the dysthymic Annie grudgingly considered the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan?

*lifted from Serendipity starring one of my heartthrobs: John Cusack. I turned on the TV when I got home tonight and it was on the last 15 minutes.  Such a beautiful ending no?

I drove most of the day from here to there and even stopped by a house that I saw online.  It’s empty so I took a minute to walk through the backyard, looking in the windows and noticing the neighbors’ yards.  

It was less than ideal to say the least.

Seems that’s been par for the course lately.

But let’s get back to sunshine and syrupy hotcakes…

I got a phone call from Long Beach today and she’s doing great.  Expecting a baby boy and getting a Dula. It’s a beautiful thing - she’s a wonderful human being - that kid will be loved and nurtured like nobody’s business.

She’s toying around with Ivan and Ely for names.  I told her I really like the name Sky (I’m gonna name my child this no doubt) as well as Rhys (love the spelling).  She liked it and she’s gonna discuss it with her man.  Hope she doesn’t pick it

Seems that LA got the final ‘I don’t know’ from her boyfriend of 3 years when given an ultimatum about marriage.  I told her that she needs to get the ring on her finger before opting to drag this crap out - and goodness if he doesn’t know by now?!  Jerk told her, ‘It should be on my terms not yours.  I don’t like the way you are handling this’. 

‘Stick to your guns LA - or else you’ll get dragged around for another 3 years and it’ll be the same tired sh%$.’

But the heart is always stupid when it comes to decision making…

Oh well.

Whoops - let’s go back to that powder blue sky and those bluebirds chirping…

I had the best Thai food for dinner tonight.

I savored every bite and thought to myself - this is AWESOME.

I’ve been addicted to the bookworm game online - it’s so enjoyable.  I guess I’ll play it for a bit before heading off to bed tonight.

It’s another intense day again tomorrow.

I’m gonna write that line from the movie and post it up where I can see it.

It gives one hope.

Cats couple and I went to breakfast - it was swell.

Then we came over to my place to hang out for a bit before an open house and Mr. Cats helped me clear out the entire lanai!  It was awesome, awesome, awesome.  It would have taken me FOREVER to do this and I’m tellin’ ya - there’s nothing like getting rid of CRAP to make you feel like you are telling the universe LOUD and CLEAR -

LOOK- I’M READY TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!

It was awesome.

The open house however was NOT.

Oh well.

Came home, finished off the lanai by sweeping it and cleaning the outside of those windows.  

Now I’m sulking because it’s 11:00pm and I want another day off.

Oh well.

At least it was a sunny day and 

my friends

made it

so 

wonderful.

So this is basically how I felt last week.  

Yesterday on my day off, I took one of my teens out because I just didn’t have the time during the week to give him the attention that he deserves.  

Needless to say, he loves the mall.

‘I’m not buying you anything today.  I’m broke’

‘Ok, I know.’

Well the damage wasn’t that bad and each time I learn something new about him.  

I started cleaning up around here last night and today I’ve just got the bathroom left but I think I can knock that out tonight.

Yep, another Saturday night spent cleaning the bathroom.

See?

That’s one of the small pleasures of being single.

Meanwhile, I’ve managed to hurt my other knee while VACUUMING?  

Feels like I pinched a nerve or something.  It’s hurt now for 2 whole days.

WTF?  

Waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Not to mention the base of my skull is killing me.

Cats couple is coming in the morning to go to breakfast and they want to go to some open houses.

There are very very few open houses in my price range.  It’s even worse that what’s available is mediocre at best but I did manage to find one house in Oakland and 2 condos on the peninsula.  I found a breakfast place in Pacifica that opens at 10:30 with plenty of parking and a place for her to sit in case we have to wait for a minute.  They like to see the ocean so they can enjoy it on the ride over and then I could drive us across the bay if they want to go.

I guess I’ve decided that along with my botox appointment that’s sorely overdue that I also need to make an appointment to see a therapist.

Now if you’ll excuse me

Laurence Welk is on 

and I’ve got a toilet

to 

scrub.
