The funny thing about blogs

is that you first feel like you want everyone to read it, and then you realize, 'oh crap, what if people are reading it!?!?!?' when you want to write about innermost secrets of your heart. What is it--a diary or a newsflash for everyone?

I'm 'working' from home today, but truth be told, I have been SUPER unproductive. Besides checking my email, looking a little bit into flights, and downloading one document, I haven't done anything in the last three hours but surf the internet. Not a great use of my time---only complicated by the fact that I am justifying my lack of productivity by the fact that I worked most of this past weekend and will be working (well, traveling) again this weekend. I don't get paid enough to work 12 hour days. So, let's hope this blog is more like a diary--else my boss will find out I'm a slacker.

Why am I so unmotivated? Well, I think it has to do with three things:
1. I am not excited about what I am doing right now;
2. I haven't gotten more than 6 hours of sleep a night for at least two weeks; and
3. (Most important) I am waiting for the arrival of my new boots.

Yes, sadly reason #3 is the most influential of my current state today. I have searched for many years for the perfect pair of black knee boots that fit the following criteria:
  • flat (or kitten heel), since the bone spur in my big toe makes it hard to wear heels.
  • not too vampy, since it doesn't fit my personality
  • black
  • leather, not pleather
  • versatile from work to going out
  • comfy (but, really is this even possible with cute shoes?!?!)
  • not too expensive
  • oh, and they have to fit my big athletic calves.

I never thought I was asking too much!! And, after a few years and several orders, with subsequent returns, I *think* I just may have found them.
They are slated to arrive today and I feel like I am stalking the front door. UPS truck, where are you?!?!?!?! If you would come, I could actually get my work done (of course, after I paraded around the house for awhile to truly determine if my long search is over!)
