…discovering there’s more to life than being the mommy
Don’t you just love when one day, a character on your favorite show is 3 years old, then the next day he/she is 15?!
It happens all the time on soaps…especially Days of Our Lives. I don’t think the writers have given this much thought though. I’ve been watching Days for almost 15 years. Since then I’ve watched many children grow up overnight, literally! But there is one who has stayed young while all the children around have become adults.
I think this weekend will be busy! I have to work in the yard and plant my bushes before they die in the pots. I also have to work on getting my mom’s computer upgraded and running. And of course there’s laundry to do. That never ends. 
It will be a fun-filled weekend, then back to the grind. I’ve been so busy at work this week on a project that I haven’t had time to do much of anything. When I get home, I have no desire to get on the computer so I watch my soaps instead.
I’ve started watching All My Children. It is pretty good. I usually watch it at night…it comes on at 7pm CST on SoapNet or on Sunday I watch the Marathon (all 5 shows for the week). I am getting hooked but since I just started, I’m not familiar with the history of all the characters yet. Who are my favorites? I am liking Greenlee/Leo and the Maria storyline with Brooke and Edmund is pretty interesting, although I get confused at times…I know those characters have a lot of history that I am unfamiliar with. I’m not liking Kendall. The actress just doesn’t do anything for me. I’m curious as to what David’s involvement with Maria is. What are his motives for keeping her away from Pine Valley? There is so much I don’t understand, I guess I will have to start searching the web and reading about the past storylines to get familiar with it all.
I’ve been so slow lately. I’m extremely tired, lately it seems like I’m always tired. As if I am not getting enough sleep. It’s not like I’m going to bed any later, but it actually doesn’t matter when I go to bed and when I wake up…I’m still tired. I guess I need to get out and do more…exercise or at least something more active. Maybe that will help boost my energy level. I haven’t been eating bad either. I feel like I’ve been eating fairly healthy. Maybe it’s just old age creeping up on me or something…heehee…at 27?! Yeah right…I’m just not fit I guess and it’s making me tired. Argh!
Sometimes it’s the simple things that give us great pleasure. At work I use SQL Server for our database. There is a program in that suite that allows me to make script changes directly to the database. When I close the script, it always prompts asking me if I want to save the script to a file. I always say no, but it is so annoying. Today I just found the setting in options to turn off that save prompt. It’s so exciting! See, sometimes, it’s the simple things bring us such joy.
I watched Lord of the Rings last night. It was great! I was left wanting to know what happens next, so I guess I will have to watch the next one as well…or read the books. They’ve been on our bookshelf for several years and haven’t been opened, much less read. Who knows…I may get a bug.
Over the weekend, we went to see K-19 on the big screen. It was pretty good. I like those sub movies. I guess I just like war movies and this was one of them, sort of. Anyway, I would definitely see it again.
I’m leaving tomorrow for Gainesville. We are going down to help my sister-in-law move into her new place. Should be fun. But I won’t have access to a computer to post anything so I’ll be away for a few days…we don’t get back till Monday.
Lately, I’ve been in a non-computer mood, so I haven’t done much site wise. I wanted to update my layout and redo the photo section. I think I will make the photo section similar to the main site with regular posts, instead of category type posts.
I’m also playing around with the idea of adding a sidebar section for verse of the moment, where I can post a song verse or maybe just a few lines that really move me in some way. I’ll make sure to post the song and artist in case anyone is interested in where I got those particular lines.
But for now…it’s slow going as I’m on a “vacation” from being stuck to the computer all the time. I’m spending more time reading which I’m loving.
