Today I ...

1. Cleaned my bathrooms at 8 in the morning.  A great way to start the day (not).  I hate the bathrooms.  But I thought I would do them in my morning cleaning routine to get them over with.

2. Listened to Neil Diamond.  I'm just in the mood to hear his silky smooth voice.   Too bad there's only two songs in my iTunes library.  If only I could find DH's danged CD.

3.  Ate breakfast twice.  First was old fashioned oats with brown sugar.  I hate instant ... I'm not trying to be an organics elitist by specifying the old fashioned bit (like some bloggers might be).  And then it was cold cereal post gym.  I guess the oats didn't last like they should have.

4.  Clicked on the People online more than once.  It's a habit.  And a guilty one at that.  Why do I even care what celebrities are doing?  In my defense, I am better than I used to be.  I used to actually read the stories.  Now I just click, look and get one with my life (only clicking on the really compelling stories).  Sad, sad person that I am. 

5. Surfed the internet for DH job opportunities, looked at real estate and got really depressed.  How does anyone afford a home??  Even with the drop in market, I'm not seeing a lot of options out there for us.  I mean it's not like DH won't make a decent salary once he's practicing, but let's be honest, you don't become rich by being a pediatrician.  So we're looking at moderately priced homes, which eliminates a lot of areas we can even apply for jobs in.  Will we ever find a place to live and a job???

6.  Carried on lengthy conversations with Little C.  He's speaking in full-length sentences.  Phrases like, "I want one too."  Or, "Love you too mom,"  are commonplace like overnight.  He's far more verbally advance than Mr. M was at this age, who gave mostly one word grunts at 2.  

It's noon.  I wonder what else I can get done today.  Or maybe I reached my zenith and the rest is downhill?

It is Just Do It week here ... which means I do have a long list of things I've been avoiding that I need to just bite the bullet and finish.  I wonder which ones of those I can muster up enough will power to complete....

Umm, today I've eaten breakfast and lunch. And checked your blog, my daily highlight. Ooo, I showered too, washing my hair, which is a huge accomplishment these days (which is just sad -- sad AND stinky).

You organic elitist you! I'm so with you on the housing situation. I wonder if we'll ever be able to afford a house either. That's why we're looking into places like Texas and North Carolina...yikes! Oh, don't worry, I check People online everyday, too. I blame boredom.

Impressive! My issue is: I have what we call "Super Days", but then I am left completely exhausted and I don't get anything done for the next 3 days - which in the end I am worse off then when I started:)

I also feel guilty about my People online habit! Glad I'm not alone. Oh the shame! But I read the entire Washington Post every Sunday, so does that cancel it out?

And I too am anxiety ridden about ever finding a house. After 8 years of college/med school, internship and a 4 year residency, it's quite possible we'll be renting again after our next move if the Navy sends us to CA. Unbelieveable!
