Sometimes a little kindness goes a long way. (Actually, most times.)
Sometimes I get a little annoyed that the books I want to read are never available in the digital library. I hate waiting for books. What did I get my nook for?
Sometimes I get frustrated with keeping up with everything and everyone online and then I want to quit blogging all together. So far, that feeling hasn’t lasted very long and I usually remember very quickly what I love about being connected.
Sometimes I really hate how the hours slip away from me after work and just like that it’s time to go to bed again because the alarm is set for 5:40 a.m. I try to keep reminding myself that I do get my three days weekends in return and that’s not a bad trade-off.
Sometimes I miss playing softball like crazy. I loved playing in a team.
Sometimes I don’t understand why if one problem is solved, another instantly pops up.
Sometimes I get really excited to see friends that I haven’t seen in a while and look forward to finally meet up with friends that I’ve met online, but not yet met in person. Watch out, girls, I am almost on my way!
Sometimes I get a little carried away when shopping at Target, Ross, Marshalls, and similar stores. After all, everything is practically on sale and therefore a great bargain. Retail therapy definitely is a thing.
Sometimes I really should move on from certain things. Easier said than done.
Sometimes I get a little bit too excited about my potted vegetable garden. I had no idea how amazing it would be to watch your own vegetables grow.
Sometimes I let other people’s opinions of me bring me down even when I know they shouldn’t matter. Something to work on.
Sometimes I just like to be by myself. I love being around people, but I also need a certain amount of me-time to completely feel like myself.
Sometimes I want to get up early on the weekends and sometimes I want to sleep in. I always feel that if I sleep in for too long, I miss out on precious time that I could spend more wisely, and when I get up early, I feel I should allow my body more rest. So I compromise and usually get up around nine.
Sometimes I just don’t understand.
Your turn, fill in the blank. Sometimes I ______________________.

June 26, 2012 at 5:52 amI hear you. That’s the one disadvantage to eReaders. If you don’t download the books illegally, they’re either expensive or a little hard to come by. I think it will get better as time goes on!

June 26, 2012 at 6:04 amSometimes I allow what other people say, hurt my feelings. Even if they were accurate in their criticism of me. Call me a gentle soul.

And don’t stop blogging. I would miss you toooooo much.

June 26, 2012 at 8:10 amYou’re not lying about bargain shopping at places like Target. I swear, I can go in there with two things on my list and $150 later, I’m walking to my car wondering what just hit me!

June 26, 2012 at 12:12 pmI think you’re an amazing blogger because you seem to always be there for me and I don’t know how you can keep up with Twitter since I can’t. I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of important tweets from you. I’m THE ONE that can’t keep up! :) xoxo, thanks for being there for me.

June 26, 2012 at 4:37 pmThe waits for e-books kill me! I was hoping to request a book for a blogger book club I am in so I wouldn’t have to lug a physical book on my trip to Canada for Amber’s wedding – the wait was 110 people! Then I checked to see what the wait was for the physical book? No wait! There are like 200 copies available. Strange.
Sometimes I feel so lucky to live the life I live.
Sometimes I wonder why people are so negative and complain and complain about something instead of doing something to make a situation better.
Sometimes I wish we could all teleport ourselves from city to city so the physical distance between us bloggers with kindred spirits wasn’t so large. (well, I wish this all the time actually!!)

June 26, 2012 at 7:17 pmSometimes I wonder why I am blogging, why I am spilling bits of self into a swirly and open pool, but then I click and come to a corner and someone is asking me to think about a word – sometimes – and I feel my mind do a little jig, I feel the sensation of thinking, of relating, of being human, and I remember. I remember why.
Great post.

June 26, 2012 at 7:27 pmSometimes I get so blown away by having such amazing people in my life that I break down crying because life is so short to spend it with them.
Sometimes I wonder why awful things happen to such good people, and why I can’t do anything about it.
Sometimes I wish I could time travel. Actually scratch that, I wish I could time travel ALL the time :)

June 27, 2012 at 7:04 amI must live in a town where people don’t own e-readers because I rarely have to wait all that long for a book. I think the longest I’ve waited is a few weeks and that was for Mindy Kaling’s book and it had about 30 people on the wait list. I usually end up buying most of my books anyway, ha.

June 30, 2012 at 7:02 pmAren’t the tiny veggies just amazing!? I love seeing the life grow right in front of my eyes! And I need ME time too! A lot, actually!
Sometimes I get a little neurotic about everything being in it’s place.
Sometimes I go overboard at TJs. Or Costco. Or pretty much any place with food.

Ahem.
But really – I feel the same way on so many of these things. I hadn’t checked on my backyard garden for a few days and then went out to have a week and spent far too much time talking to my plants and telling them how nice and big they had gotten. I’m amazed that things I planted are actually growing.
Also? On the alone time? EXACTLY.
