Observations

I wish I had it in me to write beautiful things. I read about breaking up with someone over stolen poetry and progressive poetry and song associations and it makes me wish I could express myself so well.

I'm Just Saying...

Several times in the past, I've heard people remark both to me and to others that one of the disadvantages of getting married is that you can't cut you toenails in bed anymore.

You think I'm joking? I'm not. I've actually heard people say this on more than one occassion.

Okay, I'll admit it: I do cut my toenails while sitting on my bed. It's the best place to do it. However, while there are advantages to being single, I have never once considered cutting my toenails in bed to be one of them.

That's all.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mother's birthday. My mother is, as you know if you've met her, an amazingly talented woman and the best mother ever. She has shared many things with me including (but not limited to) her birthday and her personality, but somehow I missed out on most of her creative ability. I'm not bitter, though (only a little jealous). Happy birthday, Mom!

It Turns Out There Is an Arizona

Well, I'm back. I've been too busy catching up with life to write anything, plus I couldn't decide what to write about my trip. I had a fantastic time and, as cheesy as it sounds, I learned a little more about myself while I was there. I won't get into that because I don't want to go all "modern psychology" on you and I don't like to get too personal on my blog. Anyway, Arizona was lovely. It snowed while I was in Prescott and was rainy and chilly most of the time I was there.
I met a lot of people while I was there and I found myself having the attitude that I didn't need to get to know anyone because I would never see them again, but then I realized that there were 9 or 10 people there who I had met before and never really expected to see again. Goes to show that you never know how people will come into your life - who will stay, who will go. There are people who I was very close to 5 years ago who I now have little or no contact with and there are people who I didn't even know 5 years ago or who I met and never expected to see again, who are now some of my closest friends.
I was happy that I found some people close to my age to hang out with. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found some people (one of whom used to live in Moscow and knew a lot of the same poeple I know) who are in similar places in their lives, so I had a good time getting to know them some.
Another thing I realized while I was gone is that I could never be on Survivor. Okay, okay, besides the fact that I'm a city girl who much prefers hotels and shopping to camping and hiking, it's that whole sleep deprivation thing that would really get me. I spent my first 3 nights in Arizona with limited sleep and by Sunday night, I was absolutely dilerious. I wish I could take a vacation where I go away for a few days, then come home for one night to sleep, then finish the rest of the vacation.
I started writing this with a point, but I forgot what it was supposed to be. I'm rambling. And I could keep on. For pages and pages. But I won't.
