Laziness

I've been extremely lazy for the last, well I guess less than 24 hours. And I'm loving it!

It seems like it has been forever since I've done almost nothing. My body usually tries to recharge about once a month or so by getting excessive amounts of sleep and being lazy. Today is one of those days!

After work, I volunteered with JA at the ball field concession stand. Of course I wanted her to freak out, since I managed to get stuck at work until 5:15p.m. and then raced to the fields to get there at 5:28p.m., two minutes to spare! Needless to say, JA was a little worried that I wasn't going to make it ~ especially since she got there super early and didn't have her cell to check on my whereabouts. We were pretty busy at the concession that we even stayed over 45 minutes helping our replacements.

JA's computer is in the shop and she's pretty much had a really hard time without it. She came over to read emails and check on things. It's amazing how much we use and take for granted our computers and cell phones. Truly, it's almost sad really, how often we use both throughout the day that without them it seems almost like a void or an inability to function. Although, by choice we can choose to get through life without them or using them very little if we choose. But when faced without the choice and having that void, it almost becomes debilitating.

I had 2.5 blockbuster online movies that I had yet to watch and two that I can return in store for my 5 monthly exchanges by 5/31/08. I really didn't care if I managed to watch them, but in the back of my head it's one of those things - you pay for it, use it. Clearly I know that I do more than break even every month, that's for sure. I just wasn't sure where I would be this weekend as to whether or not I could return two movies back to a store on time. Last night I managed to watch all of the movies! Not that it was truly my intention, but my 15 minute snooze during the second movie wired me enough to get through the rest of that and the next movie and another two hours! I can't say that I would recommend any of the movies.

At 2:15a.m., while I was playing spades online, my phone rang. I figured it was TS, my usual late night caller checking in and figuring out our weekend plans as we talked about going to the casino. It wasn't. It was actually another friend that I hadn't talked to in a few weeks. The funny thing is, he left a message on my cell (which I listened to later saying that I was probably asleep) and then he called the house phone and wondered why I was up! Had my son been with me this weekend, I may have been a little irritated, but seeing that he wasn't it was completely OK. Although he figured my son was home. Sometimes it just makes me wonder what inspires people to call me at all hours of the night! So we talked for a while and despite him being in the area, I told him I would take a rain check on seeing him.

I'm actually getting pretty good at saying "no" and not feeling guilty about it!

I haven't talked with TS yet today, but I'm finally going to get motivated and shower and get ready to head out for the rest of the weekend. My uncle and aunt just arrived in Michigan from Florida this morning. I'll be heading to my mom's to see them all, especially since I haven't seen my mom since our Valentine's dinner and Mama Mia date. So tonight I'll grab two movies to watch at my parents and hangout and then tomorrow we'll hit the casino. Maybe I can even hit a slot or two - big!
