"Maniac" Monday!

I woke up this morning knowing, yes, absolutely knowing that I was to "rock" today!  It's Monday and you've got to start the week with a bang and a bit of pizazz.  The day flew by...or at least I like to think it did.  Sometimes on Monday mornings I feel like an absolute maniac.  Yes, you read that correctly - I do.  Your probably wondering "why"...well, let me tell you why.  Typically it's because I haven't finished everything I want to from my 2-day personal days that I take every week (Saturday and Sunday).  These days are work days for me, but "personal" work days.  It's the 2 days a week that I complete all my personal "to-do's" that I can't do during the week.  Yep, I cram it all in and it literally leaves no down time.  Nope, none, nada, zilch.

Long story short on at times on Monday's mornings as I great ready for work I feel like an absolute "maniac"!!!  I'm trying to get ready and put my "work face" on and put my work to-do list in order.  Yes, I am thinking about my to-do list before I even get there.  I use a lot of sticky notes.  Yep, I do.  And at home too!  Sticky notes are my friends.  Who doesn't love them, right?  I thought you'd agree with me.

Today it got dark rather early.  Well, actually it was overcast all day and dusk set a lot earlier than normal due to the clouds.  Not really.  I know it's fall and it gets dark earlier.  Also, I need to call the east coast tomorrow so I need to figure out the time difference (note to self).  Yes, a nice little random note to myself in the middle of my blog post this evening.  But, you see there is a method to my madness...  One of you fabulous ladies from the east coast is going to "comment" and let me know whether it's 3 hours or 4 hours.  I'm leaning towards 4 because Arizona doesn't change and daylight savings hasn't happened yet.  Anyhow.

So, I pull out of the parking garage and it's 88 degrees outside and it's dusk.  It was a surreal feeling of sorts this evening.  Truly it was.  And I still can't put my finger on it.  Yes, I did open my sunroof and roll down my windows and feel the wind in my hair.  A refreshing feeling after being in the office all day today.  I stayed in for lunch today.

I worked on blog posts this evening, watched Hart of Dixie, and finished this scarf.  For some reason I'm unable to write and complete a blog post in one sitting...when, I've picked a "set" topic...I wonder why?  Any writers out there that would love to comment, I'm all ears?  I have an outline as well.  It's basic, but it's an outline.  Maybe it needs to be more detailed?  I have an outline of all of my posts bulleted and then sub-categories for items in the post or multiple series posts.  Hmmm, I think I need to streamline it.  Imagine that...organization may be the key?!

Alrighty, I thought I'd write a fun little post about today and I did.  I sort of enjoyed the dusk setting quite early today however, I will love it even more when the temperature cools down too.  I'll get a taste of cooler temperatures in about 2 weeks.  I have a little adventure planned...check back tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by ...this & that... and have a wonderful evening!  I hope your "Maniac" Monday rocked.
