Sorry for the lack of posts last week.
I was tired, extremely bitchy and lacking in patience so I felt it was best to give it a break. The one positive thing that went on was that I was busy. Very busy and so didn't have time to really release the wrath I would normally do under the circumstances...
Personally, I prefer to be busy because it makes me feel like I am useful. I cannot stand to feel like I am not contributing to the things going on around me or to be bored silly. I prefer to be involved and "on". This week will probably feel much the same so I really should be getting more sleep so that my brain is in gear.
I took some time today to finally read some of the posts on those blogs that I read with regularity. Today, I read Once Upon a Time which was posted on Audi's site. It discussed the whole "happy ever after" thing that girls are barraged with when they are little girls and how, when these same girls become adults, they are extremely disappointed by the fact that "Prince Charming" doesn't exist. I tend to agree. We hear stories when we are children and then grow up seeing the same kind of thing on telly and in the theatres and in books. She suggested that we sue the movie studios for emotional distress. Hmmm. Think we could get this stuff to stop? I've come to learn that that extreme romance doesn't exist and that we should just be looking for someone with whom we can feel comfortable with and who we know will treat us with respect. In return, we have to offer the same thing to the prospective partner.
Not that I've been thinking much about relationships lately, it just reminded me of some thoughts I'd had recently about the unrealistic portrayal of love in the media...
I heard that there had been an earthquake in the UK over the weekend. I was a little surprised because you don't often hear of this kind of thing happening there. I hadn't realized that the area was seismically active.
The weather was beautiful over the weekend and seems to be continuing into today. I went for a long walk with a friend on Saturday and it was lovely weather for walking. It was really great having such wonderful weather and great company for the two hours that we walked along the waterfront.
Tee will be coming back next week for a visit and I can't wait. Haven't seen him since December so I'll be looking forward to drinking laicha, going to karaoke and knowing that he'll be working on the next step to reach his goal. It's going to be fun and more than a little inspiring. See you next Monday!
I went to karaoke with some friends from school last week and had loads of fun. I just hope that next time they can stick around for longer... The rest of the weekend saw me getting some exercise, taking a friend out for driving practice because her test will be this week and drinking too much caffeine. No films although I am toying with the idea of seeing "Hot Fuzz" again if it's still playing when Tee arrives...
Not much else is really that new so I'll spare you the tedium however, things are looking up this week so hopefully, I get to posting more often.
In the meantime, have a great week everyone!
