•• Pretty Distraction ••

The weekends always go too quickly for me. It seems like I’m no more getting relaxed and started in on my fun– before it’s Sunday evening and almost time for bed. LOL

It’s not that I *hate* my job. I don’t. The people are really nice, and it’s not too bad. It’s complex work sometimes, and it can be frustrating… but, overall it’s not unbearable. However, the weekends are just too short. I had a lazy weekend too. Normally my favorite day of the week is Saturday. This is because, you can stay up as late as you want the night before, you can sleep in if you want, and you STILL have another whole day before the work week begins once again. Of course, this Saturday I was lazy. No, really…LAZY. I don’t know if it was just catching up to me or what, but I spent most of Saturday lounging around. I watched a few episodes of Season Six of Gilmore Girls. I love that show — I am such a fan. LOL I have Seasons 1 - 6 on DVD, and try to never miss an episode of the current one! Of course, my love for Sex and The City; Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Las Vegas, and Lost — is just as bad. But, we won’t go there

First week of classes went fine. The Library Course doesn’t seem too bad. Of course, it was only the first week! -lol-

I’m going to try to blog more… but, we’ll see. I have good intentions.. it’s just the actual setting down and blogging that I’ll have to get into the habit of doing again. Well, my bed is calling me (or maybe it’s just whispering) either way.. it’s time to get.

Have a good Monday!!

So I’m tweaking this and that. Hope this works. LOL I’ll delete this post later. Time to get to the bad place. LOL

Well, for now I think that I’ve decided on the “Title, Theme, etc” for my blog to be Catch and Release. Yes, the title did come to me while seeing the advertisement for the new movie with Jennifer Garner. The idea of the movie appeals to me, and in thinking back on my life, love, relationships, thoughts, etc… it just seemed to fit. In a sense, my blog will be catching my life, emotions… and then releasing them.  Now I just need to decide on the design of my blog. ugh. Of course, I’m using the sub title of Beautiful Silence. Thank you TheThinker for your comment and thoughts in my previous post.

I’m not new to blogging. Well, let me rephrase. I’m not new to journaling. I’ve been using LiveJournal for about 5 years or so. And, I’ve always kept a paper journal. Various notebooks have been used for my thoughts and randomness, instead of their original intended use: homework. I am fairly new to ‘blogging’ though. While LJ does hold some inviting things such as the communities, and a large network of being automatically connected… the idea of blog seems to appeal more to me as of late. So, I’m trying it out. I’ll keep the LJ, and the paper journals, of course.. but.. we’ll see how this goes. I’ll be adding more people to my blogroll, and hope that some will eventually add me too.

Well, time to get off here and finish getting ready. I’m braving the snow and melting icey roads for brunch and a much needed trip to hell.. errm, I mean Wal-Mart.

What’s in a name? A whole hell of a lot actually. Names are powerful. We choose names online that represent a part of us, perhaps it’s a hobby we have, or our profession, or maybe some silly thing that comes to mind. I try to choose names based on something inside. Something that will represent my true essence. And let me tell you, sometimes that decision is hard. I guess that’s why some people always pick on me for changing online names, email addresses, etc. I get set on one, that I think ‘fits’ me, only to find out a few months later that it no longer seems to ‘be’ me. At least, in my eyes it doesn’t ‘fit’ anymore. So, then I go on a search for something else that I feel ‘fits’ me — at least for the moment. Sure, it’s exhausting. But really, once I decide on something, I find other interests that seem to evolve from me. So now, I’m thinking about what to title my blog. Do I want to stay ‘bacardi blonde’ — or are there other things that ‘fit’ me better. I’ve thought of Beautiful Hush, Beautiful Silence, Tragic Beauty, Spilt Sugar, Taboo, Novel Girl, City Girl, and who knows what else. I just want something that ‘fits’, something that is ‘catchy’, you know — for those days when I become a ‘famous’ (LMAO!!) blogger and writer. I could ask the opinion of a few friends, but then I’d have to hear about how often I change names, and honestly — I am just not in the mood. LOL Yes, that sounds bitchy… I can’t help it. -blah-It’s getting late, and I’m mixed with being sleepy and being restless. Guess that’s it for the blog right now. -grins- I’m sure I’ll be bloggin this weekend, We have an Ice Storm here and are expecting 2 more ‘waves’ of ice, sleet and MAYBE some snow through out the weekend. I’ll be staying warm at home this weekend! J

Every year, I make “New  Years Resolutions” .. and every year without fail, I break them… usually within weeks of even making them.  This year, I thought that I’d do it all a little bit different. For 2007 I decided to make “Goals” instead of “resolutions” with the hopes that they might be easier to obtain and keep without that whole ‘Resolution” pressure. For some reason, I think the idea lf Goals is easier to acomplish… probably that analytical side of me. LOL

Now, please keep in mind that these goals are subject to change, I could add, I could take away.. I mean, they are MY goals, right? Right.

1. Live a better life
2. Stress a lot LESS
3. Find things to be happy about, and appreciate things more in life
4. Explore all of my creative endeavors (writing more, web design, photography, etc)
5. Become healthier overall
6. Read MORE!

…. to be continued.

So there ya have it. Now they are in digital black and white; no time like the present to start, right?
