Tomorrow

This commercial makes me laugh. But my smile quickly disappears.  Then there's a sudden onset of guilt as I realize I'm currently working on enlarging the imprint of my buttocks on the couch.  Too many treats this weekend and this commercial is likely going to haunt me in my sleep tonight.

This girl will be at kickboxing bright and early in the morning.  I don't want to face the wrath of Miss Hannigan!

Blur

Life feels like a blur these days.  I'm a passenger on a train and no matter how hard I try to focus; my view is still just a blur.

This train is speedy towards a snow covered place where the winter days are short of light and filled with chilly temps.  Its in a rush towards holidays with family and friends and warmth by the fireplace.  And then the start of a whole new year.

This train is speedy away from the all the items recently crossed off those to do lists.  A spooktacular Halloween event at the office complete with costumes.  My 3rd MBA class.  A bridal shower for my cousin Dan's fiance.  A slow recovery from my attempt at that triathlon back in July.  Runs and walks around Cascade Lake while Tucker pulls anxiously on the leash.  So many thoughts and details that are stuck in my head.

I think I'm O.K. with being a passenger for a while, but it might be time for me to step into the shoes of the conductor and control the speed and direction of this locomotive.  First order of business is getting those thoughts and details out in the open, along with a few photos that go along with them.  That way I can look back on them in clear focus.
