Early Bird Takes the Worm
June 12, 2008 5:00 amEarly bird takes the worm. Early bird catches the worm. Early bird EATS the worm? Early bird gets the worm? What on earth is it and where did this lovely expression come from? What does it mean? The first bird to get up in the morning has accessibility to all the worms? Yuck. So, I must have the accessibility to all the worms–but I don’t find that rewarding to myself. I don’t want a worm. I want more sleep.
I designated myself the “early bird” this week arriving to work at 6:45 am (yes, even with a shower and clean hair). It’s just two days, that’s not going to kill anybody (aka me). But seeing my wonderful husband still sleeping and not catching a glimpse or a peep from Tatum before walking out the door makes it no fun! But duty calls with big boss being in town for a meeting. Need to ensure all things are running smoothly before the meeting begins.
I’m in love with So You Think You Can Dance, thanks to Nicole. My heart beats fast during the performances and I even started clapping after one last night, not realizing that I literally was alone in the living room and not at the live performance.
An old friend is visiting Austin with her family this week and we get to meet up for dinner tonight! Kendra Johnson-now Kimball. I haven’t seen Kendra in YEARS! Kendra and I became friends when I started working at Casa View Assembly in Garland, TX during my college years. Kendra, to me, was cool! Had her own apartment (with a HUGE bed), own car, own REAL job with REAL money….and just an all around wonderful gal that I loved hanging out with. She is now married, two boys, and I believe training for a marathon!? What is with all my friends getting fit? :)

wow running a marathon … one of these days you can add my name to that list too …. baby steps (both of us)
You early…I don’t believe it. Will still never forget you helping me move….the first time. I had not ever seen you look that mad (or without make-up) and we won’t even get into the snippy-ness. “Why is she so mad at me?” I wondered.
But look at you, little miss early bird. Motherhood must have prepared you for everything =)
I admire people that can run marathons. Something I for sure would love to accomplish someday.
: )
I’ve always thought about running a marathon, but then Amanda scared me with her toenail-falling-off story. I think marathons and getting up early just aren’t in the cards for me.
Hey Summer, Dinner was awesome and we enjoyed meeting Chris and Tatum. Thank you so much for meeting us!! I can’t wait to see you again soon — hopefully much sooner rather than later. I never knew you thought I was so cool!
Thanks for making me smile! And, for the record, I was training for a half marathon (Eric is the marathoner in our family), but had to stop with Miles being so sick. I am hoping to pick it back up the training again soon though. Have an awesome week and don’t get up so early — that’s so not you!!!
Yay for Casa View! A flood of memories…
