The First Fun Monday of 2009

Summit Musings is hosting today - and inviting one and all to play the New Year Meme. I'm not ready for Fun Monday, and I'm not ready for the New Year. Neither should be here yet... and I should still be 34.

Oh.. heck, I'll play anyway.

So, using her suggestions, here's Whats On My Mind:
* * *


"What's on your mind as we close out 2008 and begin
2009?

I can’t believe the year. I mentioned to someone that back in the sixties, 2009 was eight years beyond a space odyssey. Really!

I’m glad I’m not a kid. I don’t know if I could navigate life in today’s environment. Is this the way that my mother felt when she was my age?


Large and small.

Where did I park the car? I set my glasses down here somewhere.


What are often your first thoughts the minute you wake up?

Coffee. That fat free half n half just isn’t cutting it.


When you're alone and unguarded?

Where have I been? Where am I going? It isn’t where I thought I would be.


Working?

I’ve spent a lot of years doing that. Do I know how to stay at home and be industrious?


Stuck in traffic?

I get anxiety in traffic. Thank goodness the only time we are exposed to it is when we travel. I can understand why people succumb to road rage. (Hold up that finger one more time buddy and I’m going to cut it off.)


Playing with the children?

The elixir of youth. Oh…the things they say in their innocence. Or, sometimes the things they say when they are learning to cut to the chase. I think I would like to work around kids so that I could siphon their energy.


Walking the dogs?

I miss my dog. Have I mentioned that before?


When you can't sleep?

The furnace is too loud and the walls are creaking.
If I bang two pans together will the neighbor’s dog quit barking?
I hope I didn’t forget my dentist appointment.
I should probably get out of bed and go blog.
