On being lazy: Lazy people can often be quite efficient people- they sit around coming up with the shortest way to do something or figure out a way for it to be okay not to do it at all. A quote from Josh on this subject:
"It's not a matter of being lazy, you
just decide that your (finite!) supply of energy would
be better used another way."
I FINALLY booked my flight to Baltimore in November. US Air didn't have any available flights on the 2nd (I can't believe that, but okay) so I have to arrive on the 1st. It's not a big deal, I don't mind being gone one extra day. Plus, if I have issues in Charlotte and have to stay there overnight, I won't be late getting to B'more.
My nails are getting too long, time to cut them.
Paula called me out of the blue this morning to tell me that she was in a good mood for no reason and wanted to share it with me. Well, it rubbed off- I'm in a good mood for no reason now too!!! Thanks Mom. Although, my reason could be because I finally managed to book a damn flight after many unsuccessful tries. Booking flights really is like a game or a hunt.
I downloaded AIM last night since so many people I know have been asking me to get it for a while. Well, I finally did it. My username is Minstrelette.
I really want to get a PDA. I did some research on them this morning but I don't think I'll really buy one. I am so bad at justifying spending money. The Palm Pilot IIIe looks really nice though.
I miss driving around on country roads, especially in Virginia and Vermont (for some reason those places stand out). Sometimes nothing seems better than on a warmish fall day, when the air is crisp and the sky is blue, driving on quiet open roads listening to some good tunes. Hopefully I'll enjoy driving around upstate New York when I rent a car some time on a whim and see where it takes me. I know these feelings are coming from the fact that it's September. Even though it's still HOT where I am, I still get the same reactions of fall that I got when I lived on the east coast. I guess those times got burned in my memory and they surface every fall no matter where I am and what I'm doing. I get creative in the fall too. I always start some big project in the fall (I don't usually finish it though). This fall I'm reorganising my music. I didn't realise when I started 2 days ago that I started it because I'm in "fall mode". Hey, what am I doing listening to "Roots to Branches"? I should listen to my favourite fall Tull album, "Songs from the Wood" (and only $9.99 at Amazon.com). And I found out that I'm not alone in having this one as a favourite album for the fall.
Now I'm thinking about time zones. I get used to being 3 hours behind the east coast and in around 7 weeks, I have to get re-used to being 2 hours behind. I can never remember which I like better. I think I like 2 hours behind for some reasons (football games don't start as early) and like 3 hours for some reasons (it's easier to reach people on the east coast for some reason). At least this is the last time I'll have to do that AND I get to be back on east coast time (the God of time zones).
Harvey's fine. The doctor told him there wasn't anything strange in the results of the cardiogram. He probably just has pluracy and just has to wait until it goes away. He talked to a client of his and he has the same thing. They haven't found anything to treat it with and he's had it for 6 weeks. At least Harvey's isn't that bad. He said he's feeling much better. He also convinced me to send my email about my flight information to Frequent Flier magazine or something as a letter to the editor. He thought it was funny enough for them to print it.
Now I took the original test (the first one I took was a variation) and it said I'm an ESTJ: Guardian (Supervisor). Famous eStJ's include: Colin Powell and Elizabeth I. And it said I was a strong "S" too so there goes my theory on being in between an S and an N. Huh. And I thought that in recent years I was becoming more Introverted. I still think I am. I know myself better than these tests. Still, they're fun to take.
