked up the car and met her at the door. As she apologized for running a few minutes late, I said something like, " I hope you like the smell of coffee because I just spilled 1/2 a cup in my lap". That was it.....ice broken.
The interview was easy going and wonderful. I'm still in the midst of putting the piece together but I will be sure to share it on here once it's complete. Diane's business is focused on good food and teaching people how to incorporate it into their lives. Can you see any possible reason we'd get along?
I left the interview to discover that my phone didn't work. I stopped at Verizon on the way home to try to get it fixed but they determined at it was dead and had to send out a new one. I got home around 10pm to a sleeping family and Chinese food in the fridge (steamed veggies, tofu & rice). I warmed up a small bowl and ate it while I checked my e-mail and caught up on Facebook.
This week at work, we were doing soil testing. I don't mind it since it's a break from the office but no matter what I did, sprayed. wore, the mosquitoes found me and by the end of the week, I had been bitten in almost every place possible. If that wasn't enough to tucker me out, I had the aforementioned interview, invites to get ready for an upcoming lia show, had to re-secure Giada's 'listening ears' , 16 phone calls to the cable company, plus all of the general household stuff like dinner, cleaning and laundry. I get it. There are people that have more going on than me and I bring some of this on myself but this week kicked my a**.
You'd think that Friday would have brought some relief but you'd be wrong. I had to race out of work to get Giada and be home in time for the cable guy. Unbelievably, he was here at 2pm for a 'between 2 & 5" appointment and although he couldn't solve the ongoing issue, he was able to identify it and be on his way by 3pm promising it would be solved early next week. As soon as he was gone, Kris called to let me know he was meeting friends for a drink and asked me to meet him there after I was done with my errands....before we had to sub for my parents in their bowling league.
I have my....well, everything, crossed in hopes that next week will be a bit calmer.
