Ramble, Ramble, Rambling

It's 10:00 a.m., I've been at work for two hours, and I feel like I'm just now waking up. I got to sleep plenty early enough last night, so I don't know what my problem is, but man - I could have slept at least another hour this morning. Also, I was having some weird, frustrating dream this morning, too. I'll spare you the details, because other people's dreams are never interesting, but I'll just say that it made me wake up very frustrated and grumpy. Sigh. I'm just not a morning person.

So, I feel like I've been ignoring this blog too much lately, so I'm going to attempt to update more regularly - I'm not promising everyday, but I'm shooting for at least three weekdays out of five. I figure I either need to start updating more often or I need to stop writing in here at all, and I don't want to do the latter, so I need to do the former. If that wasn't too convoluted of a sentence.

All right, so that being said, what's going on in my life to write about? Well, J got us tickets to go see George Thorogood in concert this summer, which should be really fun. I have only been to a few concerts in my life - ZZ Top when I was in high school, Billy Joel/Elton John at the Dome a few years ago and Cyndi Lauper with Jamie a year and a half ago. J is a big music afficionado, so I have a feeling that number is going to rise dramatically now that he's in my life. Which I'm happy about. We like the same music, for the most part, so whatever he picks I'll enjoy seeing.

We had someone come out to look at the porch/roof last weekend, and he's supposed to be calling us with a quote for fixing it up, but he hasn't yet, which kind of scares me. Well, the idea of how much it's going to cost scares me anyway, but it especially does when it takes him this long to get us a quote. Just how large is that number? Eek.

You know that I read legacy stories online (Sims 2 stuff, for those not in the know). Well, I've decided to start writing one of my own, so my Sims obsession is back in full force. Not that it ever really went away, but it's focused more closely on one family now. I'm playing them through to a point where I can write the first chapter and get it online. Man, I hope people read it. I'm okay with only having a handful of people read this blog - I know I'm never going to become the next famous blogger - but I really want people to read and like the legacy stories I write. I think the difference is that it's more of a creative type of writing, whereas here it's all just what's on my mind or what's happening in my life. The creative stuff makes me feel more vulnerable. I'll post the link here once I get the story up, for any of you who might be interested. I know at least a couple of you play the Sims, so maybe one or two of you will read. :)

J brought his kerosene heater to my house the other day, and yesterday it was cold enough that I turned it on when I got home, and I love it! It was 51 degrees in my house when I got home (I ran out of fuel oil a couple weeks ago), and by the time I went to bed, it was 62 or so. Love! It felt so nice to sit in my house and not be freezing. Oh kerosene heater, where have you been all my life?

This is Sarah's last week at her job here where I work. :( I'm very sad to be losing her, even though I'm happy that she's gotten a job that utilizes at least a few of her mad computer skills. We're having cake for her today, which is fun, but I'm going to be sad when she leaves. Work just won't be as fun anymore.

Anyway, I guess that's all I have for today. Check back often for those more recent updates, won't you? Thanks!
