Friday!

Yeah! Even for stay at home mom's, there is something about Friday that feels so good! Although, I did not go lap swimming all week. Well, I take that back, I went Wednesday, but it was cancelled. As I got in to my car that morning at 5:20 am, pulled up to the high school, got out of my car, walked up to the door, and noticed a sign that said, "Pool Problem, Lap Swim Cancelled". Nice.

I worked last night waitressing, and I was non-stop moving from 5-9:40pm. It was just steady, and I went right from waitressing to closing down. I don't mind cleaning up there, it's just the vacuuming that is the ultimate worst! It is a huge area to clean, and on top of it, the vacuum is like trying to push a small man in a chair across the carpet. And then you have to move all the tables and chairs...just talking about it makes me cringe!

And then I left there with that feeling of, "Did I leave something on? Coffee pots? Lights? Did I clean well enough?" Because if I did do something wrong, it will for sure be ever so "politely" commented on by the morning staff and long time owner. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but there are some really negative, gossipy people there, and it drives me bonkers!

But anyway, so I tried getting up to go swimming today, but I was still not sleeping at midnight, and when the alarm went off this morning at 5am, I just could not bring myself to get up! And then I milked the rest of my sleep until 8 am, even though I clearly could hear all of my children up at 7:30am!

Tonight we celebrate Halle and Brady's birthdays with the family, so that will be fun! OH! I also, for my birthday, got tickets to the U2 concert in Chicago! I am so excited! I am going to bring my brother (who lives in Chicago), he's going to pay for my flight for my birthday, and I think it is going to be amazing! It is at Soldier Field, and it's an open stadium! I have been to two other U2 concerts, but being outdoors will feel amazing, I just know it!

Well, the sun is out, so that looks promising! Awesome!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
