Rams Pre-Season Game Last Night

I went and was in the suite. I’m becoming extremely spoiled in a still humble kind of way. I’ve only attended professional sporting events when the tickets were in VIP suites. Of course, these opportunities are courtesy of my job(s). I suppose when I make my break with Corporate America I will no longer have access to this level of perks. I will attempt to make the most of it while it lasts.

And by the way, Denzel Washington was there and walked right past me and the person I was with (we didn’t see him). I later saw him kind of up-close and sort of personal and you know what? HE LOOKS GOOD FOR REAL!

Sleep Study Tonight

I’m having a sleep study done tonight to find out why I’m having reports of seizure-like behavior when I’m sleeping. The bad thing about it is that I don’t return to the doctor to have the reports read until the end of the month. Talk about suspense! Who knows what they will find? I hope their findings don’t involve medication though. I’m not sure if I want my brainwaves tampered with more than the amount done by using my cell phone constantly or sleeping with the alarm clock in the bed with me or the other daily routine behaviors that interfere with your brain’s normal functioning. I will have 25 electrodes attached to me, that should be an interesting picture – Return of the Bionic (Mind) Woman!

I Can’t Stop Dancing!

I’m not sure what’s going on here but I am at home dancing in the living room to Sting and Bond. I almost look like a 13-year old again. Oh if you were a fly on the wall right now…

You’d fall off laughing at my antics.

I’m About To Try This Again

Current mood:  contemplative

I have been accepted at a local university and am excited about returning to school to complete what I should have done a long time ago. This time around I do plan to finish with a good GPA even. I pretty much partied and drank the first time so that’s now out of my system. I pretty much know that I’m a 35-year old woman so I shouldn’t have an identity crisis. Unless of course some unsuspecting 20-something guy mistakes me for a 20-something coed…

In addition, I look forward to the international study opportunities that will be available. The passport is always at the ready and I’m always searching for the perfect opportunity to hop off to another country so that should be pretty exciting later on down the line. I wonder if I can qualify for student discounts on travel?

Even without the travel, I truly look forward to returning to a learning environment, freeing my mind and being away from the mundane boredom that has now become my plight as I go to work each day at a job I don’t enjoy and feel is teaching me nothing of positive value. Right now I feel as if I’m existing which is pretty much the base model of life. Hopefully this particular move will also assist me in attaining the bells and whistles of life. Today’s definition of bells and whistles is contentment resulting from doing work that provides an inner satisfaction as well as an outer result. You may want to check for revised definitions later. Contentment could be having homework completed immediately after it’s assigned.

Good night. Bon soir. Buona sera.

Sick And Lonely (Or Lonely And Sick)

I got back from my whirlwind vacation and realized I needed a vacation to recover from my vacation. I was just joking but the Universe heard my joking request and granted it – I’ve been sick since Monday and have been at home resting and recuperating since Wednesday. Of all things to have, I have a cold that is really funky. When I went to the doctor Thursday I had a fever of 101.2 degrees. It is seldom that I get sick but this week I have been very not-well. I called a friend in Atlanta and she didn’t even recognize me because my voice is so raspy/hoarse.

Being in the house for three days (four including today) straight with minimal interaction with others has made me realize one thing – I’m lonely. I don’t have anyone here who can easily come over and sit with me for a minute to provide me with much needed company. That’s not a good spot for me to be in and I don’t like it. I think I need to get out and meet some people so that I have FRIENDS. Universe, could you send me some friends as well? Real friends of course.

Vacation Is Ending

Today is my last day in Rome. I leave for London tomorrow and head to New York Thursday. This has been a loooooooong-A vacation because of the language barrier. I’m tired and petulant and ready to settle down. I may need a vacation after this vacation.

Despite my general crotchety-ness at the moment, there are a few people who have made my vacation pleasant because of their kindness. I’ll take a moment right here and right now to give them a shout-out (I don’t call names). The guy working the desk at 1am and 5am in the morning in Alghero. He was so sweet and prepared a little breakfast to go for me. We talked about wrestling and I will see if I can rustle up an autographed photo of a wrestler to send to him. Then there is the woman who works at (or owns) the pizzeria that I have tried to go to each day. She knows that I don’t speak English and was very patient with me as I tried to decide what pizza I would eat (it always ended up being the same except today). Then my trip wouldn’t have been sunny without my “hell-of-a-tourguide”. He was like a ray of sunshine during the time that we hung out because he spoke English also and could translate those words that I had no idea about. I also received sociological explanations which really went a long way towards helping me understand the city (and country) I was walking around in. These are the people who stood out as making my vacation just a little easier. To them I would like to wish a heartfelt mille grazie.
