geeze peeps. it appears i made a huge mistake by using the wrong term yesterday. by "exciting" i just meant busy/actually having things to do. sorry to disappoint, i don't have a sweet engagement announcement to make like amy or anything. i'm seriously a really boring person, so excitement in my life is just a half-step up from my usual boringness. while i am only a mid-20's "adult", my life is just work, run, hang out around the house, sleep, rinse, repeat. seriously. i don't do exciting things like most people my age, and i still don't see how married people or people with kids actually find the time to do everything they do. maybe i'm just really lazy...
i'm currently sitting in my living room looking out the front of my house at the blue, sunny sky and waiting to run. if i turn around to look out on the backyard there are dark, menacing clouds with lightning and thunder. i'm torn. do i get my short (5-6 miles) run in and hope the storm doesn't come or do i wait it out a bit... currently i'm waiting it out. knowing my luck this means the storm will be hanging directly over my house in an hour or so when i plan on running.
my life though, has just gotten busy. i've been gone the past two weekends so absolutely nothing gets done around the house (and, surprise surprise, i'm traveling again this weekend). after working 9-10 hours everyday, the last thing i want to do is come home and do dishes, laundry, go food shopping, put away clothes from two weeks ago, or even make dinner. (yes i know, some of you work even longer hours, have children and still manage to fend for yourselves.) maybe i should start taking photos of my dinners like jess and matt. i'm sure you'd be so enthralled by my bowl of cereal, scrambled eggs, slices of turkey lunch meat, or microwavable easy mac. (all meals i have eaten this week.) i have no motivation when it comes to actually being an adult. there's mail piled up on the kitchen table from at least two months ago (hope i paid all the bills!) and i have dirty clothes that have been sitting in my laundry bag for who knows how long.
on top of my regular laziness, desire to just chill after work and being gone every weekend, i found out this week i will be switching projects at work for a couple of months. i think the number one thing i am excited about getting to wear jeans and a t-shirt every day. i'm easy to please. i've been busy wrapping things up in the office and getting ready to temporarily move to the bfe. (where 99% of engineering projects take place.) this makes me even more "tired" when i get home and less likely to even consider doing some sort of house maintenance. may god bless the man who thinks it'd be a great idea to marry me.
why am i so lazy about 'being an adult'? really, how do you do it? i feel like i failed at growing up.
alright well weather.com is telling me it is only cloudy now with only a 20% chance of rain so i guess i should get off my lazy butt and slog a few miles. i'm lazy you know, so i'm thinking just 3-4 miles now...
scratch that. it either just thunder-boomed or a tree fell on my house. i'm not sure. i'm hoping it was just thunder.
