I am running on a few hours sleep this morning. Perhaps it is
retribution for keeping another blogster up past bedtime. My
choice to stay up, though.
I was debating life, the pursuit of ourselves, and Who exactly is God
with a fellow buddy here in Blogsterville. No real resolution, of
course.
I appreciate those who can disagree agreeably. Shake hands, bow,
do a jig, whatever. You show your respect for one another and
wait for the next time you can to brain war.
I think I fell asleep about 6. I don't know. My mind was
almost spinning with the thoughts of my life and where it is going.
I took several people's advice, including my son's, and went out last
night. What a drag! The first club was a place I once
frequented and enjoyed a bit of drinking and dancing. Last night
was strictly ice water and large room full of people I didn't know for
the most part and wasn't interested in getting to know.
Bars and clubs change personalities. And clientele.
Apparently at the stroke of midnight the club would have filled up
quickly, the dance floor would have been crammed, and one of many
disagreements (not agreeably) would have begun. Like Cinderella,
I ran out before the bell tolled.
I went to another watering hole, an old haunt years ago. There I
ran into more friends and former acquaintances, but like me, they had
all gone on in their lives and were wrapped up in the moment. It
was okay, but it seemed glaringly to me that the majority were
couples! Could anybody see that huge hole in chest where my heart
used to be?
As the designated driver of myself I dutifully finished my ice water
and left after 1. I think the party has left the girl. It
was frustrating to me that for whatever reason, it just wasn't fun any
more.
I have come to the conclusion that my party is of a different
sort. It's not that I can't have a good time, it just comes in
other ways now. That is not so bad. I will leave the
clubbing and bar hopping to others.
I think daughter woke me about 8 and lovingly let me sleep until 9
without interruption. I set my alarm for 9:00 on purpose so I
would not oversleep. I am responsible for refreshments at church
group this morning, so I needed to get up.
Daughter and I baked a batch each of apple cinnamon muffins and banana
muffins. She is so pleased with her mashing skills. Maybe
I'll let her loose on some potatoes one day...lol.
I am sitting here with lukewarm coffee and needing a refill the size of
a tanker. Am attempting to wake up, but not doing too bad this
morning.
Daughter and I are working on a half batch (6 muffins) to use up the
rest of the bananas. First banana batch will come out, then put
that one in. Five more minutes and that batch will be out.
Note to self: get to church early, not on time or running in at the last possible moment!
I am so proud of myself. I outlasted the boys last night, and if
I really wanted, I could have pulled an all-nighter. Now I
need to go wake their grumpy butts up.
They better get up and go to church. I am allowing my son to go
to a concert this afternoon and he is psyched. Megadeth!
It's almost like Christmas morning for him...lol.
I really need to say goodbye for now, and have a restful day. I
hope I do to. Here's a toast with my ice water (last night) and
coffee (this morning) that we all find it to be a peaceful Sunday.
My fingers are crossed...
Debbie

To Cindy: Unlike Tom Cruise, I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!! [LOL] Really, I can. I don't like sunshine blown up my skirt. [THUMBDOWN] I agree with you. Jon is a gem of a man. We are lucky to know him. [HEART]
