I've been such a slacker today. For whatever reason, I'm just feeling run down and out of sorts. I'm feeling a little blue, too. I really don't know why. I'm wondering if I'm starting to feel the effects of the days getting shorter. I'm also a little bored and frustrated at work. Oh, well...this will pass. I've just got such much I want to do and having to go to work every day doing mindless tasks is a little frustrating. I'm also probably a little burned out. I realized today that I haven't had a vacation in three years (being unemployed DOES NOT COUNT). That was when we went to visit Marcus' folks in Tennessee.

I've been really trying to meditate and clear my head lately. I've got this itchy feeling that something is about to change, I just don't know what. I sure hope that whatever it is, it is for the good.

Well, I found out today that I'm going to waste one less hour watching television. It turns out that CW's Veronica Mars was not renewed for this fall. That really ticks me off. I wish networks would let a series know before the end if it is going to be picked up again or not so that a series finale can be written if need be. I'm tired of being left hanging.

Hey Friends and Family!

I have a request for my birthday this year which, I just noticed today, happens to be in two weeks (gasp!).

I don't need things. Gosh knows I'm trying to purge my life and my house of unnecessary and unwanted stuff. What I would like, if you are so inclined, is iTunes gift certificates or donations to my Vegas fund. See, in addition to the price of the actual trip, there are things I need to get before I go, such as a new laptop battery, headphones for my iPod, a new camera, some nicer clothes. That is the kind of "stuff" I do need now.

Thanks!

Marcus and I have had some bad experiences at Atlanta Bread Company, but there not being any good bagel places close and him really wanting one, we gave it yet another try.

OK, the service still sucked in a major bad way. They hadn't changed the soup of the day menu yet and the manager wasn't sure the soups Marcus ordered was on the menu. Marcus' order wasn't right. Still not going to get a rave review from either one of us.

I did have a most awesome salad, though. It was called the Balsamic Bleu Salad (Field Greens and Romaine Lettuce tossed with Bleu Cheese Crumbles, Toasted Walnuts, Granny Smith Apples, Tomato, Red Onion and Dried Cranberries with a Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing). I had a half & half, so I got French onion soup for the other choice. That was a tasty and satisfying meal.

Now I just wished they would get their act together. We really do want to like them.

I've been wearing my LiveStrong bracelet almost everyday since I got it. I know people think these are tacky, but I like them. I was over at Jesser.org the other day and she had posted a link to a site where you can order your own silicone bracelets called ReminderBand. I'm thinking of maybe having some produced with my design business name on them.
