Senioritis, Made-up Words, Happy Stuff

Well apparently, our life is boring during the school year. I shouldn't be surprised.

For Labor Day, I updated the blog all day, and Brian spent all day doing school stuff. So we didn't get any time to do anything fun.

Brian's having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. Mostly because it's his last year and I think he's got Senioritis. It's also hard when all, and I mean ALL, his teachers tell him every day that there are NO JOBS out there. Very encouraging.

But he went to a lecture last night where the guy talked about how everyone tries to make you think you have to design "Star-chitecture" in order to be successful. But if you can design for average American people, you'll always have a job because that makes up 97% of the people out there. So now he feels better about finding a job when we're done.

In other new words, I realized that I sometimes do something called "catastrophication". (Parenthood, great show.) Anyway, it's taking a normal situation and totally blowing it out of proportion and imagining the worst possible thing happening. I do this a lot when I worry about Brian, or my family. I'm working on it.

I need to focus on the good things in life. Like:

My best friend Val, had her little baby girl, Nicole, on Monday. SO CUTE! We went to visit Tuesday and I just held her and stared for a good 1/2 hour. She has the cutest cheeks and little button nose. We're so happy for them!

I heard on the radio today that tomorrow marks 100 days until Christmas! How could you not be excited about that? It almost made me want to jump out of bed and start singing Christmas songs.

Almost.

But not quite.

And it's almost Fall! I know it's still way hot outside, but I can feel it coming. I love Fall!
