Today I've been thinking about what my life is missing. I have also been thinking about how many mistakes I've made today, alone. I woke up late because I thought I hit snooze on my alarm and I actually just turned it off. When I pulled out of the parking garage, I pulled out right in front of someone. They let me know that they were pissed by honking and holding down the horn. I forgot to drop off a package on my way to work like I was supposed to, so I had to call a messenger to come pick it up and deliver it on a rush order. The messenger showed up 4 hours later. I wrote some emails today and I misspelled MANY words. Luckily, those emails were all personal and not work-related. I took down a phone number wrong in a message that I was taking. When my boss called the person back, he got some non-english speaking person on the other end. These mistakes are all very minor and don't mean a lot in the grand scheme of life, but I wonder what they mean, and I wonder if things would be different if I had gone through this day error-less. Suppose I woke up on time and left on time, the person I pulled out in front of wouldn't have bene there and I wouldn't have pissed him/her off. I wonder how many little things it takes to cause a major effect on something BIG? I know I think too much and I should be thinking about so many other things. But I wonder if I'm missing something in my life because I overslept too many times? I wonder if timing really is everything? How many times have I missed an opportunity or was saved from bad circumstances because of the little things? These are the dumb kind of things I think about on a daily basis. When I was a kid, I remember laying in my bed at night trying to fall asleep, and for hours I would try so hard to understand where I came from and what truly existed aside from what I knew (which at the time, was not a lot). I fell asleep eventually, but in those moments I can remember being so awake and so exhausted trying to "understand" it all. I don't really know any more than I did then. Back then though, I was listening to paula abdul on my walkman and these days I'm listening to Ryan Adams on my ipod. It's the same thing...I'm still wondering these unanswerable space-like questions...many years later, only the music and the format have changed. I feel asleep to Ryan Adams' new CD Jacksonville City Nights the other night. It's the perfect sleepy time music. I love his voice and each song just flows right onto the next.
Season made me a new mix CD. I uploaded it onto my ipod. I'm so excited to listen to it tonight on my way home from work.
I've ordered some stuff for Riley's scrapbook that I'm making for my friend, Molly. The stuff is great..I love it. I've ordered all the pictures that I'm going to use from an online album that Molly made for me with Snapfish(which is, by the way, my favorite online photo thingy). I just need to find the album that I want to use and start scrapping. The ideas are already there-I'm keeping them in a safe place(yeah right-my head!). I forget stuff A LOT, so I did actually right down some of these ideas on paper. Anyway, I'll take pictures of my book as I work at it and post them here so you can see what I'm talking about.
My friend, Season has a blog now too! Go say HI if you have the time. She's just getting started, so there's not a lot to read yet, but it's cool that she's blogging! I love it. I wish everyone had a blog. Season is running a marathon next year and she's been training for it over the last 2 months. They run in groups every saturday. This week they are up to 14 miles! I'm going to cheer her on at the actual race next year, I think it's so great what she's doing. She's the kind of person who is dedicated to everything she does/starts/etc. And she's my shubes! She came over last night and we hung out and just watched TV and talked. It was nice having her around. We plan to do it every Wednesday night now! Something else to look forward to :)
Pops is in town and I think were going to grab dinner together somewhere tonight. I don't have any real plans yet for the weekend, but I imagine I'll be doing something with him. Last weekend we went to the Huntington Gardens and took a 3 hour tour. It was probably only a 2 hour tour, but my group was made up of 75and up year old geezers and if you didn't know this, they are not the quickest people in the world! Our tour guide was this little old lady, she was sweet though. And fast! The gardens were beautiful and the day turned out to be nice...not too hot, so that was good.
Well this entry turned out to be longer than I thought and I'm out of things to say now. Tomorrow is FRIDAY! :)

Oh yeah and Zach Braff says he still loves me and that he's going to post a new blog, but what the hell? That was over 2 months ago!
