I got off at 3am but sat around visiting with my replacement until 4am. Came home and walked the dogs – wrote a post and just glanced at the clock at it is already 5:30 am…where did the time go? I just don’t know. I should be asleep but here I am wide awake. I have hiccups – why, I don’t know.
I do plan on going to bed here pretty quickly because my eyes are starting to burn from being tired. The movie I want to see is shortly after 4pm so will consider doing that. My son is off tomorrow but I expect he will want to spend time with his new girl, Beth. She isn’t officially his girlfriend yet but I’m sure that is how it will go – in fact, I have a very good feeling about this one…I think she might be “the one” – they have known each other most of their lives so that is a big plus. Of course I’m way jumping the gun because they just barely started seeing if they were compatible enough to date but I can’t help it. They are the same age and both are at a place in their lives where they are thinking about family and children so who knows?
There seems to be a lot on my mind this morning. I spent quite a lot of time earlier looking for a hotel around the Omaha zoo. I was thinking I might go over there and spend the night one night – I would like to see the zoo. I would like to go to the Minneapolis one again too but doubt I’ll get up there anytime soon. Not sure about hotels, there seem to be a lot around the zoo area but most have low recommendations from others who have stayed there which makes me hesitant to consider it. It also seems like a long way to drive to see a zoo…I wish we had a big one close by. But if I made it an overnight thing than it would be a mini-vacation which would be nice. I was looking for one that allowed dogs too though I don’t know what they would be like if they were stuck in the hotel room all day. I know they can’t go to the zoo.
I thought about going elsewhere – I would like to do the Wisconsin/Michigan loop but it would take at least two nights to do it and cost a lot more money. I have wanted to do that all year – every since one of my coworker’s told me about it this past winter. The fall would be a great time to go because the trees would be pretty awesome but I don’t know if I will get to do it this year. I have a week long class next month and a one day class in November to go to…would have to schedule stuff around those. I wouldn’t go past the middle of October though – wouldn’t want to risk bad weather plus the leaves would probably all be on the ground by then.
Usually it is getting light around this time…when do we turn clocks back again? Oh…we did that already didn’t we? Can never keep it in my brain – it is a good thing my sister reminds me each time or I’d totally blow it off. Oh, I had soup at Panera earlier – it was quite good. I wonder what soup the one in the mall will have tomorrow…or if they even serve soup there.
I will be going to the mall to go to a movie if I go – the movie is only at that theater. The movie was number 3 at the box office this week – I’m not sure if that is good or not but I think it looks cute – I like Sandra Bullock.
Larry King Live had the interview with Denise’s husband on tonight. It made me cry. I was very grateful that he mentioned in there that he knew we did all we could do at the SSO. I was afraid he blamed us for not being able to save his wife but he didn’t. Seeing pictures of her with her children – it was so sad. He said they are assuming that he picked her out while she was out on the back porch trimming the children’s hair – but of course they will never know for sure unless Michael King explains his actions which doesn’t seem likely. Maybe on his deathbed but I doubt it.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
