Disney, Here We Come!!

So I did it - I booked the room (All-Star Movies) for me and Bryanna for May 11-15!! And the airlne. And the ground transportation. All I have to do is decide if we stay in Baltimore or just get up early and head to the airport. Yippee! She will be totally shocked since she won't find out until the night before.

Only 78 days!

"I Don't Like Mondays"

This is a great song - by the Boomtown Rats. I think I'll have to download it to my Itunes. I ended up starting a myspace page. One of my best friends from high school has one, and she was searching to find our other best friend from high school. And we found her - through her youngest daughter. Now, if this daughter was mine, I'd be having some words with her. She is way over the top. Anyway, I send the daughter an e-mail and asked her to give it to her mom and have her mom get in touch with me. The three of us used to have so much fun. It would be fun to get together again.

So I've been e-mailing Music Boy. We've hinted around to get together. But nothing yet. It's frustrating. I think we could have some fun together. He doesn't always check his e-mail, though, so...

So Married Boyfriend is soon to be No-Longer-Married Boyfriend. He and the wife are getting divorced. Apparently he got sick of her crap and decided that was it. But he's moving to New Jersey, so it's not like anything will happen there. It's kind of funny - we've talked about going out if he wasn't married, and now that's he's ending things, he hasn't called me or anything. Oh, well.

And Surfer Boy - well, he's getting married. To some new chick. Of course, when I found out, my first thought was "is she pregnant?" He was with his ex for several years, so I wasn't expecting this new situation. I wonder what really caused this marriage. I'm glad things didn't go further with him. It wouldn't have been a pretty thing.

The Goat Overview

So here's my Chinese horoscope for the year:

Provided by Astrology.com

This year you'll benefit from excellent astral influxes. You'll know how to profit by life and by all the events it brings about. You'll achieve most of your dearest projects. However, you'll sometimes have to cope with questions that may perhaps be brutal and painful but that will bring about a definite improvement of your attitude and of your heart. Submit yourself graciously to such astral influences, do not shirk them. You might pretty often happen to be too idealistic, to the point of losing your sense of reality and consequently exposing yourself to deceptions you'll find hard to endure. Try to have better balanced views of people and things. In order to protect yourself against sorrow and discouragement provoked by other people's demeanor that you will deem deplorable, remind yourself that man could be everything but reasonable.

Sundays

I used to like Sundays. Usually I wouldn't have much going on so I could relax and sleep in and do things around the house. Now it's such a frantic pace to get ready for work. And right now, the thought of heading to work isn't a very pleasing one. Only because I feel like I shouldn't be there, but back in MN. Tomorrow Bonnie is meeting the critical care team and the geriatric doctor. Then we might know more about what is going on with Dad and how much time he has left. Then I can make some plans.

I made a few calls today - to some of the cousins on my dad's side. It was rough, but it also got me thinking. Why does it take something like this to get in contact with people? One of my cousins lives close to me, yet we haven't seen each other in quite some time. Why is that?

I had my crop today, and that was nice. It gave me something else to focus on. I really like my croppers and we always have a good time. I got quite a lot done, and am almost on track for the year. I decided my football album won't have the same theme throughout, so now maybe I can get motivated to work on it. I have to figure out what to work on at Jeanette's retreat this coming up weekend, so hopefully I can get most of that done.
