I did it! Recorded another Me Today! Made myself do a one time run through - NO EDITS! Also used my DV cam instead of the MacBook. Sound is so much better. If you notice, I’m not looking into the lens, but the view screen. Urgh! I’ll get the hang of it eventually.

Tired.
Had a long day today. Had to be at work at 7am. So I left super early (5:45am), just to make sure to beat the crappy 101 traffic. I finally got home around 7pm. I’m glad its FRIDAY!
I was going to do more blogging/vlogging tonight, but I’m exhausted. Today I even put together some notes. I’ll do a video tomorrow and I’ll spend my time relaxing with my Mac.
Hear that? Its my pillow. Its calling my name. More tomorrow!

Uneventful
Another uneventful day. Sometimes I feel blessed on days like these when I am able to just coast by. But then sometimes I feel frustrated because coasting is not exactly what I want to do. I want each day to be spent doing something that I love, something creative, something that speaks to my soul. These are days that I feel a bit disconnected to myself. Like I’m not on the path that I need to be on. Blah. I’m tired too. Long uneventful days will do that too. (Sigh) I’ll get some sleep. Sleep is always good. And start tomorrow, a new day.

Mii got a Wii
This will be a quick entry. Had a long day at work and a long commute time. When I got home, I did not have much energy. However, I did save some to hook up and play with my new purchase…..a Wii. I only have the Wii Sports that comes with the system, but even that is entertaining enough for knocking off the newness. I bought it with some of my Birthday money. Geeze, that last sentence made me sound like a 12 year old. Oh well. It may be a bit juvenile for a mid-30s lady, but I don’t care. Fun has no age limit. I’m pretty tuckered out now and will blog more tomorrow.
*Here’s to my new Wii, named NATii*

Tuesday was Monday
I know it was really Tuesday, but when I have a Monday off from work, Tuesday always feels like a Monday. Today even was busy like a Monday. The afternoon was broken up with a team meeting. Myself and two other team mates had to give a financial planning presentation. It was our first presentation since moving into a new department/team. It went well and our recommendations were not terribly scrutinized. The first part of December we’ve been given another “project”. Yippie.
There were 5 accidents on the 101 loop and I finally got home a little after 7pm. And that was just on the southbound lanes - the way I travel to get home. Four of those five accidents were completely off the road and at least a lane’s width from cars passing. But still people had to slow down to an almost complete stop to see what was going on. The last one had the cops blocking traffic to only one lane. I hate rubbernecks and they are SO bad here in the Phoenix area.
Now I’m winding down with an interesting film on Sundance Channel called Radiant City . Its about a North American family living in a newly developed suburb community (something that we Valley residents know all so well). The main point of the film is how modern suburban communities are damaging to society by promoting isolation. Examples: we get in a car, back out of garages, drive on the freeway for an hour, park in a parking garage at work, take an elevator to our office building and work in a cubical, to then leave work, drive another hour home, pull into our garages and enter our homes with little, if any interaction with the community we live in. I tend to agree with the perspective of this film. Its sad. To me, it seems like people just want to be left alone in their carbon copy boxes. It may not be that same in all areas, but I believe it is in several. Anyway, check it out on Sundance or you can Netflix it.
After the clothes are done in the dryer, then I’ll finally get some sleep. I live such an exciting life! 
Take care and talk to you tomorrow!

First MeToday & 34th Birthday!
Thought I would start off my new WordPress blog with my first MeToday. I have a lot of tweaking to do around my new blog. Especially with the design. Its looking very sad right now. But I’ll get it looking a bit more lively in good time. I’m still using tumblr for my snippets, but here will be more in depth content (obviously).
The rest of my day….it was great. I took the day off, mailed a “care package” to my oldest stepson, fiddled around on the computer, and really did not do much more. Puurrrrfect! Since yesterday we celebrated my birthday in Chandler, tonight its carryout pizza. Yes! Before bed, I’ll go for a jog with the rotties. Then I shall retire for the evening with a good film or documentary. Ahh…what a perfect day.
