Dagnabbit! I must be writing posts in my dreams.

I could have sworn that I had posted about what I did during Memorial Weekend but I don't see anything about it here. I worry, sometimes, that I'm losing my marbles. Anyhow, I want to let you know that one of the fun things I did over the weekend (in addition to house sitting and taking care of some really cute puppies and kitties) was to go see the new "Star Trek" movie. It was awesome! The first half was amazing and the second half was really good (it slowed down a bit so it doesn't get a totally amazing throughout review). J. J. Abrams rocks! I'd add details but I need to go to bed soon.

Tonight, after work, I walked to my car experiencing the beauty of Spring. It was cool, and rain was misting into my face, but it was just lovely and I wanted to share that with you.

Finally, I want to add my voice to the dismay, disappointment, and outrage over the CA Supreme Court upholding Prop. 8. I wasn't listening to NPR today, so I didn't get the details, but I noticed an article about it when I got online a short time ago. I know that sometimes judges have to vote for something they don't like because it's, technically, legal but I am saddened that hate & discrimination have been upheld.

So, do you ever feel like there aren't enough hours in a day?

Hmmmm, it's been three weeks since my last post. Where does the time go? I've been working a lot of different hours and participating in social events. I thought I had posted on here since I saw Rising Tide perform (loved the concert!, btw) but, since that was May 6th and my last post was May 3rd, I realize that wasn't correct. Oh, well. There really isn't a good way to fit emailing/blogging into my morning routine (I'm still trying to figure out how to put my 15 minute walk back into it. That got blitzed when I was sick.) and when I get home at night I prepare for the next day. Once I'm done, it's usually time for bed, or a snack, some TV, and bed. I've been limiting my TV watching, though, and that's allowed me to get more done, but it's still hard to hop online. At some point I'll kvetch about the movie ("Wolverine") & season finales ("CSI: Miami" springs instantly to mind) I've seen lately and thought were "eh". On the other hand, "Dollhouse" and "How I Met Your Mother" had great finales! I almost can't wait for next season. :)

I got new sneakers!

I did a lot (for me) of clothes shopping this weekend. I spent a couple of hours at Goodwill yesterday and came home with a cute pair of jeans and two dressier (than normal for me) tops for just $10. Today I went to JCPenny and, using a $20 mall gift certificate along with a leftover balance on a gift card from Aunt Nancy & Uncle Robert, got a pair of $50 sneakers that were on sale without having to pay any money out of pocket. I'm really glad I had that opportunity.
