Going Nuts

On Tuesday, I managed to drive myself bonkers.

Personally, I blame the weather. 110 degree of heat is insane! We aren't a desert here in Oklahoma. In fact the Northeastern section of our state used to be called 'Green Country'. I think we might have to change that to 'Brown Country' soon. It's not like this is an unusually temperature, but it's an extension of the days upon days of 100+ temps since JUNE. Ugh!

But then again, it could be the fact that I woke up at 3 freaking 30 AM! I finally gave up trying to go back to sleep at 4 AM. I thought, "Oh, I'll play a little Cafe World and write." I played CW, but then a CW friend IM'd me and that's all she wrote on the writing. Though I did manage to write 176 words--WooHoo--NOT!

So I went for my morning walk and felt quite refreshed afterwards. The kidlet had a friend spend the night and the girls wanted to swim. I managed to hold them off until I took a shower and had a smoothie.

--on a side note: My niece Carrie told me to try fresh spinach in my banana smoothies. So I did. It wasn't bad. I couldn't taste the spinach, though tiny bits did get stuck in my teeth!

3/4 cup 2% milk + 1/2-1 cup spinach leaves + frozen bananas (@ 1 1/2) = green smoothie 2 WW pts.

Anyhoo, while the girls frolicked in the pool. I took my netbook and worked on the synopsis of FIRE. I had about 500 words written and managed to delete most of it and wrote 300 new words. I like the synopsis so far, but now I have to BS my way through the rest of the story.

The girls were good, but distracting, so I decided to do 4 loads of laundry while I worked on the How-To article for Amy. She liked the way my blog looks and wanted me to write an easy how-to.

THIS is what finally pushed me over the edge. I started this blog 3-4 years ago and tweaked it as I went along. I didn't do it all at once!

I think I dug myself deep as I went into far too much detail. I called Amy (she was gone) left a pitiful message and decided to walk away and iron some shorts. By the time Amy called back, I knew where I went astray. I'll probably ditch most of what I wrote and start over with the basics.

Though my kidlet is now off playing at BounceU, I decided to throw in the towel for the day. My allergies/summer cold is bothering me (watery eyes, runny nose, etc) and I'm mentally drained. I have about an hour of peace and quiet.

I think I'll sit down to enjoy Judge Judy eviscerate some poor fool.

Later, Peeps!
