perseids

for those of you who dont know, the perseid meteor shower is the best chance us washingtonians have for some really good shooting star action. it happens every summer and the peak of action this year will be sunday night early monday morning, with an average view of 60-80 stars an hour. but i thought since it is supposed to be cloudy sunday i would take kk out tonight and see if she saw any.
we drove around for a bit looking for jsut the right star-gazing area- it had to be dark and away from the glow of city lights, and have a view of a big chunk of northeastern sky. we didnt find one so instead we went out in the front yard which actually turned out to have a pretty good view of sky. we were going to lay on the trampoline but it was already dewy. so anyways kk didnt see any but i saw one big bright fast one, and she got to see a satellite which fascinated her... and of course me as well. we will try again tomorrow night- and you should too!
today at work wasnt awful- just awfully busy. i am having fun actually (ssshh dont tell anyone) sourcing and trying to find better pricing on some of our items. this week i think was the first time i really kind of felt like i belonged at work and that i did have a clue what i was doing- like my boss keeps trying to tell me. she always says i am doing so good and that everyone else had walked out by that point out of sheer frustration so good for me for not only still being there- but trying every day to learn more and do better. and for the first time- i felt like i was. dont think i am getting too comfortable tho- things are so fluid the only thing that stays the same is the chaos! but its fun chaos. i hate being bored at work so it is nice to NOT be.
i havent taken any pills for about a week. not like i have a problem with taking too many pills- it jsut seems like there is always something broken on me that needs medication :P just last week- every night i was in such excrutiating jaw pain that it was vicodin, percoset, tylenol, motrin all alternated jsut to be able to sleep thru the pain and function in the morning... and a weak muscle relaxer during the day to stop my back spasms- or at least to allow me to work thru them. did i tell you my jaw pain mysteriously disappeared? it is the weirdest thing. someone out there must have been praying hard!
i want to go to wild waves. i jsut dont want to pay that much money, wait in those lines, or deal with all the screaming bratty kids. i swear- other people are allowed to have kids just to remind me that my own kid is really not that bad! every time we watch supernanny or nanny911 kk and i talk about what brats those kids are and how mean the parents are (which jsut feeds off each other) and i tell her how glad i am she is not like those kids. maybe its not the most PC thing to do but i have never really cared about being PC.
ok that is enough for now- go catch a falling star!
