So, I was watching this episode of Seinfeld tonight …

Just kidding! (Ok, I watched it, but that’s not the point here.)

I went to the gym earlier, and people just never cease to amaze me. I’ve never seen anyone do about 10 sets of 15 leg curls in each set. Something about the perky woman annoyed me to no end. Maybe it was the perfect makeup and hair, or the little gray sweatpants with the tiny tank top and the cell phone on her hip. Do you really need a cell phone while you are pumping iron? I am just not up to talking while doing curls.

It would probably get me in to a lot of trouble if I just started walking up to people and told them that their form was all wrong, wouldn’t it? But so often I want to do it. “You realize you’re going to hurt your shoulder doing that, right?” Something like that. It’s just so tempting, every time…

The list of things to do is getting shorter – so far this morning I have:

:: Done laundry.
:: Added another Lomo shot to Pixelog.
:: Responded to a few of the e-mails that are waiting for me.
:: E-mailed Erika so I can get ready to finish up the Evites for Boston.
:: Done some of the Blogomania work I wanted to get done before I go.

Now? Now it’s a gorgeous, sunny day outside and I am loading my bag up with film and cameras and we’re heading down to Galveston! Fun, Sun and Sand!

There are a bunch of things I wanted to do last night, but by the time I got home I was too tired – I’m amazed I even managed to get one of the Lomo shots posted at Pixelog. (I really love how that photo came out!) So here is my list of things I did not do:

:: Send out the Evite for “H-Town Meets Beantown” on Friday, August 1st. Everyone’s invited, so if you want an Evite, get your e-mail address to me.
:: Send Erika e-mail about the event – guess I need to finalize the location before I send that Evite, huh? (Suggestions anyone?)
:: Edit my submission for Inkblots that I found out on Tuesday I could write. Tuesday to Thursday proved to not be enough time, unfortunately. Maybe next round.
:: Answer the two weeks worth of e-mail I have waiting for me. Wait, almost 3 weeks worth now.
:: Add photos to my Lomohome.
:: Fix the Blogomania webring page.
:: Fix the Blogomania Guest List.
:: Answer more e-mail.
:: Fix the CSS on some of my skins. (Hi Matt!)
:: Clean the kitchen.
:: Finish organizing my bookshelves.

Wow. I have a lot to do over the weekend! But know what I really want to do? Head to Galveston. I have a feeling some of this is just going to have to go until next week.

Really, this isn’t going to turn in to a weather blog, but at the moment it’s the most exciting thing I have to say. Claudette came and went, and as far as hurricanes go it wasn’t too bad here in Houston. Wet, icky, and clouds moving zippy fast – but no lightening or thunder, and the flooding wasn’t as bad as it’s been in previous storms. I was convinced yesterday morning that I would be trapped and unable to get home again – so the lack of flooding was really good news for me! It was sunny by the time I left work and headed for home, quite a switch from the drive to work.

Today it’s just as gray and icky outside, with thunder and lightening added in. It could be what is causing my gloomy mood – I hate it when it’s like this. Add to that the fact that I have a sore throat and I just want to curl up in bed and read the Order of the Phoenix. I now have two weeks worth of e-mails to answer, but last night after I signed up in FitnessTrainer.com and went thru the whole routine with my personal trainer, I just didn’t have the energy. Tonight. Must get to those tonight. I’m also sending out “H-Town meets Beantown” invitations – so if you’re in the Boston area and you want to attend, let me know and I’ll be sure to include you!

Stress is just way too high right now. Is it time for my vacation yet?

Jason returned from his almost 3 week road trip with my parents yesterday and made it home in time for dinner last night. Do all 11 year old boys have problems telling you what they did and what they saw on their trip? I thought I was going to have to open his mouth and pry out the details of what he had seen! He was happy to show me the rocks he got when he visited the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, and he offered up details on the Playstations he visited across the land.

As I was going to bed, I thought I heard him call for me from his bedroom. When I went in to his room, he was sitting up part way, but he didn’t really look awake. I went in and asked what was wrong, and he mumbled an answer (sort of) but wouldn’t lay down. I tried rubbing his arm and his shoulder as I guided him towards his pillow again. He looked serene and like he was going to go back to sleep, and so I leaned down to give him a kiss on the cheek.

And that’s when it happened.

BAM! He sat bolt upright, right in to my nose! I somehow got him to lay back down, and then I just stood there. I’ve had the wind knocked out of me, but never on my face! Ouch! I was stunned. I couldn’t breath at first, and for a moment I thought I was going to faint. Then I composed myself and quietly left his room and went back to bed. I swear, for awhile I couldn’t feel my nose. It was all tingly and weird. Ouch. I’m still surprised that I didn’t have black and blue eyes this morning, but today it just hurt a little. But it still hurts some.

Time to diagnose myself with some good, old-fashioned WebMD. With a slogan like “Trustworthy, Credible, and Timely Health Information,” how can you not believe everything they say? Have you ever noticed that once you get done at WebMD, you’ve convinced yourself that you have every disease you come across? Or is that just me?

How would I know if I have a broken nose? Do they splint a broken nose? Will I have to wear two popsicle sticks and some white hospital tape on my nose while it mends? Really, if you think about it – how hysterical would that look?!
