I'm mellow this weekend.

I got to cook TWICE tonight was impromptu... mom went, arrgh i've gotta do this that and ... oh you're going out? i was... but i just said why and found out a veggie-cooking person was needed - SHE * NEVER * ASKS so she really was time-bound i figure and i really like cooking (especially veggies). so i changed back again from outdoor clothes (yep, i was at the grabbing the keys point already) and hopped to it. they were good. dad prefers them cut differently but phooey. i did cut them differently - that's the point. he likes them cut one particular way, and that way only and sorry but i figured howabout something DIFFERENT is all... anyway. they came out nice.

tonight.... we (FINALLY) spring forward. i have already changed all our "common" clocks as well as my personal ones. i'd rather spring sooner than hit 2 am and go grooooaaannn... oh yeah, it's 3. lol. so that's the end of my "ahead of time" postings. heheh. probably this will be the last one since i am off to IM with a friend in a bit here.

i hear ya on the phone ringers and i always turned phones off when the environment was in my control. now i can only control my cell, but when i'm not up for it ... it's off. so i'm totally on board with that!

Abbie, would i be off base to say that you are sounding a little calmer? (LOL could be projecting - i am calmer than i was... BIG TIME! )
Mari i'm sorry to hear about the anxious insomnia that is nasty i hope that resolves and you get some good, DEEP sleep. i find that when anxious even if i sleep i get lighter, lower quality sleep. i am sending you soothing thoughts...

extend that too everyone. for some reason, i feel like soothing thoughts are the thing for all of us tonight.

aha! here is my friend pinging me... off i go now...

much calmer ~ waves ~ off Zyprexa too
