All hail the "Night O'Me"

I turned down a dinner invitation so that I could have one night here at home, with no tv, and a to do list a mile long. The problem is I can't find my three hole punch and made a promise that I wouldn't actually go and buy anything at all this week so I am flippin' out trying to remember where I hid the thing so it wouldn't fall on my head as I was pulling binders down from the shelf in the closet. I couldn't remember my ATM pin the other night either. Something is happening with my brain. I am definately not reading enough or writing anything substanative.

I have cleaning to do (obviously) and really should get to it. All I know is I am just plain tired from being on the go for the past six months. I hardly eat at home anymore and I have gained over 10 pounds because of it. Its scarey and I need to be better about some excersizing as well.

The sun has gone down and now the house will cool off, I have the a/c dude coming out this weekend to finish the job which is really thrilling. I can't wait to have a house that doesn't get over 70 degrees ever. Thrilling actually.

Spent the weekend with the gaggle of cousins. It was actually pretty damn super. I think honestly now that we have all grown up we can get along and talk about our lives, have interest in one another and genuinely care about each other. It was really pretty great to get that opportunity. Family pretty much rules. I know it sounds super Pollyana but really, I do think so. I think I am pretty lucky to have the family that I do. Sure there are somethings that go on with some people that I can't stand or agree with, but for the most part (98.5% of it) its all really pretty great. And what was really so very interesting for me to sit back and look at, we are really are very different, all really interesting individuals with really interesting lives. It was fun to sit back and think about that yesterday afternoon.

So back to "night o'me". I have to find that damned three hole punch and vacume. But I am thrilled to be able to do it.
