Scattered Sesame Street

Last weekend I was driving home from visiting my mom when I saw an Ernie (from Sesame Street) stuffed animal on the highway.  I thought that was random, but no more random than the shoes or gloves you ocas see lying on the road--do you ever wonder if someone is walking around with just one shoe on after you see a shoe on the highway? hee hee.  Of course if Ernie was on the highway, now Bert would be lonely, but wait, a few yards down the highway, I saw Bert.  I drove a few more seconds and I kid you not, there was Elmo.  Now either someone is fed up with Sesame Street or some poor child is going to get home and realize all his/her stuff animals have disappeared.  My exit came up shortly after Elmo so I never did get to find out if Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch were hanging out on the highway too.  I'm curious as to whether some child just started throwing these things out the window or if they fell off a truck or something.  So random.   

It's The Little Things That Make A Vacation Nice

Okay, I promised good things in my last blog so I shall deliver.  Recently, I had a week off from work.  I didn't go anywhere, but I enjoyed my time off.  So obviously, not having to work is nice, but here are few other random things I enjoyed:
-Sleeping late; sleeping 'til 9am was SO NICE
-Going to the gym during non-peek hours (fewer people, lots of empty machines, lots of parking etc)
-Going to the grocery store when it wasn't busy (I usually go after work or on the weekends)
-Getting to see friends that I don't often get to see
-Having plenty of time to cook a nice meal
-Seeing my work friends outside of work (what a concept!)
-Having time to read, watch tv/movies
-Catching up on blogs

Random Annoyances

If you were sick would you go to the gym?  I've gone when I have allergies, but I try not to go when I'm coughin up a storm, though there are times I've probably gone when I shouldn't have.  Earlier in the week the guy next to me at the gym was coughing and coughing and coughing.  I wanted to tell him to go home, have a cough drop, drink some water and go to bed.  I get coughed on enough at work, I don't need it at the gym too.  I guess he wants to get really fit (except that he kept stopping on the machine so I'm not sure how much of a workout he was getting).

Um, did the price of stamps go up again?  I haven't bought them for a couple of months because last time I bought them I  bought a lot, but I swear I paid more than usual, but maybe I'm just imagining it. 

I know we need the rain and all, but bring back the sun.  Instead of April showers and May flowers, it's looking more like May showers (and cold) and here's hoping for some June flowers. 

Did you ever have a night when you were really tired, but could not fall asleep and when you did fall asleep you couldn't stay asleep?  Sadly, that's happened quite a bit this week. I hardly ever take naps, but I had to take one today.  I just couldn't keep my eyes open--yet earlier in the day when I tried to fall back to sleep, NO luck.  I hope I can sleep through the whole night tonight and in this coming week or it's going to be a rough week at work.

Okay, to balance out this blog, I'll have to do random good things tomorrow.  :)
