I blinked...I must have.
It's sort of an odd thing I'm finding that even my younger friends (and Brian) are noticing the fast(er) passage of time. I've always thought that with nothing (like a job) to do to keep busy, time seems to just d-r-a-g. But look! Here we are in September already with nothing but a large handful of holidays between us and the end of 2011! Remarkable.
We are at the point in the year where I see it as nothing but a fast tally of celebratory markers. The "fast four months" I call it.
Labor day (long weekend of beer, boats and food - oh, and the dizzying start of a new school year - whoosh!); Columbus Day and Halloween (basically a party month and yard cleanup time); Thanksgiving (another long food weekend); Christmas (let's face it, food debauchery wrapped in the guises of goodness), then; the NEW YEAR (let's not forget the food, wine and hangovers)!
I simply think some of this could have been planned out a little better by the founding fathers and card companies, and perhaps spread out over a greater period of time, that's all. But, it is what it is, and has been ever thus for.....well, let's just say we're all fairly well entrenched in it by now, aren't we?
But I digress (I know, I know - nothing new).
I woke up this morning having to check if whether or not it was really Friday. Which is odd, since I also did the very same thing yesterday when I had to put out the garbage for pick-up.
Yup, it is Friday, and in my head, Friday music began playing.
"What does she mean 'Friday music?' "
Well, I'll tell you.
