Monday's

Some Mondays I hit the ground running. I have all this stuff I want to do and just dive in. Then there are others where I'm slow to get started and seem to have nothing to show for my day. Today was dreary and rainy. It's always hard to be motivated when you really just want to crawl back under the covers. On days like today I wish I were a cat. What a life. Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, play, annoy the humans, feign disinterest in humans activity, sleep, eat... Fool that I was, I went and ran errands in this drizzle. It motivated me to get them done quickly. I did manage to do some laundry and make some banana bread out of some overripe bananas. Devin and Steven always get excited when I do this. I get the feeling that they would like me to have a baked good around every day. I probably do need to bake more often. It's better for them to eat homemade cakes, cookies, and breads than the store bought with all the extra junk in it.

On another thought... Did you ever have a pen pal growing up. I remember that in 4th or 5th grade we wrote letters that our teacher mailed to a school in Indiana. I had mine for several months. As an adult I now have an email pal. It's fun to tell stories and ask questions and get to know someone this way. It's amazing all the commonalities we have.

Which leads me to...

Believe it or not I'm really a shy person. I've managed to overcome or rather push through some of my insecurities as an adult. I enjoy blogging because it is easier for me to write than to talk face to face. Sometimes I think that I appear to be snooty because I'm to shy to say hello when I see someone out and about. I also seem to always blank on names and where I've met someone. It never fails that I remember about 5 minutes after the opportunity has passed. Being shy makes me horrible at small talk. I seem to always say something dumb. Just consider me an introvert that would like to be an extrovert.
