the end of vacation

It's finally here. The end of spring break. It went by fast but at the same time it seems like its been ages since we've had school.

We did make it to the beach on Monday. Good times. Other than that, we've been hanging around the house like we always do.

I've been rewatching the first two seasons of lost, and I'm on the last disc of season 2 now. It was hard to do anything this past week because of watching it. I had to do cleaning and everything else in the living room or kitchen so I wouldn't miss it.

Turning it off was out of the question. I kept telling myself that I didn't have to finish it, but to stop in the middle would have driven me crazy.


I've decided to turn over a new leaf...I have many pet peeves, one of which is my annoyance at non communication. I had a minor incident a few weeks ago which made me think I'm a ridiculous perfectionist, then today I had another thing and now I'm really discouraged at my efforts because I am so freaking mad but at the same time, I've decided to just be me, minor annoyances and all.

I just really don't get people. I don't know why they say one thing and then it changes at the last minute, but...there was no change of plans. That, I can deal with. If there is a rule, I want to know the rule right away. I hate to waste my time, especially a whole week of planning something to only have it thrown out the window at the last second, and all because someone didn't tell me something.

Ugh.

Anyway...on a good note...there is a shirt I've seen everywhere and I've been wanting it but not wanting to spend the money and I found one today on sale. I LOVE and cannot resist a sale!

I beat my own record yesterday by doing 15 loads of laundry. My usual number is 12. I think it took me 2 1/2 hours total, which isn't bad for that many loads. I get overwhelmed when I have so much going on at once that it makes me fold faster and by now I think if I ever got into a folding race I'd win first place. :o)

We had a friend over last night and he is really cool. We managed to get the house clean except for vacuuming which I felt bad about but when he came it was really comfortable and I didn't get the feeling he was scrutinizing my house at all. We had fajitas which are a favorite around here and I sat and listened to my hubby and him talk until I was falling asleep on the couch and he was ready to go. I think that was the third time we've had people over since we moved here.
