It's a good day to blog

I have about 100 thoughts running through my head. So maybe if I write some down I can actually stop thinking for a while and get something done!

1. It's V-tines day. It is the 15th one I have spent with Chad. He gave up a few years ago saying that it was an unimportant holiday. I don't know if I'll get a card this year or not, but I do know he loves me. We have reservations for dinner out tonight and I'm looking forward to a nice double date with my sis and her hubby.

2. In cleaning/reorganizing my office I ran across an old picture from graduation. I use to have it up in my office area. I looked at my mom in it for the first time today and saw how sad she looks. It's always been one of my fave pics because me and my dad are all happy and goofy in it. I guess my mom at that moment was probably thinking of how life was just beginning for me and she couldn't protect me anymore from the world. (She has always told me that she wishes us kids didn't have to grow up.) I guess if I knew then what life as an adult would be like I might not have been quiet so happy that day myself. I see graduation as a new beginning, too bad we aren't given that opportunity more often in life.

3. Files. As I stated I'm reorganizing my office and therefore cleaning out/going through files. Why must we have so many files? I had simplified that part of my life a long time ago, but I'm realizing there are some things you just can't get rid of no matter how much clutter they create.

4. I should probably stop this blog now. I think I've written enough to be able to get back to work. Files are staring me in the face--but that's ok, I will survive. Come to think of it, I think I am usually cleaning or reorganizing when Dash has Pinewood Derby workdays. To me, doing something is always better then doing nothing, unless doing nothing is the something that you're doing! :)
