Convinced My Weekends Are Shorter Than Everyone Else's

I am serious. I mean it seems that Every Single Damn Sunday evening I finally, at long last, have a little down time to relax and take a breather and chill out, and I get ready to do just that when I check the clock and it's like, 10pm and time to get ready to think about going to bed, my last free night before my fully-packed Monday work week begins. Arrrggh! Where was my down time to read? watch a movie/DVD? pick a flower? do some yoga? GONE!

Admittedly, this past weekend was way fun, it was just too packed with activity as ALWAYS. I feel like I am always complaining about that, and you'd think I could take control of my weekends and make them mine, but I really, really can't. The family reunion on Sat. was pretty enjoyable although it was extremely hot outside (the 3 Corona beers helped) and I only had room to eat 3 desserts but the baby had the time of her life running around playing with the other kids and Auntie R. and I got to relax in the shade and catch up.

Sat. night's Accordion Kings was not as enjoyable as it usually is, and to this I can only attribute that even though the baby and I were comfortable on our blanket on the hill and my good friend K. joined us with her daughter and another little girl, it just wasn't as satisfying to me b/c I was way out on the hill and not down in seats, close to the stage action. I truly need to be up close to be happy when it comes to concerts so I can absorb all the details. I mean... that's all there is to it. The End.

Sunday a.m. I did get to lounge by the pool with S and the baby after I taught my morning class on behalf of Job #1, and that was nice, getting in my first good pool time of the season. I noticed later that my skin didn't tan though, thanks to slathering myself in sunscreen! I am constantly thinking in the back of my mind, "Skin cancer... melanoma... UVA/UVB..." even though I do enjoy getting darker in the summertime. Oh well.

Sunday night was the wrestling PPV at WingsNmore, which S and I haven't done in a long time. That event in public is always amusing!

This week: try to wrap up all the loose ends I can on my documentary planning before the meeting on Friday with the Chief and his goons. I got a few phone calls and emails to send and the press release to FINISH! My friend K. said she'd lend me a laptop to use during the duration of my film project so I can accomplish more things faster and I am going to take her up on the offer!
