I hate being in one of my favorite places and having my 'peace' interrupted by loud talking. I was at Starbucks after work with my book, sitting on a leather lounge chair, enjoying my me time, when two women sat at the next table and proceed to have a loud conversation. I need white noise when I read. I just dropped Emily off at a friend's, and told her I'd hang out at Panera's for two hours while she visited. I'm sitting here with my sandwich, and there's a Girl Scout meeting going on about 20 feet from me. One woman and 3 girls. I can hear every word the Leader is saying. And I'm annoyed. Mind you, I was a Girl Scout leader for 9 years, so I shouldn't be annoyed. It's just the loud voice. I feel the same way about people with loud voices on their cells. End of complaining. I'm changing chairs.

Ah, much better. I should have done that sooner.

So, crazy weather day. Lots of rain and wind. The rain was over by 4:00. I skipped Borders because I was afraid it was going to get really bad. It was kind of nice hanging out at Starbucks with my book. Till the loud people came. I walked when I got home. It was kind of wonderful because it was real windy. Emily wanted to go to a friend's house that's near this Panera's, so I thought I'd just hang out so I don't need to come out again to get her.

Well, I thought I'd end this by saying I was going to read for an hour then pick Emily up. Not the case. She's going to stay later and I'll come back to pick her up. Wah!
