Boredom

Oh boy….

<>The thing is…I like to work. I do. I LOVE being busy and getting projects and the sense of accomplishment when they are finished. In my “real” life I am never bored. There is always something to do – reading, taking a hike, working on the film, gardening, washing dishes (there are always dishes), working on a various house project or craft project or whatever….but here? Here I am deadly bored. I loathe being bored. My brain is going a million miles a minute and then just crashes and I fight yawns and heavy eyelids and I watch the minutes tick by on my monitor. It really really sucks. I’ve read all the ‘blogs that I read (which haven’t yet been blocked by my IT department), I’ve scoped out real estate in various cities throughout the US, I’ve figured out my financial situation through December (and MAN am I hoping it changes), I’ve read my usual comics & Dear Abby, I’m out of ideas!<>Boredom leads to me feeling sorry for myself which leads to posts like the one from the other day. Ugh.

<>Any boredom-at-work suggestions?

Oh and I am coloring in envelopes – that’s how bad it is……………………………..

Do you read Dear Prudence on MSN's Slate Magazine? That's always a good time-killer....

I'll have to check that out. I'm pissed though because all the pictures on MSNBC are x'd out. Man, I hate IT sometimes!

My work project today is to figure out how much more Aetna can screw up our insurance claims and as a result the Flex Spending Account. Wanna join in? I love it when they process claims incorrectly and I have to be the one to point it out.

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
