How did a post about life end up with a quote about a burger?

I could compose an entire post about how much I hate Ants...but I won't.
Instead I'll talk about my latest ponderings on life....my life.

Less than two weeks ago I was splashing about in the Caribbean surf and spending long uninterrupted days with my lovely husband and our offspring and today I'm feeling tired, annoyed and will be eating dinner without my husband again...how can one experience such lovely spoilage and then be expected to just give it up all of a sudden?!?!?
Life is so unfair....I know, what a brat ;)

This week I feel as though I have the personality of a piece of driftwood, sorry to judge you driftwood, you seem nice enough...just a little boring, and I am feeling the same way.... not particularly motivated or excited about anything, I'm feeling kinda lame really. Doesn't that sound fun kids? I'm trying really hard to remind myself that this too shall pass...and that it's probably hormonal. I tend to think everything is hormonal....it makes me feel better about my bad moods, like their 'feminine' or something.

Michael and I have been staying up WAY past our bedtime to watch figure skating this week and I think that may also be contributing to my feeling tired and my less than stellar attitude at the moment as well...but in defense of figure skating....it's so much fun! And it gives me something to look forward to!
Actually my latest thought is, in fact, that the key to life is having something to look forward to...which is kinda sad I guess because it sort of steals the thunder away from that whole 'Living in the moment' thing.

Sometimes living in the moment is boring though, many of my moments on a daily basis are a wee bit mundane and if I can be focusing on something coming up that's more fun and/or exciting why shouldn't I? Then again if you're constantly living in the future you totally miss out on the now...see people this right here is the whole mind-fuck that is life...is it any wonder that there are people who spend their entire lives just trying to puzzle out what the point or meaning of it all is...like Oprah!
She's always preaching about living your best life!

My question to those that claim living in the 'Now' is the key to living a happy and fulfilled life is: What if my best life is something more fun and/or exciting in the future? What if the dishes I'm currently unloading from my dishwasher and the ants I'm currently battling ARE as mundane and lame as I think they are....is there anything wrong with kinda blanking on them and focusing on things that might put a pep in the step of my future self?

I think NOT! For If I were Wimpy and my life were a burger I'd say: "I'll gladly think about next Tuesday if it will get me through today!"

Peace,
