The Weekly Adventures of an Ordinary Girl: crotch rockets, books and pushing on

crotch rockets, books and pushing on

my eyes are burning, my television is on

I should be doing one thousand other things

but instead I'm listening to the interstate

when summer hits, when the first nice days turn into nice nights they show up - the crotch rockets

everything on this planet has it's own voice, a sound that is distinct to its nature. even things that are made of metal - especially things that are made of metal

the crotch rocket is no different. the motor revs then it hums its high pitch sound...

I sat here so many nights with the windows closed tight and the interstate muffled by the snow

winter brings silence - isolation

I find I long for the sound of the interstate and I know I'll never be truly comfortable with only silence - the silence the country brings with it.

the city is inside of me, in my veins. the sounds. smells. the dirt.

I appreciate the country, the trees, fresh water - starry night skies

but still

at one A.M.

I'd much rather hear the crotch rockets

I had a good weekend. It re energized me about writing and pushing forward to do what I need to do in order to reach the goals I have recently set for myself. I now sit here working on this little piece for this moment, because in just one more I need to write for an hour so I can go to bed. Tomorrow, who knows...

I should make a list of things I need to accomplish to keep moving:

water the garden
water the house plants
clean/re-organize the office
clean/re-organize the attic
finish work project
finish typing for the husbands mom
finish chapter 3
outline comic idea
outline script idea
watch Warehouse 13 and do review

And that's just for tomorrow... OH! I also have two websites to start...

I always tell my husband we should hire a maid and a nanny - personally I'd just like to be independently wealthy so I can hire Lloyd from Entourage. In my opinion he's the best personal assistant ever.

And he's cute. I want to smush him. Yes, I want to smush the gay asian man from Entourage.

But sadly here is the reality of tomorrow.

wake up
workout
check email
retrieve child from parents
feed child chicken (oh, my kids is not a vegetarian. suddenly I wonder how much longer I'll be a vegetarian. not being a copout - its hard when you're the one cooking the food.)
work - for the job that pays the bills
clean
play with the child
attempt to clean some more
play with husband
watch assigned shows for blog
write blog

For now I'm going to go to sleep.

No I'm not.

For now I'm going to work on something I want to work on THEN I'll go to sleep.

After the snoring stops.

And before I go - here are my 15 books:

Women - Charles Bukowski

Love is a Dog From Hell - Charles Bukowski

The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas

Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

The Dark Knight Returns - Frank Miller

Siddhartha - Herman Hess
