Had the delivery driver for one of our growers, upon seeing me for the first time since last summer say, “Hi smiley!” Ouch.

I’m still working on not having my “serious face” on so much at work, but a lifetime of serious is hard to overcome. I’m definitely a work-is-work/fun-is-fun kind of girl. And I have been reminded more than a few times lately that I can be a little fierce when it comes to trying to get things to run “right.” That being said, the driver totally gets wiseass points from me for calling me on it.

But, it’s my weekend now, and that calls for fun! Of course, some of my ideas of fun might be a little, um, atypical, and tame, but they work for me, and go a long way in keeping me from missing my friends: planting tulips, building a new veggie garden, fixing an old veggie garden, 3 hours designated for short-story editing, organizing the photos on my laptop, playtime with the pups, driving the Mini with the sunroof open to Harbor Freight to shop for tools, being outdoors as much as possible (I am right now as I write this! Woo wireless!), the best-ever chicken cutlet sandwiches for dinner, movie night, and some Woodchuck Pear Cider in the fridge with my name on it.

I will try not to be so fierce on Sunday that I am working and not going to the Bidwell for wings with my friends.
