So Good, So Easy

*****

"Our judgements, even concerning ordinary things, are
frequently clouded by our emotions. For example, we often
see the actions of our loved ones-even if they are harmful-
as wonderful, whereas we judge even the positive actions
of a person we dislike as pretentious and false.

We cannot rely upon our perceptions; it is a fact that we
misapprehend many situations. If this is a general fact,
how can we still stubornly maintain that our perceptions
about our own spiritual masters must be true?"

I'm running out of interesting things to say. My life has
been so good, so easy lately, that I have nothing new or
exciting to write about. No wonder no one gives me
feedback anymore. I'm boring...

My workout was good today. For some reason I was really
sweaty. More so than usual. I don't get it. I didn't feel
like I was working any harder, but apparently I was,
because there was hardly a dry spot on my shirt. My new
running shoes worked out great. They offer a lot of
support. To be perfectly honest, I prefered my old shoes,
but since they no longer make those shoes, I've got to
settle for the latest and greatest. It's not like I bought
crap.

Gen and I went to the mall today. But since I was just
there last week, I didn't buy much. Just a bottle of
Pumpkin scented room spray from Bath and Body Works
(pumpkin is my ALL TIME favorite fall scent!) Gen bought
pretty much what I got last week. 4 fragrance oils and 2
warmers (the warmers were free with the purchase of two
oils, who can beat that?) After the mall we went to
Michael's (my happy place!) I messed up the project I was
working on for Annie, so I had to pick up some more
supplies. I also ended up with some really cool yarn that
fit Annie's personality perfectly. I'm going to make her a
scarf and hat set. If there's any yarn left when I'm done,
I'll make Kiki a little hat, too. She's too little for a
scarf.

Gen and I parted ways after Michael's, but it was still
too early to get the girls, so I stopped in Ross. Kiki
only has one pair of shoes that fit her well, so I thought
I'd check out what they had. I ended up getting her 3 new
outfits and a pair of Dora the Explorer shoes (all for
under $40). It was a good find, too, because they only had
the one pair in her size.

When we got home, there was a message on the answering
machine. You'll never guess who it was...The manager of
Victoria's Secret! I've got an interview for tomorrow at
2:30pm! I feel a little bad, because I was going to go to
Gen's doctor's appointment with her, but I didn't want to
look unprofessional by saying "No, I can't be there." Does
that make me a terrible friend? I hope not. I volunteered
to help out in Annie's classroom on Tuesday afternoons,
from 1-2:15pm too, so I'm going to have a little time
crunch getting there. I'll just have to leave a little
earlier.

To be quite honest, I'm a little up in the air as to
whether or not I actually want the job. Snookums is
totally stoked. He wants me to get it so I can be
his "little Angel". I'm far from a Victoria's Angel. Heidi
Klum, I am not. But, it would be kind of fun getting to
see all the new lingerie first. It certainly doesn't look
like hard work. I'll get to wear cute outfits and wear a
black apron. Well, the black apron isn't that cute, but
it's got it's own kind of prestige (in the mall, at
least). Maybe this is a good thing. Or, I'll end up
quiting because Kiki will start getting sick again.

Speaking of sick, I got a call from Kiki's daycare today.
They gave her orange slices for snack and she got a rash
all around her mouth. The telltale signs of allergic
reaction. She's had oranges before, I don't know why she'd
have a reaction now. She's so fragile.

Snookums says we can try to have another baby when he gets
home. Part of me is kind of excited, but there's a small
section of my brain that's a little scared. Having another
baby would change our life. I'm not big on change. So,
it's a little frightening for me. I still have 3 weeks to
think about it, though. I want another baby, but I'll kind
of miss Snookums being here for the pregnancy. He'll be
gone for 6 months of it. I'll think about it some more
before I even consider letting him touch me.

I've got dishes to do. Snookums isn't here to take care of
them, so it's on me. I've got crafting to do, too! Yeah!
Ciao.
