My So-Filled Life
I have come to the conclusion that I have too much life.
This is why I can’t watch 20 different TV series, or follow 75 people on Twitter, or post something worth reading every single day for a month. I have too much life going on, and it keeps getting in the way.
Thinking about it today, I realized how different my life is now than last year at this time. I’ve got a full-time job that pretty much kicks my ass every day. Last year? Unemployed and housebound. Bret was too, so we were together 24/7. Now we crave our together time when we can share our very-diverse days. From the time he picks me up, we are talkingtalkingtalking until we go to bed. Sometimes even then, too. It helps that our computers are side-by-side on the same table, so we can converse and be doing our own respective things on our computers at the same time. There’s always a bunch of stuff we are anxious to get into after work.
All day long at work, I’m wishing I could be writing on my blog. But when I get home, there’s so much I have to do, plus stuff I want to do. And then I get sleepy and end up going to bed before I’ve written a post. Damn it! It’s a good thing I have Feedburner, because my posting schedule is so random even the most devoted reader would be hard-pressed to keep track.
I really need to win Mega Millions. Then I could spend all day writing and taking pictures. And taking naps. I like that idea.

I remember last year, reading your other blog during the Holidailies craze. I’m so happy you’re back and life’s looking up. :)

I feel this way too… but I think it is a good sign! :)

I’ll tell you whawt, even then, you wouldn’t have enough time to spend with Bret. No, I’m not saying we’ve got lots of $$$ because we don’t. It just seems that we can’t get enough “alone” time together — no stinkin’ phones beeping that he has a message, or me being distracted by Scrabulous or whatever. Of course, we all need “alone” time, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day for the “together” time.

Oh, I hear ya. I have so many things I do in my free time, I don’t have any free time.

Here’s something you can do in all that spare time… Pseudotherapy is still showing the October/Halloween format on Safari. Of course, if you don’t CARE about us Mac people, then just leave it. ;>)

And, BTW, I, for one, am very happy you’re on the Right Coast this year.

…and now I’m tired from reading that post.
Here’s hoping you get a little bit of relaxing time (not caused by illness, injury, or anything else remotely negative) and some Together Time with Bret!
