What is today? Tuesday, Wednesday?

It’s been one of those mornings where focus is not happening. I was supposed to have a meeting but it was rescheduled and I didn’t update my calendar so I’m a little at a loss. I ate my yogurt too early in a rush for said meeting, downed my coffee and now …

I hope you had a good Labor Day weekend. Ours was pretty decent – a day of Disney, swimming at my in-laws’, shopping for new sandals for Henry. It was low key and easy, which is my favorite kind of weekend and left me refreshed for the coming week. It was brutally hot though – for a holiday that is something like the gateway to fall, holy goodness is it hot. I keep waiting for reprieve. Please, reprieve!

I signed up for Fantasy Football with my husband’s league. I’m not excited. I think I thought I would be when I signed up – the last time I played was 2008, and I remember enjoying it. I haven’t paid much attention to football the past couple years; my brain only holds one sport at a time, and baseball’s my game. I’m slightly offended that football starts while baseball is still going on, really. But I signed up, and I’m going to do it. I had lunch with a friend last week when I was having a no good, very bad day and she was EXCITED about the prospect of fantasy football, so she is now coming to the draft with me and we are co-managing the team. This makes me happy – I did zero research and she made a spreadsheet. I would feel guilty about the amount of work she put into this except that a) I’ve now offered co-management so it’s her team too and 2) it seemed to actually make her really happy. Anything I can do for a friend, right?


I’ve been listening to audio books lately; it started that I was taking some long drives, but then I needed to continue them so I was listening pretty much always. It’s hard to take 12 hours to listen to a book! I have one more downloaded but I don’t know if I’m going to get to it – I don’t have any more long drives and I just don’t know if I’ll enjoy it listening at 20 minute intervals on my drive to and from work. Do you listen to audio books?

I LOVE audio books. Love them. But I almost never finish them because of the time it takes. WAIT! I can listen to them at home now since the kids are gone!

Thanks, April!

I've only listened to 2 audiobooks in my life. My commute is short - like yours - and I think it took me over a month to finish one of the audiobooks. (The other I started on a long road trip.) It just takes me too long now! And I've become an insatiable podcast listener so I choose that over listening to books now.
