Life Updates of a Larger Magnitude

I usually journal/blog when I'm in rough emotional places.  It's a good way to let out the angst so that the happy can come back in.  When things are good, I rarely blog unless it's to show off an accomplishment (herb garden!)  This morning I'm making a point to just journal about where I'm at, and that's a content place. Things are good.  It's Spring-y outside (although I'm not convinced it's here to stay).  I've been working out for 8 whole days.  My family is healthy and we've been playing outside.  My business, while not turning a profit yet, has enough things in the works that April should be an awesome month.  Matt is having fun blowing up things in the lab with Ryan.

I think there are 2 types of adults that I know right now.  Those that are working until the second they fall asleep, and those that spend some time watching tv/movies or reading in the evening.  Tonight I decided to leave Category A and be part of Category B, because the former makes me wake up thinking about work, and I hate that.  But the move I chose to watch ended up sucking, and now I wish I had worked instead! :) Don't watch Drinking Buddies.
