"Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans"

So I'm sitting here, realizing my attempt at giving up procrastination for Lent is quickly turning into a fleeting memory. Meh I'm not Catholic anyway... but still.

I was out with the guys until 3am Friday playing Beatles Rockband for Norman's last day before he flew back to Germany, then I went to Beto's with Alisha and we hung out until 5:30ish. When I got home and started getting ready for bed another sister called and asked if I would watch their little girl around 7 so they could go to the temple. I don't know who on earth thinks their texts will be answered at 5:30 in the morning, but since I was still awake I accepted. Typically Abbie sleeps until her parent's get back, but this particular morning she decided she wanted to be awake! We played and read books in the tent that was set up in the living room until the sleeping bag that was thrown inside conquered my sleepy head and Abbie and I cuddled in for a nap. She is so cute!!! I got home at about 10 in the morning and went straight to bed.

I set my alarm for noon thirtyish so I could get some homework done before I went out with my buddies for a concert... and woke up at 4 when a resident called me with a question. I got up and got ready for the day and started doing homework but got distracted with a talk/argument with the boy I currently like... rephrase. Liked. I get bored so easily waiting around and... just decided that it wasn't worth it waiting around for him to get a move on. Not that I won't go out with him if he ever asks, because he is a great guy, but I'm just not willing to wait around for the next 6 months until he asks me to do something. Silly boy! Then I kept falling asleep doing my reading and decided to be responsible and call my buddies and cancel plans for the night so I could get some work done. .... but then I called a different buddy and he and I went out for dinner to the Formosa where the guy sitting across from me looked so much like Tomas that I could not drag from my gaze from him. Poor Weston probably wondered what was wrong with me the whole time!

After dinner I came home and again started homework but then remembered I am out of food so I called Alisha and asked if she wanted to go shopping with me. Then somehow we decided to go to a midnight movie. So 45 minutes, a bag of froot loops, and enough sugar to kill a large rat later we were sitting in the theater watching "Valentines Day" which was surprisingly good!!!

The moral of the story? John Lennon was right: "life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" and it is becoming more and more evident as time goes on and I become more aware.

  1. Wow. What a lack of sleep! Urgh. I'm getting a stomachache thinking about it. And no, you should not have to wait. That's lame. :)
