Very weird, but somewhat nice too. I turned off all Twitter updates -except direct messages. Allowed me to totally veg in front of some movies. Which is a good thing, because I was crazy, and although I wasn't feeling well, did some pilates along with some yoga. My body was in conplete confusion over all the activity and still no food. lol (Would have liked to of gone for a walk but not sure if that would of been a good idea.) It was weird having a few hours to myself and not be connected on purpose. I think I forgot how much I like to have control of certain parts of my life. Could be addicting again. :P lol
I'm pretty excited about my plants so far this year. I thought I was going to lose most of my plants (especially the roses) due to all those cold snaps we were getting, but to look at it all now, you wouldn't know it. Each year my long stem roses have a few more blooms, and it looks like this year will out do the others. My rose bush has so many buds on it right now. Not sure if the picture does the one branch justice. I still need to go out and 'redirect' it, it always likes to try and go across my window. Not that I don't like the flowers, but it looks messy, and who wants messy roses? (OK, I'll probably have messy roses, because I should probably do some pruning now, and I just don't want to. I want flowers!! lol)
The Irises are popping up great as well. Once they are done, the lilies should pop up. The spearmint has already taken over it's corner. Seriously, anyone want some? It'll grow and grow and grow...and smell great! :)
So all that is left is the patch of death. I keep meaning to try some sunflowers there. Cliche' I know, but hey, if they'll grow... I want to put the hardy mums back, but they couldn't take that spot either. curses! I may put all my planters there and put some simply veggies and herbs in them. Just have a planter garden in the middle...where everyone can walk past it and go "OH!! She has cucumbers!!" ...because I am going to grow cucumbers in a planter. :) If those two plans fail I will put the skull staff back there to warn good plants to stay away. (Even the weeds don't like it! And I HAVE changed the soil. THREE times!! ugh)
Caroline is thinking she is a bit amused at how dark her hair is right now...but she likes it. She felt a bit better when someone else said it looked darker, because she was wondering if it was just her. She was happy to keep her length, much to the bewilderment of friends who love cutting off their hair. lol Now she just needs that tan to go along with it.
She's also thinking that maybe she should track her couch-5k progress. She's been working on it for the past week. Although, she fully admits she has to alter it slightly when her asthma starts up. :( poopy. So she's not exact. At least she's trying right? She's also thinking that she had seen a friend post in her blog the push up challenge and considered it then...but did nothing. Nothing makes her happier then another challenge. lol But we'll see, she'd have to find lots more time in the week to fit it all in at once with all that she is doing already.
Caroline is thinking that she is totally thankful for a friend that carried out a deep conversation with her via text today. Was very much needed, and really needed someone to tell her she really isn't bi-polar. lol Sometimes she worries. :)

The twinkling lights drew them near
Out the door and across the green floor
The animals in the ground noted the passing
And with light making diamonds of their eyes
Watched from below
With necks stretched up
And ears full of silence
The eyes took in more than they thought they could
Wanting to burn the memory of it all
The calmness
The coolness
The sharpmess of each star gazing down
So that in years future
When no longer able to walk the path
They can recall it all
And imagine
So today the BIG WINTER STORM was supposed to hit my town. Now, granted, it still could, but at worst, there were little ice pellets that fell from the sky and melted on impact. Not that this fact stopped people from acting stupid in both driving and acting like we would be holed up in our houses for days and days. lol Ah well.
I get to work Saturday morning...(that would be in less then 7 hours) so for my 'reward' I get a half day off. Friday was the day. So I left a little after 1. Happily I got to meet a friend downtown for sushi. She is sort of new to it, and its been fun getting her to try new things...as I myself am still trying to try new things. lol We have the basics down though. It worked out perfectly too because it is Lent, and I am Catholic, and although I am sort of messing some of the things I wanted to do over these 40 days, I can at least try to refrain from meat on Fridays.
I don't always get to hang out with this friend because our schedules are both weird, but I love it when I do. She is honest, and not judgmental...weird, lots of my friends are like that. lol Maybe that's why I keep them around. Anyway, we were talking about work and friends in general, and she somewhat shocked me when she told me that I have a friend that I needed to have space from...and she had no idea how I could do it. lol I totally could see it, and I, being the loner I am, know I need space, I just didn't see some of my other friends annoyed by them. oops. lol It was nice to sit and chat for a while and not have to bring up this or that, there is always something new to talk about with her, I love it. :) Ok, I have lots of friends like this too...but it was nice for TODAY. geeze.
I went home withthe intention of working on my book. Which I did...but I also pissed my time away playing on Twitter, and then assured myself I needed a quick 30 min nap...which turned into 40...then 60...then 90..then 100. lol I love me some nap. After that, it was harder then hell to get up and do anything, but I knew I needed to because I was supposed to be at a friend's house at 8 and she lives out of town. I opened up my notes to write...and saw someone had done a quiz on Facebook...I haven't done one in a while and I decided that I am not on Facebook enough, so I will grant everyone joy by doing it. lol It took FOREVER. So long in fact, that I was a little late leaving my house.
Went to watch KU play at her house. Good times...until KU lost. :( They played well though, and as all the other fans are saying (to cover up the pain) we didn't even expect them to get that far the way they started out the season. So good job guys.
Tomorrow is going to be a full day. No idea why I am not sleeping right now. Hoping the weather isn't too bad so my friends can still come hang out with me. ....drink with me. I have totally drank too much this year.
Caroline is thinking (and thus jinxing) that there won't be some big winter storm. Generally the more hype there is, the less the storm is in this town. If we all ignored it, we would definately have a few feet. Granted, its cold and windy and sorta rainy, but she really thinks that the "Lawrence weather bubble" will keep it all at bay...which sort of sucks. She was hoping for at least a bit of bad weather so work would be slow. lol

We run so fast for that which we think we want
Towards that which we think we need
We see those things and people that we feel will complete us
That will connect to us in ways others will not
Not ever thinking that that which we imagine to be so great
Is what we should have been running from the whole time
