I regret watching the Academy Awards last night. I mean I enjoyed them more then I have in the past but they ran until 12:15am and I am now exhausted.
I am one of those people who needs the full eight hours of sleep if I am going to be a functioning human being the next morning. I also find that as I get older (okay let's be honest here... I am 35 and that is not THAT old) I begin to find myself in a way of life that is very comfortable to me. I enjoy things just the way they are.
My life, to many, would be incredibly boring I am sure.
I awake in the morning no later then 7:20am in order to begin my day. I say that I awake no later due to the fact that my dog, Jack may wake me a bit earlier so I can walk him around the block in the morning (to check his pee-mail).But 7:20 is the latest I allow myself to get up.
I have to watch "The Today Show" in the morning and check out the weather and traffic on the NBC channel. I get in the shower at 8:00am and am dressed and out the door by 8:30am. I catch the metro (it saves on gas...but I now wonder why I watch the traffic reports) to Rosslyn, Virginia for a 9:15am work day. The I work all day long at CATO Travel. I like to take a lunch around 2:15 as it makes for an easier day. The later the lunch, the sooner I get to go home.
By Six O'clock I am ready for home and I metro home. As much as I love my husband, Mark it is nice when he works the night shift then I can have my ritual. I come home....walk the dog... turn on The View (Tivo'd from the morning) and eat dinner while watching that. Then depending on the situation, I will watch One Life to Live, Days of Our Lives or life television which include Ugly Betty or American Idol.
By ten o'clock I am ready for bed and I walk Jack one last time and then go to bed and read.
It is an easy life for me and I enjoy it. I hate it when things go all wonky (that word is stolen from my sister's blog. I like the word wonky and I am sure if she uses it then it must be a real world --- she is a linguist)
Wonky situation arise when Mark is home all day.... or I have to do something afterward. Wonky days are Sundays when I have The Washington Academy followed by the Academy Awards....
But I won't complain... I mean really... who would listen?

Patchwork Post
The trouble with keeping a blog I have thought is that I wonder if I will have enough to say on a regular basis. Some days I could run on and on and on about what probably is nothing and other days I am sure I have absolutely nothing to say. I figure that if I keep it up every day I will find that somewhere down the road this blog will make sense.
People say that you should have a reason for writing in a blog. My sister, for example has a blog about knitting. Sure, she discusses other aspects of her life but the goal of her blog is to write about knitting. I actually have read some of her blog and it is really fascinating. She also is a linguist professor so her words are so much better then my simple-ton language.
I thought maybe I could write about my job. The fun thing about my job is that I work for Congress in Washington DC. Yes, it sounds glamorous but trust me, at five minutes to close when they call and want to know why they cannot fly direct from Beirut to Tel Aviv you begin to wonder who these people really are working for the our elected officials. (For the record... You have to fly from Beirut to Istanbul to Tel Aviv becuause Lebanon & Isreal do not get along.... But I assume you are smart enough to know these thing.) I thought I could talk about the gossip and tell wonderful stories about the travel aspects of our Senaters and Congresspersons but then I realized that there are only about 10 of us who work in the office and if they found out it was me, I would probably get in trouble. (Plus I am not good at lying and would somehow blab out the information to someone.
Another topic brought up was my drag performing. For those of you in the know-how.... Drag is short/slang for a Female Illusionist although there is nothing illuding to the fact that I am man in a dress. You can tell. I do not channel the glamour and beauty of a Angelina Jolie or a Anne Hathaway. But for some bizarre reason, I have talent and I do well and people seem to like me.. It is fun to do but I do not do it often enough to make a blog about it.
So two topics out the window and I am wondering what I should really write about. In the process I also realized that I did not have enough to talk about single topics such as my new sewing habit,Broadway musicals, my dog Jack or my cats, Zipity & MorningStar or even my always patient husband, Mark.
So it struck me that maybe I do not have to just discuss one thing. I am more then sum of one thing. I am many dimentions of one person. SO this is what it is. A quilt, as you might see it, of my life beginning this year. Of course, I will talk about the past and hit upon the future but for now we blog about the current.
