Sometimes I blow things totally out of proportion.
Sometimes I need to remind myself of the little things. The sun peaking through the window shades. Hearing my niece laugh over the phone. Skype dates with far-away friends.
Sometimes I just need to spend the day in my pajamas and not leave the house at all. I need to drink cafe lattes like it’s my job, read my book, watch TV and simply vegetate on the couch.
Sometimes I wish I was more spontaneous and would go on weekend trips more often, but since I am gone for most of the day all week, I really enjoy time at home in our cozy apartment on the weekends. I have been and will always be a homebody.
Sometimes I miss living in Westwood. We had a beautiful apartment and great time in LA and sometimes I miss being so close to the beach, Santa Monica, and Hollywood.
Sometimes I wish I would enjoy bubble bath more. I like the idea of a hot bubble bath (especially in the winter), but the truth is, I usually don’t have time for a bubble bath, because of all the things I could be doing.
Sometimes I don’t understand what is so hard about using your turn signal. No, really.
Sometimes I really like to stay up till 3 a.m. in the morning, writing, blogging, watching Netflix and drinking tea. Unfortunately, I hardly ever do that (except for right now!), because I usually regret sleeping away half of the following day.
Sometimes I should let things go. It’s not something that comes naturally to me. I tend to overanalyze and try to make sense of the most nonsensical situations. I know there must be other people out there who do that, right?
Sometimes I want to blog so badly about stuff, but just can’t find the words. I always try to be patient and wait until the words come out on their own.
Sometimes I think of my sister and instantly my heart is so full. Some days I just really, really miss being close to her even more than usual.
Sometimes I believe there is no better place to meet new friends than at IKEA.
Sometimes I would love to have more time in the day to connect with all the wonderful people that I have met through blogging. It’s not only hard to keep up with my ever-growing Google Reader subscriptions, but also with Twitter. As I tweeted the other day, I can’t sleep longer than 7 hours or my twitter feed will explode in my face. Heh. I hope you all know how much appreciate the interaction with you all. ♥
Your turn, fill in the blank. Sometimes I ______________________.

February 10, 2012 at 6:24 amYou should try to fit in at least one bubble bath a week, especially if you like them! I take them quite often. :)

I sooooo agree with this…..to be patient and wait for the words to come, is so hard for me too. But then suddenly, they are just there……
Ich wünschte ich könnte das so super wie du auf Englisch….ich kann das eher auf Deutsch, im Englischen geht bei mir nur allgemeines Blabla…..wenn ich im Deutschen schreibe, dann kann ich einfach genau das ausdrücken, was ich sagen will. Mir fehlen einfach mit meinem Alltagsenglisch zu viele Wörter. Und ich liebe die Sprache, man kann so viel damit machen, so viel ausdrücken.

February 10, 2012 at 9:37 amI am terrible at letting things go! I over analyse everything and drive myself crazy all. the. time. It’s something I really need to work on.

February 10, 2012 at 9:43 amI agree- I need to make more of an effort to be a couch potato sometimes. I always end up finding things to do and pretty soon I’m being productive again, lol.
Your words about your sister are beautiful. They warmed my heart! I hope you get to see her again soon <3

February 10, 2012 at 11:24 amI love the thought of a bubble bath, I just never take the time for one either! And I love staying up forever on the weekends and stay in bed til I wake up! Now that L is older that actually sometimes works! Have a wonderful weekend!

February 10, 2012 at 12:15 pmI’ve been making more time for bubble baths lately because they really relax me once I let go of my urge to do something productive instead.
I’m awful at letting things go, too. I dwell on and read into every little thing while most people completely forget about them. It’s a tough habit to break.

YES! Oh man, I thought I was the only one!
Sometimes I doubt my own abilities, and wallow in my bad thoughts, even though I know that I am better than that!
Sometimes I need a bowl of ice cream.

February 11, 2012 at 1:48 pmThis is such a sweet post! I am, and always will be, a homebody. I mean I love to travel and go out and be spontaneous, but there is something so AMAZING about walking into my home and sitting in my room… I definitely love the days that I get extra amounts of me-time at home to enjoy that feeling!

February 12, 2012 at 12:21 pmSometimes I resent the fact that I am spending all this time studying when I could be doing other more fun things… then I remember I am the one who chose to purse a CFA designation…
Sometimes I wish I could take a month hiatus from returning phone calls…
Sometimes I just have to cut myself some slack and realize I can’t pack as much into each week as I would like.

February 14, 2012 at 2:47 pmI never understand why people can’t use turn signals. It’s not hard.
And I sometimes miss my younger years of staying up late and writing until the sun came up. That was fun, but now, I just like sleeping.
