Bons pensamentos

"Good Thoughts" in Portuguese. I am just laying in bed. Sliding my legs all around my delicious bed with 600 thread count silvery gray sheets and tucked into my luscious "as-is" deep purple comforter from Ikea. I have been resting because yesterday I set-up, grilled, entertained, and tore down the Luau themed cookout that we had at work. I might have worked a 12 hour day but I chose to do so. It's not every day that we have a team cookout. Everyone loved it which is why I thrive in those situations. Someone told me how I love to care for others. Accurate observation. I need to take care of myself at the same time. Hence the laying in bed until the last possible moment, which is approaching very quickly. I woke up at 10:30am. Told myself I would ONLY check my e-mail and write in my blog. Well... I multi-task and flutter around online and got a lot done but not in the 30 minutes i allotted myself. I found a "Banishing Baby Belly Fat" article I sent to Mandi, my Californian cousin who I am visiting in Sept. Sent the song "These are the moments" by Edwin McCain to some people dear to me that I wish were geographically closer because my heart hurts from the distance. I also G-chatted with my dad who is in Netherlands, one of those dear to me that is not so near. We spoke about bills and our passions. Interesting how that conversation continues to come up. As my dad likes to say, "It's an almond!" a.k.a. an omen. HA! Its the Papa Joe code. I read a chapter in the "Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. I am awaiting the inevitable tears from a heart wrenching story. I read all 3 of my best friends blogs and I am realizing how much I love them and knowing what they are up to. The distance is tough but our friendships have only grown stronger every year as we go through this thing called life.


"I could not ask for more than the love you give me,
Cause it's all I've waited for.
And I could not ask for more." - Edwin McCain

Since my cell phone is still dead and only mildly charges in my car, this gives me time to type and not be on my crackberry although, I have become more connected with more people with the technology at my fingertips now that I have that little device. Now, I haven't been able to check Facebook statuses every 5 minutes which leaves me more time to ponder about life and rest a bit more. HA!

Seize the day...in bed. That's what I have done so far. I have much to look forward to and can't wait to see what today brings.

Time to get up.
