Saturday Blahs...
This kind of sums up how I am feeling right now. If I were to think about it, I probably would say it is the case much of the time. So I am taking a poll. How many people talk to themselves? And how does that train of thought go? Not meant to sound like complaining; it's just that occasionally my positive nature tends to crash on weekends. And I get more introspective. Oh well, life goes on. And that's a good thing. So...what's happening???Score!!! And the've tied the game. I've got my headphones on...I'm listening to my son broadcast a play-by-play hockey game 
streaming online [on my computer]from Alabama, and it is a high scoring game with the 3rd quarter being quite the roller coaster of lead changes! It is 5-5 with one minute left! And, yes...we are going into overtime! You can hear the enthusiasm in Jer's voice. He absolutely loves what he is doing!! It is fun to hear him start to talk faster and faster as the action starts to get in front of the net. And when someone takes a shot...oh my God!!! Well, it is going to end in a tie. Better than a loss.
Flo is watching Funniest Home Videos, and now I am going to prepare some supper! TTFN
So, do you talk to yourself?

Well, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one! I'm getting to where I almost hate to see the weekends come and in my earlier years I couldn't wait for them to arrive so I could take a deep breath, do something fun -- there was a time when that meant dancing the tango, but even when I wasn't doing that, there always seemed something fun to do, to be involved in. Blah, blah, blah Saturday!!

;-) we are such kindred spirits. I get so crazy busy during the week that I often crash on weekends. I find myself sitting on the couch for hours just catching up on TiVo shows because I can't bear to get dressed and get moving.. too exhausted after such a crazy week! Sounds like Jer's game was fun. Love you much, Kate

well, my saturday was too busy but did find time for a needed nap and am just finishing up the laundry at 9 pm...think i need to do that earlier in the week. went to the temple today which is always peaceful, then for a lovely walk in the sunshine and 54 degrees, three meals with my retired hubby at home-he does the dishes and a little computer time to answer emails but not much. If I had more energy there are concerts to go to but we watched a video tonight at home on Lincoln, a documentary and I slept through most of it. Now we'll see if I sleep tonight. I think weather makes a difference in your mood.

I confess!!!!!!!! I talk to myself, too!!!! I've learned to entertain myself rather well since I became single ten years ago. Today I took a day for me and organized my own film festival. I'll be writing about it on my blog so stop by for the reviews.
As to the folks who think I need to wed again, I ask, "Why?"
I've learned that I'm the girl everybody loves and no one falls in love with. I quit.
P.S. I love hockey. My fav NHL team is the Detroit Redwing!!!

The weather makes it such a challenge to get anyway. Just the thought of all the snow gear and I canceled my plans...I feel it too..

Yes, I talk to myself all of the time. I analyze my mood and decide if I need to do something to fix it. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.
Weekends are pretty much like any other day around here. Today we were very busy. We went to a big antique show, then went shopping for a bridal shower gift. When I got home I did the accounting and paid the bills. this evening we watched an On Demand movie. Now I should be in bed, but I'm still catching up with blogs.
When we don't have an activity planned, I always plan what tasks I will take on each day. I never go into a day empty - that is, with nothing planned. I even plan when I will take a walk. That really helps me fight the blahs.

Yup! I talk to myself all of the time. And I laugh by myself... and I can get a few sobs going talking over sad times on occasion. I've been able to settle some rather spirited arguements I've had with myself. I may have dictated a novel or two in my life time... if only I hadn't been the only one listening....
I can't tell Saturday from any other day of the week. We have a clock that my son gave me a couple of Christmas's ago. It says, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...etc. It's amazing how often we have to look at it to make sure what day it is. I used to think Tuesday was the most boring day of the week. I have no idea why. I was actually born on a Tuesday.

So, I don't...sorry...out loud anyway. BUT my husband does and I am always (since we are both retired and home together much of the time) saying, "What did you say?" and get the answer, "Just talking to myself." I am always thankful, though, when he has said, "You dumbass!"

Sundays have been a rather "down" day for me my entire life. I don't know why. It's a lonely day, for some reason. But if I get outside awhile for a walk, my mood perks up. Works every time. When I was teaching, I was always depressed by the amount of school work I had to do on Sundays.

You know... now that I'm retired, the weekends are like my weekdays. Sad but true.
