{sigh} Someday soon, I will make this diary beautiful, and it will have some extraordinary layout instead of this boring “standard Diaryland template” blue. So I think I’ve decided to use this service for a while. Though my preference would be to host my diary on my own webpage (hmm…there may actually be a way to do that…I’ll get back to you), I must admit that updating via the web is much easier than creating a new file each day like I was doing for my “Countdown: 100 Days” page. We’ll see.
Maybe I’ll work on it tonight. I have to stop being such a lazy bum. Every day I come home from work, fix some dinner, and then basically spend the rest of the evening on the couch watching TV, reading a magazine, or learning a new guitar chord. My biggest concern is that I’m tired all the time, even though I’m getting 7+ hours of sleep each night and haven’t been doing anything strenuous. I don’t know why I’m so tired. This has been kind of a boring summer, yet I can’t really complain because I know it’s been good for me. Not always having something to do, somewhere to go…it’s nice. But I feel lazy. I need to get some exercise, and get some energy so that I’m not so sleepy. I have a whole list of things I want to do, and I just need to get motivated to do them. Ron said I wasn’t like this last summer. I don’t want to turn into a sloth.
In the meantime. So I really like reading Becca’s diary. One, it’s fun to hear what she’s up to in Switzerland (I keep picturing her in Montreaux, which is the only part of Switzerland I’ve visited, even though she’s in Baden), and two, it’s nice to read an online diary about someone’s life other than my own.
Last Friday when we all left work, JSC was at Hurricane Preparedness Level 4. Apparently this means we have to put our computers in plastic bags in case the hurricane comes our way. Nevermind the fact that we’re on the third floor of the building. As my officemate, Doug, said: “If it floods up here, forget about us — there are going to be people in Oklahoma with problems.” Hee hee. I had forgotten about that funny story until I told it to Kent yesterday during the 15 minutes I saw him at Denny’s. That silly boy, he is working so much, and so late. Hopefully I will get to see him tonight, since tomorrow he goes back to Atlanta for good. It has been nice just knowing he’s here.
Last night Courtney, Alisa, and Daniel arrived in town. Excitement!
