the lettuce chased the frozen dinner... but i caught them both.

So, yesterday was one of the longest days I've ever experienced. I got out of work at 5:30, and was shocked because getting off the bus in the morning was a complete blur to me. Does that ever happen to you? I couldn't remember walking into work this morning! Craziness!! I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before either so that might have had something to do with it. But, the day had lasted so long and crawled by so fast, that my memories of the morning and eating Fruit Loops seemed like a completely different day. Does that happen to anyone else?? I did go grocery shopping last night though, and bought many good food items so I can make my lunches and take them to work... I was very proud of myself. And I made chicken last night, on a George Forman grill, and it was YUMMY. I had another moment of extreme pride. Good pride, I think, because most of the food I used to eat was microwaveable and in containers found in the frozen foods section. I was happy! And then, I made my lunch today and I felt very responsible. I know that sounds corny, but I was happy. I'm used to just buying things and sticking them in a microwave, but today, I will eat a sandwich that I made myself along with fruit that I put in a container! You can laugh at me if you want, but it's an accomplishment to me.

But anyways, back to yesterday... there's days when the time just seems to go by SO slowly!! And yup, you guessed it, yesterday was one of them. Anyways, I need to start work now, but today will go by a lot faster... until tonight, because I'm hanging out with Becca tonight and I'm excited. But, until then, maybe work could just go faster...

Which made me think about that story about the guy who wants to be able to fast-forward certain parts of his life, and the guy shows up with the ball and the string coming out of it.. and all you have to do is pull the string and it'll fast-forward through whatever's boring... so he pulls the string whenever he's bored... But then, he gets to the end of his life a lot quicker and can't put all the string in the ball again... and he missed out on so much. Gosh! If I could just fast-forward today... sigh. Oh well. I like the little moments, because those memories last longer than any planned event.
