Ennui

Lately, I've been feeling as though I've got a case of ennui. A word that I learned on Gilmore Girls many years ago...

From Wikipedia:

Ennui is a word meaning general lack of interest or boredom, or depression. It may also refer to oppressive boredom.

Michel: Look, I've had my peace with the fact that everyone who calls here is a notch above brain dead, and that the pennies I am thrown each week are in exchange for me dealing with these people in a nonviolent manner. And usually that is fine, but today, sorry lady, I have ennui.
Lorelai: So, you're sleepy?
Michel: It's a metaphysical angst.
Lorelai: So, you wanna go beddy bye?
Michel: You make light, it increases my ennui.
Lorelai: Okay, that's it. Come on you need coffee.

I just can't seem to shake this feeling and it's getting to be a bit obnoxious.

On top of that, they didn't do a thing to our house last week. However, our windows/doors/lumber were all delivered. So hopefully this week the framing will all be going up and we'll have something to take pictures of this weekend. We did stop by this past Saturday after going to Canal Days (where we tried, and LOVED, deep fried Oreos) and since my mom was with us we had her take a picture of us...where our future deck will be. You can see some of the lumber in the front yard. We didn't get any photos besides this one because my camera battery was dead.
Good news from Saturday, aside from my getting a facial, was that I found a really old pair of jeans. A pair of jeans I bought about 5 years ago, yes when I was 19. I couldn't really fit into them then, but had hopes of losing some weight and wearing them. Well that never happened. I did wear them, COMFORTABLY, on Saturday though. I plan on wearing them everyday from here on out because they make me feel fabulous! Ok, I won't really wear them everyday, but I want to.

Maybe tomorrow I'll post some pictures and a recap of the Kenny Chesney concert last week. It was incredible and of the 7 times I've seen him I can honestly say it was the absolute best concert he's put on. No question. It's all that I've been able to think about for the past few days and it's become a bit of an obsession...Hey, the first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

I apologize for the jumbled mess that this blog seems to be...I took some Tylenol PM a little while ago and well yea...it's kicking in.

Goodnight.
