Semi Productive Playlist

I know I bitched about the heat yesterday but today it made me want to do NOTHING. I got the bare minimum done. Folded laundry, washed one load, and made myself home made sweet potato fries...I am such a slacker. Oh, I dyed my hair as well...not bad for someone who waited all day to watch The Duggar special on TLC.

I really have nothing new to report and most people don't want to hear about the move everyday so here is my semi-productive playlist for today:

Silver Springs- Fleetwood Mac
It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)- R.E.M.
Got To Be Real-Cheryl Lynn
Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)- Looking Glass
Summer Day- Coconut Records
Send Me On My Way-Rusted Root
Material Girl- Madonna
Check Yo' Self- Ice Cube
Lust for Life-Iggy Pop and The Stooges
Bizarre Love Triangle- New Order

the heat, the clinginess of Monkey, packing

This is seriously the hottest June in Oklahoma I have ever witnessed. I am so over it. 112 is something I would expect in August. Not now. I have spent days on the couch not moving for fear of perspiration. I have watched more Food Network (which I hate) and Criminal Minds than I care to admit.

The dog is even more clingy that usual. Which sucks for me because I have now convinced myself that he understands when I say I am moving and that he doesn't want me to go. I think if he could talk and tell me that then I would probably consider staying. That is how important my baby is to me.

My to do list of things pre-move seems to endless...I guess instead of worrying about Hotchner and the gang over at Criminal Minds I should be accomplishing things on my list.


  • laundry
  • pack shoes
  • transfer all my music to my Mac
  • pack beauty products (flat iron, blow dryer, makeup , hair stuff)
  • pack books
  • pack cook books (this was the first thing I packed)
I guess I will update this list as needed.

I need coffee.

I'm headed back home to the West Coast (THE BIG MOVE)

I am moving. Some people were shocked by this. I am leaving in 6 weeks. yeah, I get that it is kinda sudden. I get that seems like it came from out of no where. And maybe it did, but this is something I need to do for me. I have been trying to give Lawton all I have and frankly, it is not working.

Not that I owe anyone an explanation but here is what I will be doing. Going to City College of San Francisco and finding any job I can ASAP. My goal is next fall to be in the History Honors Program at San Francisco State University.

I am sad about leaving my kids and my mom and my dog. I will miss my friends terribly. But I am guessing with iChat, Skype, Gmail video chat and everything else available, it won't really be like missing them.

the name of this blog is The Reinvention of Amy.

This is just another part of my reinvention.
