Sparks

Have you ever heard Coldplay's "Sparks," off of their album "Parachutes?" It is a sweet little waltzy song, and it has been stuck in my head, slowly driving me more and more insane, for the past two days.
This past week has been overwhelmingly busy, thus the lack of entries in my blog. Both of my bosses are away, and my friend whom I clean with is also gone. I have been cleaning a restaurant by myself and putting in more hours at the coffee shop than ever. The way things are now, I put as many if not more hours in two weeks than I used to in a whole month. I've been destroying my body by getting up at 5:30am and going to be around 1:00am for the past four days. I have learned the sleep deprevation is almost as much fun as being too intoxicated; the two are similar for me, or mostly anyway.
On top of that, I have spent at least 10 hours a day working one place or another. Og the joys. I don't know how so many people can live on no sleep and simply "adjust." I have been nursing my OJ and caffine just to function somewhat normally.
But either way, that is all done for a couple days now and I can take a wee bit of a breather. Today, three friends and I are hopping n Curty's car and taking off to Kamloops for the night. Yeah, a 9 hour drive for a single night. It will be an unbelievably fun venture though. We're not taking a map. I don't think. And Curt is going to encounter some interesting times, methinks. He is going with three girls anyway.
Last night was so much fun. We had our first "dinner party" if you will, in our house. Wehosted a couple I love very much, and my older brother. It was a blast. There was so much laughing, and great conversation. Julie brought a bottle of this great citrus wine that she made. Yummy. Our house really felt like a home to me. I kind of like that thought.
Anyway, I should get going. I have three hours of work left until our next, and likely greatest to date, road trip begins, and by writing this I have been putting off the buttload of work I should be doing. Here's hoping that Curt's wee car will make it up the mountains with four people in it!

You're better than growing up to be a workaholic! Bigger, better and brighter things are in your future, DO NOT get comfortable going to work 10 hrs a day. I tell you cuz I love you!
