The Varelas

Bored at work with random thoughts
The last couple of weeks were so busy at work that this week is dragging! Yesterday, I got a lot of things done that had been put on the backburner (oh how I hate that cliché, but, well, there it is in my writing). But I also did some Internet surfing, which I do all the time at work but I know is so stupid since my employer has access to my computer over the network and knows everything I do on it! I remember someone saying that the president of our company joked last year that the most visited website of 2002 was Monster.com (job website)... which is funny since our company is really great and I think we have above average employee retention/tenure rates.

I wish this weekend's trip to VA were a little bit longer. After the parties/graduation festivities, there will really only be 2 days of regular visiting. But I guess that's better than nothing. I realized this past weekend that I only talk to my dad once every few months. That isn't good. My mom and I talk most every day over e-mail (though only every couple weeks on the phone). And I don't really talk to Greg and Lucy very often either. The problem is that we aren't phone people. None of us really likes talking on the phone (I passed that phase in junior high).

I have been having pangs of wanting to be pregnant. I guess it's because it's happening all around me with our friends (many on their second child already!--Scott and Kim's 2nd is due August 8; Rob & Kristen's 2nd is due in October or November; Fred and Susan's 2nd is due September 15; Ricci and Joe's 1st is due November 1). But then I do remember how much I enjoy all the time Jon and I get together, and all the fun little trips we're taking this year and the things we get to do on the spur of the moment. And all the Saturdays I get to sleep in. So I can wait.
