::my gal friday::
pushing off the minutes, i try to work as much as possible this morning before going to work. after these precious a.m. hours have passed, i will find myself without much of a life until late saturday afternoon. the culprit: traffic school. yep. that new car of mine has a gas pedal and rides smooth as silk on the 55 just off of triangle square. and work frustrations had me fuming on my lunch hour. speeding is no answer to that problem, as i swiftly learned on that fateful lunch hour. so i don't work there anymore. it's as simple as that.
tonight we have meeting #2 with our landscaper. i still find myself wondering if i am old enough to be doing this stuff. if the wrinkles pressing themselves into my forehead are any indication, i would say yes. however, i still don't feel that way. and i'll be 27 in a few short weeks. the whole age thing is just bizarre in my mind, considering that so much happens to a person in their twenties. this decade is a big & sometimes confusing one, echoing the thoughts of high school and dorm life (which i never experienced, only tasted) over careers and, for some, marriage. it's a big deal. i would definitely define it as the rockiest. yes, even over the teen years. trapped between maturity & just wishing someone else would take the burden of these hefty decisions off my back. it's been a decade of many firsts (hee hee--i'm talking like i'm thirty!). most of which have me thinking "next time i do that, i'll do it differently".
in the end though, these few precious morning hours i have left today are indicative of just how far i've come. my husband is readying for work upstairs. we spent the morning reviewing landscape drawings and tossing ideas back and forth. we wished for coffee, but there is no half & half in the house so starbucks christmas blend sits, lonely & unground, in the cupboard. the cats have been fed. the trash can still needs to be brought in from yesterday. the christmas decorations are jockeying for position in various boxes. i am contemplating how to go about writing a book. and thinking of the new year's resolutions i have yet to begin living. it's only a shadow of what's ahead.
