Life and movies

Went out with "the girls" last Friday. Had fun but I noticed something. They were talking and talking about their lives on and on and I was like "work, family...yeah." True a vast majority of their talk was bitching about boyfriends, but it kind of drove home how much of a holding pattern I am in; existing as opposed to living. I'm not unhappy, just ____.

Anyway, also saw Lord of the Rings again last weekend. Basically saw the movie, read the book, then saw the movie. I actually think I liked it better before having read the book. I was more able to get totally engrossed in the story because I wasn't thinking "They left that out, such and such is happening next, this is important cause in the next book..." I did, however, catch names and connections a lot easier having read the book and was much happier with the ending since a) I knew what it could have been if they ended it where the book ended and b) knew how the whole thing ended.

Had good eeyorekdm phone time. Guess the math is two months without a phone call equals a two hour phone call. Playing catch-up is good. Letters and email are nice, but it doesn't beat the hyperactive babbling over top of each other's babble that ensues when we actually talk.

Not much else to say, just doing my best to put off work. See how well I did?

(no subject)

Just got a call from my mom "If you're looking for the phone when you get home, you won't find it; it's in my purse."

Ah, the trials and tribulations of a cordless phone.

Argh!

So is random inept stupidity a perk of being human or is it just one of the joys of being me?

I'm strapped for cash this month as the boss decided that biweekly paychecks is too much of a pain in the ass and we should switch to monthly, which is fine in concept except for the transition month as I"m trying to stretch two weeks salary over a month without dipping into savings. So when I got an insurance reimbursement I was happy.

Ran errands at lunch today post office, bank etc. Got to the bank and the check had disappeared. Yep, you guessed it, brilliant person that I am, I deposited it in the mailbox with all my mail. ARGH!!

Called the Post Office, they said they'd see what they can do, but I"m just pissed at myself for my stupidity. GRRRRR!
