Nothing really exciting is going on in my life right now. We’re trying to get from one snow storm to the next here in Massachusetts. We’ve had such mild winters lately that I’ve forgotten what -10 degrees feels like. I have about 3 feet of standing snow in my backyard, and their projecting another storm for mid week. I end up layering my clothes, because everyone has the heat cranked up. It’s really uncomfortable to wear a t-shirt under a sweater, under a sweatshirt, with my winter coat. Ugh. Tuesday is ground hog’s day. I don’t care what the darned thing sees or not sees, I will go crazy with another 6 weeks of winter!
I’ve gotten back in my regular routine now that 2009 is in full swing, and the most exciting thing I do is grocery shop at 11:30 pm, right before Stop and Shop closes. I find that I can get in and out of the store really quickly at that time, and since the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson doesn’t start until 12:35 am, what else am I going to do at 11:30 pm?
I’m still trying to figure out my calling. The more people I ask about how they figured out their calling, the more questions I end up asking myself. Maybe my calling is to figure out what my calling is?
A musing on life: Life has become totally upside down when friends of my mom’s (and her age) are telling me to make them a friend of mine on Facebook. Yeah, that’s just what I need, information about me getting back to my parents via Facebook. If my mom or dad want to know what I’m up to, they have a couple of options. They can pick up the phone and call me, or can get a Facebook account themselves. It’s bad enough that my brother Dave has started posting family pictures.
I started reading C.S.Lewis. I think I’m going to kill Faye, who suggested that this reading would be interesting. Cross this off my New Year’s Resolutions. I’d rather wear a mouth guard because of lock jaw. Oh wait. I do wear a mouth guard because of lock jaw. Any suggestions on how to get into reading something that is really hard to get started reading?
I guess I should be happy that the New England sports teams are actually doing well now. The Red Sox begin Spring Training in Ft. Myers, FL in less than three weeks. YEAH! The Boston Celtics basketball team are doing well, but the Boston Bruins hockey team are in first place, and are SO much fun to watch!
Oh and to top it all off, I have a sinus infection, and it took 4 days for the anti-biotic to begin working. I’m still really tired, but at least I don’t have pneumonia again, like my cousin Staci does. Poor thing. She’s really sick and is a stay at home mom. She has a great husband, who was able to take off of work, but Staci’s alone and sick with the kids again. Oh the joys and pitfalls of being a parent! Get well soon Stace!
