Happy Monday!
Nov. 16th, 2009 07:54 amI worked from 6:45 am to 7:20pm on Friday. Kiddos who work long days don't have to go to the following daily 7:30 am meeting. They get to go to work a little late. Yay! I'm going running. I plan to roll in around 9:30am with a Diet Coke, a Banana and a smile. Hurrah for lounging in bed past 4am!
In other bits of commentary, men are definitely wired differently:
Him: When do you plan on having that project done?
Me: 12th Night.
Him: There's no way that's going to happen. You're going to fail.
Me *pause with direct eye contact*: Don't undermine me.
Him: I'm not undermining you, I'm telling you how it is.
Me: By telling me I'm going to "fail", you undermine me.
Him: No, I'm not. There are X number of weekends between now and then, I watched you work on the first part and you don't have enough time.
And there begins a conversation about how men communicate, how women communicate, who thinks context matters, and what we mean when we string certain words together. It wasn't a fight (there was no report of an earthquake in Contra Costa County last night). There was a lot of "what I mean", a dash of fake-pontification and a healthy dose of staged humor. It ended in laughing and I promptly cancelled a day of running errands to scurry into my workshop (how did I lose 2 weekends in November? I have to get cracking!!!) We finally agreed that the other was weird and 'weird' spelled differently is "wired".
I'm going to miss Investiture. Drat! I made other plans without looking at the SCA calendar. I'm bummed - I'd sure like to see Gillian step up as Princess. And I'd like to see Princess Leticia again, as well, before she steps down.
See... If I had an iPhone this wouldn't have happened. Clearly I need unblocked internet access 24-7 otherwise my social calendar is just a mess. I lust for a PDA that has internet access... They are too far out of my ball park and for the same money I'm also eye-balling the Garmin Forerunner, which is a fitness GPS that monitors heart-rate, calories burned, etc. So many goodies, so little money! If I wait a few years maybe Garmin and Apple or whomever will get together and come up with the Forerunner that links to the PDA.
Well, I'm off to go running. I didn't run yesterday - the portion of my legs between calf and heal was on strike. But right now I feel like a rock star because I'm not at work yet.
