Time keeps on slipping....

RAMBLER'S NOTE: I've changed the layout of my blog a little bit, so that I don't have entire pages upon pages all showing on one page. AKA: you have to click the "More Rambling..." link to read the entire excerpt.

Work. Work. Work.

Blagh. Weeks are so boring during the summer. Weekends are where all the fun happens.

This past weekend, Keeper and I had a pretty awesome grill-out with a few friends, did some flyering at a NASCAR race, and went to a Strawberry Festival.

On Friday, I got to try making burgers for the first time, and I also made my home-made mashed potatoes. Keeper made a grilled-veggie mix, and our friends brought oreos, chips, and soda. It was a pretty good time. We grilled out on the rooftop, and when our food was done being cooked, we brought it all down to the apartment to eat and relax. We ended up the night by playing Perplexcity, which is easily becoming one of my favorite games!

Kamikaze Come Over Me

Life has been.... interesting... as of late.

I have noticed that I listen to music less often. This is rather strange, given that I used to need music constantly, else I would start to get antsy and need to get to a computer or a radio or anything that would make noise. There have been lots of things that have been making noise right outside my home. Construction on the parking structure, thunderstorms, and traffic as always... And of course, there's noises in the house, what with living with four cats, and both Keeper and I playing video games. The lack of music is curious to me. I do not want to lose the joy and passion of music that I have/had.....

Wrong side of... well.... Everything.

Allergies. I hate them. And apparently I have them. Sitting in my office, sniffling, this is just irritating me.

Really, it probably wouldn't be irritating me at all normally. But today has just not started off well at all. I didn't sleep well. I had a particularly hard time even falling asleep last night. I woke up to an alarm, and I really didn't want to wake up just yet. I had completely forgot about the movie screening that I'm doing today. I took a shower late. I caused Keeper to be late for work. When we were almost at work, I thought I forgot my keys, so I ran home again to find them, only to find that my keys were not there. They were in my backpack, which was now at work. I got to work (now 15 minutes late) and took Keeper's keys back down to him, but then forgot to grab the phone charge-cord from him, because my phone was only at 30%. He brought it up about 5 minutes later, and now my phone's charging (thank godz) so that it doesn't die while I work this screening today. Now I just have to remember to breathe....

New Times Inc.

Hm. Well. Where to begin. Wow that word looks like it's wrong. Begin. Begin. Begin. Nope. Still looks wrong.

Anywho.

Life is... well... it's progressing. Keeper and I are doing better and better every day. E. and I are getting better as well. The cats are doing swell. The boys are still ripping up any wooden object in the house, which is driving me insane. Not that the girls are exactly little angels. But they're not scratching on everything.

My mother recently became a part of my life again... In a small way... But I truly feel that that's all I can handle at the current time. She is trying to be supportive, and I truly appreciate that. She and Keeper don't know how to react to each other just yet, I think. Heck, I don't even know how to react to it all yet.

In my last post, I raved and ranted about my Captain Bluebear book, and expressed an interest in getting the other books. Well, my mother has graciously sent me one of those books, as well as some other books, some of which I have yet to receive. I do so love to read, but am still unsure how to react to this act of kindness.

I have a slight headache at the moment, and I hope it goes away soon. Keeper and I are planning a good weekend with some friends, and I really want everything to be as fun as possible. I know it's only Thursday, but still.

I feel as though life is good right now. There are games to be played, people to be laughing with, cats to be cuddled, and a love that is truly worth cherishing every moment of. Life is indeed good. :)

Oh! And one last thing:

MMMMM WATERMELON JUICE. ;)
