I talk too much and say too little

I think too much; it gets me in trouble.

I know those aren't the actual lyrics for you Better than Ezra fans, but I think the last line is more appropriate for me. I do feel a little like I have nothing profound to say; but some of you have been harassing me about not writing so here goes...

This working from home is getting better I guess. I feel much more productive if I sit in the office upstairs, but I still feel guilty that I haven't really produced as much tangible product as I usually do in the office. Hopefully that is about to change. I'm working on this Captivate course that feels like has taken me forever. I finally have a pressing deadline so I think I'll be done next week; I hope so cause I'm ready to move on to some other things that excite me more.

I must say there are some drawbacks to working from home. Yesterday the cat barfed her breakfast up on the table so I had to clean that up; that would never happen in a real office.

I did have a good time with my sister here last week. She left on Monday and she never had a bunny spotting the whole time she was here. That's why the photo of the bunny. I hope we didn't bore her; but I'm afraid we did. Her being here made me realize how old kelvin and I act. We really don't lead exciting lives anymore; not that I ever did really. Hopefully we'll find some connections soon and have some stories to tell. While she was here we (should I say her because I simply assisted) added a third coat to the red in the laundry and kitchen. I love it. You can see updated photos here.

Still no word form the new LC. I was hoping that by sending my interview suit to my seamstress mother they would call in an ironic turn of events and I would have to wear my old suit. But alas, no call. I do know that one of my three references just got information in to them this week so maybe that is all they were waiting on. I can be optimistic right?

I began to panic yesterday morning about money. I guess I finally realize we are going to have to pay for this wonderful house we're living in. Tough to grow up huh? Anyway, I know we'll be fine financially, but something flipped my panic button and I've begun to obsess about ways to save money and make more money. As a matter of fact, I know kelvin wants to go out to dinner tonight and to lunch and a movie tomorrow, but I've been thinking of things I could cook tonight instead so we can save that money just in case. It's okay to be frugal right? Or am I going crazy?

In other household news, the green bell peppers are growing. Ironic that neither of us like bell peppers and yet it's the only vegetable growing in our yard. I guess the people before us like them. I think if the rabbits don't eat them I'll at least try them just to say I've eaten something grown in our yard. I just wish it was yellow squash or something I might appreciate more. But it has been fun to watch them grow. It's amazing to see the daily changes in living things. I guess we don't realize the changes in one another as dramatically. Maybe if we did we could be more sensitive to the needs of others.

I guess I've gotten a little philosophical being at home alone all day. I think it's helped to slow down and examine things from a different perspective. If I come to any real dramatic realizations I'll be sure to share those.
