My 5 hours of sleep last night were not really sufficient. Actually it's even less than that because it took me a long time to actually fall asleep. I had wanted to nap on the train, but my neck was killing me in those seats. Then I wanted to nap at my parents' house but my mother wanted me to go to the farmer's market with her. Then I just sat around most of the afternoon. Then we had to go out to dinner for my mother's birthday, we came home we did cake and presents, and then I met my high school friend, LM, for a drink. So now it's almost midnight and I'm finally getting to go to sleep. And I can't even sleep late because I have this thing to go to, but more on that tomorrow.
Last summer I spent a lot of time out at my parents' house, last summer was hard though. The whole summer I was just really depressed and confused, it was strange and not very like me. I think I came out here to escape my life in the city. But now I have almost no desire to come out here, it's a total interruption to my life in the city. And that's a good feeling to have.

I've Been Bad
I know, I know, I haven't been updating as much as I should. I've been bad. Here's a recap of what's been happening...
- Sales conference at work on Friday went well, this week should be one hell of a stressful week, not excited about it.
- When I went to work out on Friday morning I couldn't find my iPod shuffle. Now I love my Shuffle, it's little, it's functional, it clips on, I can use it while I work out, I can use it walking around in the summer when I don't have a coat pocket for my big one, and I don't need to use my headphone attachment with it. So when I couldn't find it I was devastated. But I came home tonight, continued the search and finally found it in the bin where I keep my magazines.
- For the sneakers my parents bought me for my birthday the company sent the wrong size. They sent a men's 9 rather than a women's 9. So I reordered. Hopefully they'll get it right this time. Pictures tk.
- I just finished reading American Wife, I had had it for a while and never got around to reading it. I started it on the plane to Phoenix and I really enjoyed it. The end was a little tedious and self-righteous, but overall I really enjoyed it.
Isn't it weird how the HC and PB versions of the cover are just slightly different?
Hardcover
Paperback
It's the same picture, but the PB one is so much brighter--her dress is whiter, her arm is whiter, it's odd. I get why they changed the color of the title and other text, but the lightening is odd.
- Oh and I think I might have pink eye. My eye lid and right under my eye have very dry skin and just tonight my eyeballs started bothering me. I really hope it's nothing, I don't want to go through something else with my eyes.

Easter
Holidays in my family are interesting and completely boring. From the outside it probably appears that I have a relatively normal, boring family, but really everyone is completely nuts. Literally. Most of them are on meds. But they're family, so they're important. However I always find being around them both disturbing and depressing. I just feel so different from them, which isn't bad, people need to grow, but I guess I've always wanted one of those really close families with cousins and aunts and uncles all hanging out and watching sports or barbecuing or something. Which goes back to my issues with my immediate family.
Ok, a little too deep.
My aunt saw Sean Penn, he was filming in the county office building where she works. She said he was short and very thin. My fantasy was destroyed. At least I can still think of his eyes.
Work tomorrow. I wish I could work a two and a half day work week every week minus the being sick part.

Another list
I'm too tired and I lack enough to say to write in paragraphs...
- Went to Target today, Target is like my Mecca. Not the Target in Brooklyn, but the ones in the suburbs. Heavenly. Bought candy, sunscreen, a magazine, and I picked up the pictures I ordered.
- Why does no one in the suburbs feel they need an umbrella? At Target NO ONE (not exaggerating, literally NO ONE) had an umbrella. It was raining all day, I went at 1pm, it had been raining since at least 10am. Everyone just ran across the parking lot, got dropped off and picked up from the door, or held something else over their head. Why did no one have an umbrella??
- I watched a preview for the Real Housewives of NJ. O.M.G. What a shitshow that looks like! And I was mortified to find that I recognized one of the women from an episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding or whatever that show was called that was on VH1 years ago.
- I also watched that new show Cupid, I don't know, I kind of liked it. And the lead guy? Hot.
Ok, this was a really shallow post. I apologize.

Home
After a mind-numbingly dull day at work (absolutely no one was there) I made it to my parents' house for Easter weekend. Being at my parents' house is always odd. I've always gotten along with them fine, but we're fundamentally different people (that will be for another post) and we'll never be the parents and kids who are friends or ones that can really hang out together, drink, and discuss our lives. But it's nice to come visit.
It's so odd visiting now and comparing it to when I lived here. When I was in high school and even in college during the summer or during school vacations every minute had to be filled with something, every night needed to be spent out of the house or I viewed myself as a huge loser. But now I come out here and I almost never go out at night and I pretty much just veg out. I can't decide if I was insecure back when I was in high school and college or if I've become too much of a hermit now. It's probably a mixture of both.
And on that cheery note I'm off to bed. I'm feeling much better, btw, although carrying my bag around the city and then working (even though it wasn't exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination) really tired me out.
