i think there is something wrong with me

this weekend was quite interesting.

i promised myself that i wouldn't work and would try to go and do fun "new" things in my city. this is the first weekend in months that I did not work. that is pretty interesting in and of itself.

this weekend was a special "holiday" in georgia. in celebration of back to school, the state waived sales tax on all clothing and shoes (and some other stuff i don't care about.) i was jazzed all week long to go buy new clothes and simply marinate in retail therapy. i woke up bright and early on saturday morning and prepared for my day. i went through old cd books and picked out a few cds that i havent listened to in years. i stopped and picked up some mcdonalds breakfast and drove over an hour north to visit the largest outlet mall in georgia.

i walked the entire outlet mall. i went in every store that i liked and some stores that i didn't really like. i wanted to purchase. and after walking miles in nearly 100 degree heat...i didn't purchase a thing. i really wanted a lemonade and i couldn't even find that!

another strange fact i discovered.....i think i am a closeted john mayer fan. WTF! i listened to john mayer throughout the day on saturday. does this happen when you move to georgia?? is it because he is a hometown boy? it really doesn't matter, it is just embarrassing.

sunday morning came early. nutmeg sat outside the door moaning and begging to come in. i really wanted to let her in, but her brother is a demon and if you let one in, you have to allow everyone in. "the boy" enjoys getting under the covers and claws my legs until i am forced out of bed. i haven't slept in for weeks.

i have a new habit of waking up early on weekends and i try to get out into the world. it feels good to be "out there" and part of the living. this morning i was in search of a whole foods for yams, limes and cream cheese (don't worry, i wasn't going to have them together.) i also drove out to kohls in another attempt at clothing or shoes. once again.....i didn't find a thing. not even a pair of flip flops!!

on the way home i stopped and did a little antiquing. i was tired and needed a nap after all of my errands. it would have been wonderful to get home, change into comfy clothes and take a nice nap. this was not in the cards. instead of taking a nap, i got lost. and when i say "lost" i mean that i didn't even know what direction i was travelling in. i NEVER get lost. EVER. but, today I am surprised i didn't end up in alabama. i think i was close! i am not exaggerating here.

later in the day i almost ate a hot dog.

to sum this all up.........i intentionally hung out in 100 degree weather, couldn't bring myself to purchase clothing or shoes, discovered a deep affection for john mayer, got lost and almost broke 11 years of vegetarianism.

and, i had a glass of sangria. i don't drink wine.......

there is something wrong with me.
