Happy Monday

I totally forgot about the spring forward thing this weekend. I'm still adjusting but I like the lighter later thing. Especially since I'm gonnna be at the beach this upcoming weekend. ;) The man and I are celebrating six years of wedded bliss. Okay, maybe not all of those years have been 'bliss' but it's been six pretty damn good years. He's traveled a lot thanks to the Marine Corps, contract jobs, and of course the construction job he had for about a year where I saw him once every three weeks. It's weird, but the past few months seem like nothing now that I know I'm going to see him again, even if it's only for a few days! Once I have a light at the end of the tunnel, everything else sorta fades away.

Over the weekend I saw Green Zone. It was interesting, not exactly what I expected. I was sort of thinking it would be more of a 'Bourne Ultimatum' thing but that's what I get for not reading up on it first. Even though it wasn't what I expected I think they did a good job of portraying the bureaucratic BS between the agencies. In case you don't know what it's about either, it takes place in 2003 right after the invasion of Iraq and the unrealistic ideals a lot of people in Washington (w/ limited knowledge of the Middle East) had about what it would be like going to war. There's more to it than that, but the end left me feeling a little hollow b/c it's 2010 and not a lot has changed. That's a subject for another day and likely not on this blog, but if you're thinking about seeing it, maybe wait til it comes out on video.

I also met with three of my writer buddies Saturday night and they talked me off a ledge. Sometimes it's easy to bottle stuff up and pretend I live in a vacuum and am the only person who deals w/ rejections, etc. but meeting w/ my friends put life and writing into perspective in a good way. It was something I didn't realize I'd needed until I got there :) Tracy, Jax, and Chudney, you know I heart you!!

What did everyone else do this weekend? I don't where you are, but the weather finally cheered up a bit here and we got some decent sunshine. Always a plus! Oh yeah, and I got a long overdue pedicure. I had some seriously bad claws going on. Had to get that taken care of before this weekend ;)
