4th of July 2011

"Yankee Doodle Dandy" starring the greatness of James Cagney, was watched by me for about the gazillionth time tonight. There is just something about those black and white movies. I believe the acting is more crisp, no CGI, and the story is more 'there'. I liked it--again.

Today was a good day. I didn't do anything like I did back in the day--like parties, dancing and just enjoying the 4th of July night--like back in the year I graduated from high school. That was also the year the Bicentennial was celebrated. I gotta smile. Just good times.

The majority of my day was spent throwing out stuff. I went thru an purse with a busted strap. I found 5 bucks and a pair of reading glasses I'd completely forgotten. Kept the 5 bucks and the glasses Realized I didn't like the purse so much tho.

It was good to be home. I mean, just home. Realize how much time I have not given myself due to work and school and not much else. I do need to work on more "ME" time tho. I'm also off tomorrow, which is more of back to reality day. Yep. Back to a school project, oil change on the car, and more throwing out stuff. If I haven't seen or used it in a year--it's gone.

Yea, nice to be home.
No place I'd rather be on this 4th of July, 2011.

Tick Tock Time

Tonight I met up with a chum for coffee and girl gab at Starbucks. The cool thing was, her daughter is manager of this said Starbucks so we got free stuff. Free is good.

Had one of my "Want to write a book in a night" itching. Even tho, I know I have to do alot in my new class, it doesn't seem as crammed as the last couple. So I'm going all back to time management, so I can do a "write some of a book in an hour."

On the whole time management thing, I remember when I recuperated from my little adventure of open heart surgery--I had to regain more strength than I realized. So I had my schedule of I'd get up, try to put on some clothes, then take a 10 minute walk which could have been more like 10 hours. I'd have to stop-and wondered if I'd ever be able to talk farther (well I did). I'd go back to my apartment and do what I could, then after I watched my shows, eat and such, I laid down from 2-3:30. Then eventually I gained enough strength to READ. So I'd read a book for an hour.

What I'm getting at: everything had its own time to shine. It worked for me. And I"m trying to get back to this. I can't add time to the clock, yet I can use the time I have.

Like my chum and I talked about business ideas and she said she 'just didn't have the time." I told her we sat in Starbucks for TWO hours! We both laughed.

Yet, two hours do the best with.

Make the most with it, because ya ain't gonna get it back...time.
