Pre-exhaustion...

This happens to me all the time, where I think of all the stuff I have planned for the next few days and I'm pre-exhausted. I'm a busy busy girl (totally self-inflicted) who yearns to be a complete Couch Potato, spooning with the contents of my TiVo.

So let's see, what do I have going on this weekend... Saturday I have my all-day painting class. Yup, it's from 9am-3pm. Every. Saturday. (I've already ditched one class, of course.) I can't help it, I'm hooked on taking Art classes. I really appreciate the right-brain stimulation and surprisingly, I don't suck a$$ doing it. I'll have to tell you the motivation for even starting to take Art classes on another post. You'd probably think it's the most random reason....

OK, so Saturday... After class, Artsy Gal is having a housewarming party, where her and her Musician hubby will have all their artsy/musical/vegan/thrift-store-wearing/goth friends there. They like to stay up late, drink, and talk about artsy-musical-literary-philosophical stuff. It's always an interesting time with this group of people, since they're nothing like my normal circle of friends. I feel pretty out of place in conversations. Somehow, quirky sarcasm isn't their forte. I usually get a polite pre-laugh, which never matures to a full laugh, then I clear my throat in awkwardness and go back to listening mode. It doesn't keep me from trying though, because sometimes, just sometimes, I'll get a laugh out of them. Nothing more addictive than variable reinforcement, right? I'll get home from the party, in the AM, I'm sure.

Sunday, OCG and I have our bi-weekly Lunch/Mani-Pedi/Shopping/Coffee time, which is a week overdue because of the snowboarding trip. My nails will be so happy... That'll bring us into late Sunday afternoon. As if that's not enough, I'm suppose to have dinner with my Mom and Bro for belated Chinese New Years celebration. Oink Oink! Spending time with my mother is always draining, which I won't get into right now. I'm sure we'll be out until 9ish, at which time, I'll finally be free to come home, settle down, hit the hay, to be ready for good 'ol Monday.

I'm. Tired...

So tonight, I'm determined to have a TiVo date with myself. It's still quite constipated from my 5 days away. I'm sure OCG will call and want to go out tonight, but I'm too pre-exhausted to even think about it.

*Yawn* I need a nap...
