Day 28: Something that stresses you out

Most of the things that really stress me out are actually consequences of my own choices:

I hate being late, but I don't plan enough time or I try to jam too many last minute activities in. I like a beautiful, calm, tidy house, but I would rather sit and read a book (or six) than do housework.

Other drivers on the road stress me out, and I am very vocal about my road rage--commenting on the other driver's habits and lifestyle choices (which makes LargeBoy tell me I need to be kinder and less judgmental).

But, all in all, I try to be pretty mellow.

In other, completely unrelated stuff:

I got to go to a beautiful temple wedding this week. I cried, even before the Bride & Groom came in. I also decorated their reception for them:

I didn't get any good pictures of the decorations, but here is an idea:

We had a great weekend staying with friends and not getting enough sleep!

Also, today BigGirl and I went to the eye doctor, and got our new glasses ordered! Yay! Let there be vision for all.

My Favorite Gentleman has a new job. Yay! Yay! For those of you who heard me rant about his previous employer--rejoice with us! For everybody else--trust me, this is a GOOD THING!

In sadder news, one of the orange kittens passed away. We aren't really sure why, it just started having problems one morning.

PS--it seems to be taking me an extraordinarily long time to cover 30 days! Sorry!

Let the fun begin!

So here I am at the begining of my days of solitude(yeah, the kind of solitude that merely involves having SmallDaughter and the WonderDog, 24/7 by myself, so technically, not much solitude!) This has come about because my menfolk have gone on a 10 day camping/hiking/whitewater rafting adventure, and my 2 older girls (BigGirl and LargeCousin, who is staying with us all summer while her mom dutifully studies for the Bar Exam) are leaving for a week of camp. Also, best friend K has gone to Texas, to be a DUTIFUL DAUGHTER, because her mom had Ligament Replacement Surgery in her hand. This, despite the fact that K does not do well in heat, and is currently melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. She really is a good daughter.

I will not be bored during the solitude, as I have a list of jobs and projects that is almost a full page long, as well as a bunch of library books for fun. We have also stocked up on popsicles. The bronchitis crud is slowing me down, but I will perservere!
