Insanity is a dish best served microwaved

Productive day today.  The weather reminded me that we are indeed still in winter.  Obama won Wisconsin.  I got work done.  I don’t know what it is about rain, but it motivates the crap out of me.  I think the smell of the rain and watching one of nature’s most beautiful gifts is an energizer.  I mean, have you ever really thought about rain?  It’s pretty darn cool if you ask me.  Water is FALLING from the sky.  We can not even begin to start how to make weather–only ways to pollute to screw it up.  Little water beads fall on our head and they are brought directly to us–we don’t have to ask for it to be delivered, it just shows up.  Nifty.

I have been off a day all day.  What caused my rhythm to be thrown off you ask?  My gym workout. That’s right.  I worked out early on Monday morning, which I rarely do, and I got home from Yuba City thinking it was Tuesday because I didn’t have to go the gym.  It’s scary how routine driven I really am.  One slight change, and I’m off my rocker.  I must take note of that.

20/30 meeting tonight was actually pretty active for once.  We have a ton of events coming down the pipe–including my brilliant ice skating rink downtown idea.  I’ve been working on it for a month and now I have to put the metal to the ground to get this baby to fly.  Because we want to do it on city property there is politics, permits, and pissed off people… the three Ps.  If anyone can work through a bureaucracy, it’s me.  When on a task, I have the focus of a laser. I will not stop  until the product is done.

The other little project that I have on my back burner is my class reunion.  Technically, this really isn’t my job… it’s our class president’s job.  However, I was class president for three years, then student body my senior year.  Still, everyone still looks at me to get things done.  I called our class president to try to get this done and of course she didn’t call me back.  There’s a few people that are interested in doing the reunion.  So screw it; yet again I am in charge and I’m going to job the way it should be done. 

I also checked in our Europe trip to see if we were ahead or behind on the airfare and tour price.  I have happy to report that we are still ahead on both the ticket and tour.  That makes me feel a little better because we are going to get killed when we go to buy Euros.  But no loss of conversion is going to rain on my Europe parade.  I’m stoked to go.

Lots of stuff on the stove… I think I’ll make a work stew.
