Life on Sundays is nice. Not much to report, so I won't bore you!

The new freeways in Salt Lake are like a concrete jungle! I got on a new entrance today that really wasn't mapped out all that well. Who planned these things - MEN? No common sense, no flow what so ever. You get on and 3 sets of lanes go to 80 and 1 lane goes to 15. As soon as you get on this little road, you have to cross 4 lanes of traffic to get over to 15! Nuts. Not planned well at all. I know that there are cities with bigger concrete jungles and you really have to know what you're doing in order to get around. Yes, I suppose I'm just a small town gal at heart. I'm thankful I don't live in Salt Lake - too much d*mn traffic!

Had a pretty good day today. I had an appt in Salt Lake, so I took my Mom along for the ride and then we went to lunch. Found a good Mexican restaurant that we really enjoyed (cheese enchiladas - YUUUUMMY!). Came back to the home town and ran some errands in the blistering heat. UGH!

I'm going to watch my uncut version of "Road Trip" (at some point this weekend) recommened by P and E - they say its hilarious.

On the lighter side of things, my weekend has now begun! :-) Not that I have such exciting plans or anything, but just being home and able to putter around sounds great to me.

Started out the day in a fragile state - not really knowing why... on the verge of being very ornery. Not feeling like myself at all. After lunch, I started getting a sore throat which increasing got worse. Being that I was so incredibly bored and having nothing to do (feeling guilty that I was wasting the company's money surfing the net, I decided to call it quits 2 hours early. I came home and had some killer salsa (hoping the hot peppers would burn the bad germs away) and then decided to lie down. I thought I'd shut my eyes...and woke up 2 hours later. Yes, I think I'm sick. :-( Hate being sick. Its 90 degrees outside and I'm in here wrapped up in a blanket!

I'm tired - more tired than usual because I was sooooo bored at work today. I think it takes more energy to find things to do than if I were to just have them to do. I like to keep busy (not overly!). I actually cleaned my cubical today! You should be impressed! ;-)

What is it about human nature that causes one to bring their past relationships into our own relationships? Its so incredibly frustrating to be compared against or judged from someone's past experiences. Experiences that have nothing to do with your own. Sigh. These people are just trying to protect us from hurt - but sometimes they go over board and judge and accuse wrongfully. We have to defend our relationship against their experiences - how f*cked up is that??

I watched the movie "Bounce". It was good, but I was expecting it to be better. I shouldn't really believe what the blurb writers say about the movie on the back of it. Sigh...

Not a lot happening today either. Its been a pretty laid back sort of weekend. I was able to talk to my sweetie a lot, so that's pretty much made my weekend! Am I pathetic?? Hmmmm... maybe less than I used to be, but than again maybe more! Who knows... right now I really don't care!

Not much happening today... I got up early and went to get a hair cut and some blonde highlights put in my hair. Then I came home, watched the movie "Bedazzled" (kinda cute) then took a nice long nap. Its been much cooler here today, cloudy and threatening to rain. Bits of sunshine, but nothing sizzling. Ahhh.... love these lazy days!

I'm being a total slug today. I rented some movies and am kicking back for the weekend. So far I've watched "State and Main" (not very good), "Pay it Forward" (excellent!!), "Proof of Life" (excellent!! and Russell Crowe is so yummy), "Bounce" (haven't watched it yet), and "Bedazzled" (haven't watched yet either).

The 4th of July bash yesterday was pretty fun. 20 people in all - all family and relatives. There was so much food, (it wouldn't be a family dinner with out a ton of food! Mom loves to spoil everyone.). Afterwards, 5 people actually helped clean up! It was a miracle, and I enjoyed that miracle. I need to say hello to one of my adoring fans out there CAROL! This blog is dedicated to you! ;-)

Its AMAZING how much work I can get done with the boss away. I can usually find one hour or two to play some pranks and generally stir up some trouble, but not this week! I was a good girl and got all my work done and now I'm so caught up its scary. What shall I do next week? Hmmm... Boss is gone again for the week, so I guess I'll definitely have to find some trouble to get into. Its been ages since I've played any serious pranks. Oh, sure... I've set up my remote controlled fart machine in the new people's cubicals... but nothing brilliant. Not that the fart machine isn't brilliant - whoever invented this marvel is truly a genius. If you don't have one, I suggest you get one. Its a gas, literally! The last guy I set up said "I can't believe a LADY such as yourself WOULD do anything like that." *snicker* LADY?? He sure doesn't know me very well! Yes, I can be very lady like, but when it comes to jokes, I'm no lady!

A friend was telling me that some people in Las Vegas have created lakes for small communities and mansions. What a total waste of water. Its so wrong to waste water like that when we have to conserve water. You know they've taken water from Utah and California in order to make these lakes! Vegas is in the middle of a desert for h*ll sakes - if they don't want to live in a desert, then they should MOVE! One of the effects that these lakes have on the weather, is making it humid. Where it was very dry heat before, now its sticky hot. Don't mess with Mother Nature - she'll bite you in the a**!

Well, its here. Happy Independence Day America! In a much better mood today despite the rotten nights sleep I got. Too d*mn hot! July has blasted in with heat too quickly (for what I'm used to) this year. Usually its in the mid 90's, but we've reached over 100 for several days now. Its been very dry as well, which is a huge concern for fireworks. There are restrictions all over the valley, but none in my neighborhood :-( Still, I hope people are extra careful. Wouldn't want any fires!

On to more positive aspects of the 4th of July... I get to sleep in, I get paid for 8 hours and don't have to work for it, and.... hmmm... can't think of anything else right now, but it will come to me eventually. Oh, yes - seeing the family! I don't get to see everyone all that often.

Oh, the preparations for the 4th of July! Food, fun, family, fireworks and festivities, brings another F word to mind. The fun is sort of ruined by the preparation and clean up of the food - unless everyone pitches in to help, but of course that is unheard of. Stupid people setting off fireworks until all hours of the night - both of which brings me to the other f word. Yes, I have to work Thursday morning, so I'm being a party pooper! I'm looking forward to some nice quiet time roasting in the sun before the festivities start. Ahhhh... my solitude. That is if those stupid birds are quiet. There is a nest of some kind of bird - possibly hawks! in a tree in my neighbor's yard. These birds squak constantly as well as the adult birds protecting them. They need to get a clue that no one wants to bother them! The neighbor's dog kept getting attacked and she was minding her own business! One of the birds buzzed my feet while laying outside but that was the only time it bothered me. Oh, my... I think I'm whining, aren't I?? Nah, I wouldn't do that!

Feeling better! But not a lot to say - shocker, I know! So why did I even log on?? I'm not sure I even know the answer to that question! This Blog thing is definitely addicting!

Feel sorta yucky - not a good day.
