How come....

Whenever I have time to blog I have nothing to say?

Instead, when I'm too busy to blog I think of all the things I would blog about if I had the time.

Like the new class I'm taking at the Fitness Center called "Drums Alive!" It's pretty much an excuse to jump around and bang on an exercise ball for 45 minutes with real drumsticks. Only fun until someone pokes an eye out. And since there are people who are even less coordinated than I am in that class, it's a real possibility.

Side note-I'm listening to the worst song ever-Bobby Russell, "Saturday Morning Confusion". I think I need one of those drumsticks to put in my ear canal.......

I took the day off on Friday. Which would have been fantastic except for the cold I started getting Thursday night. So that meant most of Friday was spent laying on the couch, and I didn't really shake the cold until Sunday. The injustice is I have the equivalent of 60 days of sick time and I get sick on the weekend when I can't use it.

Work's easing up a bit. We have another big project coming up similar to other projects we've done before, but the good thing is this time I have a staff that can take care of the day to day stuff while I attend meetings and concentrate on this project. But my employee with the longest amount of experience is going on maternity leave soon. I hope she comes back. To my department, that is.

I'm also working on a certification that gives me a career change option. I'm almost halfway through the class now and I enjoy what I'm learning. It's still a little scary to contemplate a career change, but I'm starting to feel stagnate in what I'm doing now.

Two new shows to check out-Sons of Anarchy on FX and Trueblood on HBO. The writing is very original, and the characters are extremely engaging. I've also starting watching Fringe, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Mike and I poked a lot of holes in the pilot, and he's not watching it anymore. Also, the special effects guy must be JJ Abrams' cousin or something, because every location change was announced in GIANT FLOATING LETTERS. It got rather silly after a while. Another show that was watched and jettisoned after one episode was Raising The Bar. Predictable, predictable, and predictable.

I leave you with the song "My Girl Bill" by Jim Stafford. Boy, I'm glad I don't remember a lot of songs from the Seventies...
