Catching Up

So my hopes of bogging more than
once a week haven't come to fruition.
But I figure if I can make use of my
Saturday mornings ( which seem to be early and quiet-very quiet) by posting all at once.
Here goes.
Produced the 6 am this week b/c my producer was on vacation. I joked that
I'd get into the groove" of it by Thursday.
That joke turned out to be exactly what happened.

Tuesdays have become my least favorite day of the week. With Derby planning,
staff/ mgt meetings and my 3rd shift schedule-it works out I get about
4 hours of sleep between midnight Sunday and 3pm Tuesday.
This in a word: Sucks.
Had to have a strange conversation with the boy. Jeff started it with,
"Dude, we live in a boy house."
What followed was a discussion of how some behavior that's acceptable at our
house (dominated by males-because I'm the only female, and not super militant about it)
There had been an unfortunate incident at a friend's house with an insensitive
action I have no idea where he learned.
We had to talk about the difference between acting like a boy a "young gentleman."
It was strange.
I've never thought of myself as girlie but also hadn't realized that my gender status had taken 2nd fiddle in my home.
Don't know how I feel about this.

I can't get enough of the Steig Larsson books on tape. I've made it to "The Girl who Played with Fire."
It's riveting. I highly recommend it.

Books on tape (on MP3 on my phone) are quite possibly the greatest thing ever.
I can scratch my itch for books while on the road and pretty much doing whatever.
Love it.

My Saturday mornings have been getting earlier and earlier.
I've started a habit of heading to Starbucks.
The boy orders a hot chocolate as I walkout the door.
Not sure about this.

I've come to the conclusion having a Bengal Cat is not much different than having a toddler in the house.
He gets into everything and is immensely entertaining.
