I only have time for a quickie

~ I'm busy, I'm burned out, and I need a vacation.

~ I'm thinking about seeing if I can switch to the every other Friday off program. I'm putting in the necessary long hours throughout the week anyway, and I'm confident people would still mostly leave me alone to write first thing in the morning even if I'm on the clock. I think getting an extra day added to my weekend every other week would go a long, long way toward curing my burnout.

~ I'm also thinking about seeing if Matt's willing to use part of our tax refund to finance a long weekend in Eureka Springs. Because if I don't get a change of scenery and a weekend that's not mainly about doing laundry and cleaning up pet poop soon I'm very likely to snap and hurt somebody.

~ Other things I'm thinking about:
  • Becoming an Avon rep. I figure I can sell it here at my office (we seem to be currently lacking an Avon Lady) and earn some extra money to throw at the credit cards--assuming I don't succumb to temptation and take too much advantage of the seller's discount. Anybody have any experience with this?

  • Jumpstarting Growing Up Money. I didn't mean to abandon it, but I did think about killing it and just re-opening the finance topic here. I don't think I want to kill it, though. If work will let up enough to let me, I'll infuse some life over there again.

  • Reshuffling the whole blog-website network. But again, until my workload lets up a little, that's a laughable notion. HA HA! See? Laughable.

~ I have TV thoughts, but I doubt I'll get around to writing them up today.

~ I have to pee.

~ Okay, here's one TV thought: Boo, Dreamz!

~ I'm slow on the uptake, but I just discovered the customizable Google homepage, and I'm in love with mine now that I've got it all tricked out. It has seriously streamlined how I waste time on the Internet and made me way more productive at my procrastination.

~ I'm going to go pee now.

Thoughts:

~Three day weekends are awesome.

~A job, marriage, housework, writing, and just plain living seem to be plenty for one person. Do you really want the aggravation and headache of ordering Avon and collecting money?

~Dreamz is a miserable excuse for a human being. So glad he was unanimously NOT chosen.

~I upgraded my Google page about a week ago. Initially, I went overboard and chose just about everything,which made loading the page take a few seconds! I've pared down to Oil Painting of the Day, Literary Quote of the Day, Astronomy Picture of the Day, and news links.
