TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY...

Today was a good day at work. I caught up on the latest political trash coming out of DC on my Yahoo page, kept up with friends on Facebook, emailed more friends, looked up new phones on the Verizon website (can’t afford even the free ones), listened to the soundtrack from Crazy Heart, music from John Butler Trio, Scissor Sisters, Robert Palmer, Free, Gordon Lightfoot, and talked to my husband on the phone. Oh yeah, and I did some work. All-in-all a relaxing day at the office. It did make the day go faster. One day closer to retirement!!!

We have a friend staying with us. He is an engineer on contract with a local company. He lives in Seattle with his wife (my BFF) and their two big puppies. It is so nice to have him here and to be able to communicate without measuring every word. People here in the south are so very nice and that is part of the problem. When I want to express myself with fervor, I resort to 4-letter words, something I picked-up when I lived in LA. Definitely the sign of a poor vocabulary. WTF? So now I can really express myself while he is here. Also, I am able to talk about things “liberal” and “green”. We also share a fondness for “My Cousin Vinney”. I will be sad when he finds that job back in Seattle and has to leave. But wait, there’s SKYPE. Yayyyyyyyyyyy.

Time for me to go into the living room and read another chapter of “I Sold My Soul on Ebay”. Checking out other viewpoints and taking a break from my stash of SciFi books. Another day in the life of G.R.I.T.S.
