i'm not as young as i used to be...

last night was packed... i left work early, went home in a frenzy to straighten my apartment for my girls from church to come over and decorate boxes for them to put their memory verses in... i frantically picked everything up, shoving a lot of clothes into the closet... and waited... and waited... luckily, i had gilmore girls to keep me company... they were supposed to be there at 5:00... and i had accidentally double-booked myself, making the plans with the girls, forgetting about beckie's birthday... i think i need a day planner and a franklin covey seminar...

so about 5:30, beckie calls me back... i had called to see if friend jeff could come with me for dessert after the girls leave... and then i tell her that none of the girls have shown up... i thought, if they don't get here by 6:00 or a little after, i may just go to beckie's for dinner...

5:45 - the girls show up... and i pull out all the stuff i got, which i think was a disappointing show, but it cost a lot of money (for me)... by the time i bought the boxes and fun beads and stickers to go on them, i spent $40... and then i ended up having to buy dinner... so they'd just have to get over the lack of tons of fun craft supplies...

we watched superstar and decorated boxes and talked... and i mentioned that i had to go to beckie's after they left, so maybe their parents should pick them up around 8:00 or so... which was fine with them... about 7:30, one of them asks me if i can take her home, because her mom can't get there... of course... so i end up taking them all home... and we didn't leave until 8:45 and then i headed over to beckie's... i thought i'd get there at 8:00 or 8:30... instead it's 9:30... luckily there was still cheesecake left...

then we hung out and talked and talked and talked... me, rea, beckie, jessica and dave... and the next thing i know it's 1 a.m.... eww... so i head home and realize that i have beauty and the geek and lost recorded and i really wanted to watch them, because i'm not going to have time tonight... and i think i have to give up my tape to the beckie, jess and angela tonight for beauty and the geek, because they didn't watch it... so i stay up and watch them after i get home... 3 a.m. and i'm heading to bed, alarm set for 7 a.m....

i woke up at the time when i'm supposed to leave to get to work on time... so i called my boss and left a message telling him i had some stuff to get done this morning... (get extra sleep) and that i'd be in at 9:30... (which is not a big deal at all) i rolled into work about 9:50... but i don't have anything to do, so it really doesn't matter...

i'm working through my lunch break because i feel bad about being late... and now it's almost 1:00 and i still have 3.5 hours left in the day... and i'm so tired... i really wish i was at home right now, in my bed... instead, i'm going to get something out of the vending machine for lunch, have a diet coke and start working on dreamweaver tutorials... at least it's something to do...
