Too Much Time, Too Lil' Wine...

It's barely 3 o’clock and I am sitting here wishing it were already 6pm. I am staring out of the French doors of my office where the windows are filled with fog and droplets of water from the long awaited rainstorm and wishing I were curled up on my couch with a warm blanket watching chick flicks or catching up on the rest of my Chelsea Lately that I have permanently saved on my DVR. The rain has subsided and the flowers have gained most of their color back. I will say that It thrills me to know that I don't have to rush home, drag the hose out and spend the rest of the evening watering my lawn. Although these days, I have learned to cope with lugging the heavy sprinkler around if I have a glass of wine waiting for me inside or if my gal pal across the street joins me in watering her lawn, but more importantly joins me in sipping a glass and gossiping. Girl talk never gets old. I often ask myself, why didn't I think of this before?? Life is too short, so consider prolonging it with a glass of Red...

As the time slowly passes I get more and more anxious, but I would really love to see a human being at least once today who wants to consider the possibility of buying a new home, hell I'd even go for just showing them all of the pretty décor that we have inside the model home... cause the monotony of doing nothing is killing me! Meanwhile I have the sound of cars zooming along the Westpark Tollway and well...yeah, that's about it. So I sit here, desperately wondering if maybe I should go set up a lemonade stand out on the corner to lure potential buyers but then again it is cold and rainy...

Knowing that I hate the cold, the idea quickly faded into dust and it brings me to a random thought that wow, Thanksgiving is only 22 days away, crazy! Weren’t we just welcoming twenty-ten?? So much for that diet I was going to attempt "tomorrow" so, I guess it will have to wait until 2011. I'd hate to starve myself during the most vital time of eating...and with Christmas quickly following after that, I know that it would just be torturous and unfair to let others down by not eating their beloved treats. Honestly, the thought of eggnog already has me foaming at the mouth, as if the Pumpkin Spice Latte wasn't enough...

Oy vey which reminds me, I am totally dreading Ash Wednesday and frankly you should too!! I will be without Starbucks for 40 days. “GASP!” (Yes, I know... I am in just as much shock writing this as you were reading it). I am not sure what that will entail, but I CAN assure you that it won't be pretty!! So, knowing that I still have a few months before my drought period, I'd better get it while it's hot...

Having that I've already had my first Starbucks fix for the day and probably year, I don't have much else to look forward to following work. Although, I do like the idea of hitting up the mall for a little retail therapy, you really can't go wrong there... even if you're merely window shopping OR as I like to call it, preparing for Christmas and my birthday...

We shall see what my wild Wednesday night turns into post day labor, but rest assure it will be more than uneventful and borderline exciting...
