My Life Thus Far

Kismet

I'm tired. Oh, so tired. You'll see why after you review
my day. Snookums had duty yesterday, so it was just me and
the girls. We got up, got moving. They went to their
respective daycares, I went to the gym and I did some
grocery shopping. Turns out I didn't really need to, but
I'd run out of Smart Ones meals and since I don't eat much
of anything else I was under the assumption that we needed
other things, too. But, we didn't. So now the house is
packed with two of everything. Two tubs of cream cheese
(both unopened), two tubs of butter, two family sized
bottles of ketchup, you get the idea. I didn't need to go
grocery shopping after all.

I stopped by Bryman to pick up some sample resumes. I
needed to do an updated resume for prospective extern
sites and Bryman wants it done just so. I'd asked for a
sample before, but they gave me the Medical Assistant
version. Anyway, they gave me a floppy disk with the whole
resume already done, I just had to cut and paste my
information into it, but it turns out my computer doesn't
take floppy disks. WHAT THE HELL? Have you ever heard of a
computer that doesn't take floppy disks? It will
accomadate 5 different sizes of memory cards, burn DVD's
and CD's, take CD-ROMS, but it won't take a damn floppy. I
was pissed. Thankfully they also gave me a paper example.
So, I was able to start from the top and write it out by
hand. A task I though would take 15 minutes ended up
taking well over an hour (I kept finding mistakes). It was
already late, because I had to pick the girls up, clean up
the house, do laundry, feed and change the girls, put them
to bed, put away the groceries, do the dishes and pack my
gym bag. It was after midnight, before I even made it to
bed and then I had a hard time drifting off to sleep. I
finally did some time after 1am only for the alarm to go
off 10 minutes later (or what seemed like 10 minutes
later) at 5am. So, I'm tired. Oh, so tired.

I bought a new book today that I'm really looking forward
to reading. It's a self-help book and I'm generally not
interested in those kind of reads, but this one struck me.
It was featured on Good Morning America this morning (I
was sweating away on the elliptical. I didn't hear what
they said about it, I had my headphones on. They showed
the cover, though) and the title piqued my interest. When
I stopped in Wal-mart (to pick up Annie's gummi bear
vitamins) they announced over the PA that it was available
in the book department. I figured this was kismet. It had
been brought to my attention twice in one day, I had to at
least check it out. So, I moseyed on over to the book
department and I got the last copy. Yep, definitely
kismet. It's called Bad Childhood, Good Life: How to
Blossom and Thrive in Spite of an Unhappy Childhood by Dr.
Laura Schlessinger. I opened the front cover, read the
jacket and the dedication. She dedicated the book "To all
of you who must take this journey." Seeing as how I was 2
touching words away from breaking into tears in the middle
of Wal-mart, I just accepted that I was meant to buy this
book and read it cover to cover and implement it in my
life. After I finish the book I'm reading now, of course.

I must be going. I'm very ready for lunch. Working out
definitely has done something to my appetite. I want to
eat more. Hmmm? I wonder why? :) Ciao!
