Leave of Absence*

Can you take one from stuff? Just stuff. I'm tired of going, going, going, making lists and having 7 million things to accomplish every day. Every single day there's something else. CAN I JUST SIT DOWN FOR A MINUTE!?!?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. I'm just glad that for this moment, I don't have a boyfriend, or a husband, or kids, or anyone who MUST HAVE my time. Phew. That really is a relief. Work and other stuff is demanding enough. Watching "Spanglish" again. This is such a good movie. Love it.

I'm also getting to the really good part of the book Middle.sex. Muy interessant. Why is this book 529 pages, though? Lengthy much? Still about 150-200 pages left. I couldn't write a book this long. I'd want people to finish whatever I wrote. I'm not a good fiction writer, anyway unless it's based on my life. Write what you know, right? That's the only way I can do it.

Sigh.

Life calls. Again. (Grateful to have one unencumbered with cares more pressing than a to do list).



*I know you didn't think I was talking about blogging. I already talk too much and who else will listen to all this? I love my captive audience. MINE!! ALL MINE!! This was my 100th post of the year!! Yay!! That's as many posts as all of last year.

Congrats on the 100th post. I feel you on having too much to do. I'm trying to get organized for the potential move and I'm looking around like "I ain't got a husband or kids! Why I got all this stuff to do!?!?"

Cause you would think this much shit has to be for another person.

i thought you were talking about l.o.a from blogging at first...

i say just sit down. what will happen if you don't get to the gym today? i mean, i don't know what your list entails but girl, just sit :-)

dreamyj said...

i also love spanglish! and i want to read middlesex also, my mom and i were talking about that book a couple of nights ago.

Jameil said...

gc... go immediately!

stace... the gym is rarely one of those don't have time things or taking up space on the list things. if i don't want to go today, then i get in the next day. no biggie.

dreamy... middlesex is worth reading but carve out a week of your life. its a bit of a slow read at times.
