Okay So It's Not A Fantasy (LOL)

     I suppose you could say this is sort of an addendum to Saturday's blog. Sort of! Well tonight I went out at about half 6, and first thing I noticed was that in the west there was still the last traces of light. The clouds streaked across it, a darker blue/grey across the lighter blue of the sky. The light was waning but it was still there. A few weeks back it was totally dark at the same time. More change, which is what I was talking about last time.  Change, it's nature's way. :-D 
     I said I need to roll with the changes going on in my life and yet the reason I was out tonight was to get my car tank filled. It was my habit to always go and gas up my car so I had a full tank to start my week off. I never used too much gas, as my trip to work was only about 10 minutes, but I like a full tank on Mondays. I find that I am still doing that but tonight I only needed a little over a 1/4 tank as I haven't driven much. My car just went over 80,000 miles. I've had her a little over 5 years. I must say I'm looking to top down weather, love driving that way. Once you experience it, it stays with you. Oh I'm talking the car top down by the way LOL Although on more than one occasion when hubs was at the wheel (usually) I have been known to apply the top down to myself on a warm summer night.  A trucker on I95N once got quite a view while hubs was driving us up to NY in his Jeep wrangler. LOL  Hubs dared me, don't ever dare me :-D hehe
     I sent out some resumes this week and I am happy with one in particular. I came upon it by accident from a friend I used to work with. I am not saying what it is, as not to jinx it, but please cross your fingers for me. I think I may have a good shot at it. I have a few to check in with tomorrow and speak to a few people so hopefully this time next month I will be employed. This way, although my trip to England will not happen in 2013, it WILL happen early 2014. This time I have a friend very interested in going with me, so I will not be alone. She and I would have a great time and a very thirst quenching time if you get my drift. (hic LOL) I will get to see my dear friend and his fab family, and wreak havoc in England and Ireland.  
    You know speaking of change, and nature, you have to give a respectful nod to the weather. We have, in my area of VA anyway, not had any kind of measurable snowfall. This may be changing on Wednesday. It's March for heavens sake!! It's been cold out so if we do get something it will stick. Although the temps will rise in the days after. {{Shrug!}} 
     The world that has been my home for almost 15 years is changing all the time. They are building a new Metro stop near us. Its called the "Silver Line". It will make a closer train commute from this area to DC. I had limited sight on this until I drove into another part of town and realized how long this line will be. It will go through East Falls Church, to Tyson's Corner (major corporate and mall area) to near me in Reston, and is supposed to eventually go all the way to Dulles Airport. At least here in Reston it's being met with much resistance and very watchful eyes, but every day I see it closer to completion. Will be interesting to see it when fully completed. 
     Ah change, we fight you, some embrace you, some are petrified of you. I figure I will take a Darwin approach. Learn to adapt myself, and live my life knowing that no matter what there will be change. I am cool with that, I mean living in Victorian times (with money of course) would be interesting but I would want air conditioning too. Yes change, I will do my best to accept you, go with you but please let me keep some things too. As we all need to know we can count on somethings to remain constant. OOOH maybe that can be the next blog HAHAHA
Until next time peeps, I say Ciao For Now
