Pleasant Valley Sunday

Here are some things I learned this weekend (I'm including Friday as "weekend"):

1. If really pressed, I would have trouble spending money. It reaffirms my feelings that I should win the lottery because all that money wouldn't spoil me! :)
   
2. When it rains, it pours. (kitchen sink clogged, fire alarm went off and door almost blew off the hinges and I was out of ice cubes all within 25 minutes)
3. If I put my mind to it, I can get things done. So, I could do it, I just don't want to! :)
   
4. No matter how much I think I'm getting accomplished, it doesn't look any different around here.
5. I AM in the Christmas spirit.
6. I'm becoming a bitter, "set in my ways" old woman!
7. I can totally lose time in a day watching t.v or turning on my home computer.
8. I am ready to be a "mom". Now I just have to go pick kittens out. (I'm already planning their names! :) )
   
9. Pictures reaffirm that college really is the best time of your life.
10. I am always thankful for the help around the house, but sometimes it would be better (read- less stressful) if I just did it myself.
11. It's December. (That's more for me than you guys. I just "realized" it is December and I'm pressed for time with mom's birthday present AND Christmas for mom and dad.)
12. It's really disappointing when you get all settled in to watch Miracle on 34th Street and it ends up being the stupid color version!
    
13. Sometimes you can pick up the phone and talk to a friend you haven't seen or talked to in awhile and pick up right where you left off.
14. Spending a day in your pajamas is AWESOME!
15. Palm trees always make me smile.
16. I am stubborn. I KNOW I am allergic to pine trees. I know they hurt my head and thank goodness I remembered ENOUGH to not buy inside pine, but I don't know why I thought the wreath I bought wouldn't bother me in the car on the way home. I do this quite often in my life and you'd think I'd remember it, but I don't
17. I like living in a cave. Funny, coming from someone who'd rather be in a sunny, warm state. Now that I bought my thick, thermal curtains my house is so nice and dark. Could for cocooning.
18. I'm selfish. I keep thinking "I want" and really believe I should have. I think my Christmas list could be 10 pages long this year!
19. I'm a snob. I'm trying so hard to let go at work, but I'm feeling like a Square Peg in round hole. (BTW, I LOVED that t.v. show!)
20. There is no joy in my job anymore. I just don't feel happy about going to work or being at work like I used to. I'm hoping this changes. I'm hoping it's just a growing pain and a result of being in a new place and change. I'm kind of secretly hoping it leads to joy in another aspect of my life. The "one door closes, another opens" mentality I guess.
