Bits and Pieces

While watching my son's baseball game, a black beetle (some call them stinkbugs, but I think they're not that exactly) landed on my elbow. Cue the squealing and stomping. Actually, the mom standing next to me stomped on my foot in an effort to help me kill the bug. She was mortified, but I was fine. I would've felt a tad guilty about killing a harmless bug for no good reason, but it was the third one I'd encountered (two had crawled across my sandal-clad feet in two different locations last weekend -- one at my son's baseball game, and one at the Padres game) and I'm just SO DONE WITH THEM.

I had plans for this weekend, but apparently my body had other plans, so I spent most of the weekend (after watching my son's game) lying around on the couch and watching TV in between taking naps and eating. After the nonstop schedule we've had for the past couple of months, I think a couch potato weekend was in order.

When I told my son that next weekend is Mother's Day, he said, "I need to get you a present!" I told him I'd also be very happy if he wrote me a nice letter. "Hmm," he said. "How about a sentence?"

I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Does that sound funny? When I used to work in aerospace, I spent many mornings crying as I drove to work because aerospace was so soul-sucking. At the place where I work now, the people are fabulous and warm and I just love them. Plus...one of my co-workers, Miss H., has crazy dreams all the time and is always happy to share them. It's very entertaining. Of course, she's a devout Christian, so I don't feel like I can reciprocate by telling her about my wild sex dreams. ;^)

How can I still be tired when I spent all day doing nothing? I guess it's possible to have too much sleep. Good thing this week's schedule won't allow for that. Ahem. ;^)
