Oh, So THIS is What Making Money Feels Like

This morning I woke up to my 7:30 a.m. alarm, groaned, and tried to plot ways for me to be able to go back to sleep.  I thought not showering was an option and I stumbled over to the mirror. EEK! No dice there. Then I thought to myself:

"Stop being such a wimp, SUCK IT UP, WOMAN!" 

I actually thought this in much harsher, not blog friendly terminology. I am so very nice to myself, it's really no wonder that I have such rocking self-esteem. 

I babysat for a new family this morning. This is something I said I would never do.  But then I realized I had no money. For the first time ever, really, I babysat a little girl. Which was nice and easy and all. But the fact of the matter is I pledged my loyalty to my favorite team long ago. I've been babysitting them so long, it was extremely difficult to adjust to a babysitting experience WITHOUT epic light-saber battles. I usually don't know who or what they are talking about when we're playing Star Wars, so usually they just tell me to be Obi-Wan and I'm set. Because I may not know Star Wars very well, but I love me some Ewan McGregor. So, I was relieved when I got to sit for them today. 

I did, however, see Star Trek recently.  I liked it, because I actually appreciated the escapism of space travel and the complexities of the interwoven realities. Oh, and Chris Pine is kind of adorable. Zachary Quinto, who played Spock, was attractive...I guess. But I could never be with a man who shapes his eyebrows. 

I realize that the coming of summer has removed any sort of depth or self-reflection from my blog. I have overly referenced the appearances of men. So un-feminista of me. But, you know it's still me because I whine about getting up early and I continue to use the word "epic" inappropriately. 

But I am LOVING it.
