Randomness

This blog post shall be one of those random posts. You know, where I have stuff to say, but not really enough to compose an entire story, with a beginning, middle, and end, some crisis or celebration or even silliness. And since I'm on a plane right now teetering between excitement and the internal debate of whether to wake the guy next to me so I can go pee, I don't think I could concentrate on a full blown post anyway.

1. Yes, I am on a PLANE! It has been MONTHS since I have been on a plane! Seriously. August 28th. That almost TWO FULL MONTHS not on a plane. I was having palpitations. I know I am one of the very, very few people who like planes. But it's not the planes per say that I like. It's that they take you somewhere. It doesn't have to be somewhere you expect to be awesome, like a vacation destination. Even if it's some tiny town USA, it's different, it's unique, it's full of possibilities and fun and new experiences, and I just love it.

2. Goldie is showing no signs of being affected by Tuesday night's attack, yet I do. I admit, I'm freaked. Still. Let's not ever have that happen again, ok?

3. On said plane, with Wifi (see!! planes are awesome!!), I am catching up on the 800 stories accumulated in my Google Reader. I am supposed to be working for myself now, setting my own rules and my own hours. So why does it feel like I don't have any time to myself?

4. It has been a really stressful week at the client site and on the project I'm working on. Nothing terrible, just lots of close-to-election-day stress that's permeating. And, I admit, while I'm there, clocking hours, I don't exactly feel good about browsing through Facebook and Twitter to stay connected.

5. On that whole self-employed thing, more big "business" milestones, like opening up a business bank account, getting checks with the business name, and submitting more invoices. So, why haven't I actually deposited anything into said business bank account yet?

6. Halloween. Are you dressing up?

7. I think the two men in the seats in front of me are falling in love with each other. Seriously, I don't think they knew each other before the plane and they have been talking nonstop.

And with that exciting post, the 30 minute warning! Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!
