weekend's over.

I had a fun weekend that involved a Mexican fiesta with friends and a return to a bar we haven't been to in months, and culminated in a Celtics game and the realization that the bartender at a certain Beacon Hill bar knows Sara and I and the type of wine we like to order on Tuesday evenings.

This post is going to be random, because I have lots running through my head right now.

"When it rains it pours," my dad said to me today. And oh how right he is. All of the sudden I'm being inundated with potential freelance jobs and maybe even some "real" jobs too. Of course, these opportunities are welcomed wholeheartedly (hi, it's almost tax time). But they leave me even less time for sleep and sometimes make me feel a bit overwhelmed.

It feels like I just left, but I am heading back to the aunt and uncle's on Wed. for some more dogsitting. I highly enjoy the little pups but sometimes miss sleeping in my own bed and having my comforts all around (and my roommate!), so I'm sure I'll be back and fourth a bit. Not to mention, despite the fact I work from home, they insist on still having the dogwalker come twice a day, so I prefer not to be at their house during the day. Basically all I really have to do is sleep there.

It was pointed out to me that I say "basically" a lot. I'm trying to quit.

Chelsee got a new iMac and videochatted with me this afternoon and it made me slightly uncomfortable. Haha! She couldn't even see me for some reason, but I could see her and all I could think about was that scene in American Pie. The best part was when Katie walked into their apartment and I could see her and say hiii. I don't know why I'm so amazed by technology these days, but I seriously am.

I realized this even more when I was thinking about how addicted to my Filofax I am. These days, most people are addicted to their Blackberries, iPhones, and other electronic devices. Why am I still being addicted to paper and pen? I seriously must be a few years behind the times. Hopefully I'll catch up soon.

Also, tonight was a fabulous TV night. First was the Osmond family reunion and now Garth Brooks is on Leno. Hiii, it's like my childhood dream come true (I know, I was a weird child who apparently had a strange facination with older musician-like men).

While discussing Usher's new song, "Love in This Club," and the ridiculousness of the lyrics, Chels brought up Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body." I had never heard it before. But now I just heard the song AND saw the video and um, it's beyond ridiculous. And I can't stop laughing.

Leno just said he isn't really a fan of monkeys and Christina Ricci said, "I actually really dislike monkeys." Haha! My new favorite people. I don't think I could be in a movie where monkeys were involved...I feel bad for her.

My mom told me I should take Oprah's online class about "awakening your life's purpose." I might have at one point been offended by this, but I'm really not because she's probably right. Who doesn't need to awaken their life purpose though? I mean, really, do any of us know what our true life purpose is? If you do, you're way ahead of me. I'm not so certain this is something Oprah could help me with though.

I have a bunch of things to blog about but they all take thought and I start my blogs too late in the day to think. I promise I will have some more thought-provoking posts soon. Tomorrow in particular. Just sit tight

And now, back to work, and possibly bed at some point.
