Frame of Reference

I have discovered a new dimension of torture. Sitting in a smallish classroom while 14 people scrape plaster with metal hooks. It's like surround sound nails on a chalkboard x14. On top of that, I was sitting at a table where my fellow classmates decided to debate the bible and homosexuality while they scrape. I was clenching my jaw so hard I was seriously worried about cracking my back teeth. I want a t-shirt commemerating this event..."I survived stupidity and all I got was this plaster covered t-shirt". I've earned it! *grin*

Not quite since it's still like 90 degress! I can't wait for the crisp mornings, maybe with a little frost on the ground and the leaves all changing colors. Could possibly be my favorite time of the year, can you tell? I also like how mornings give you a different perspective on things, autumn or not. The sunrise just seems to bring hope or something, maybe I feeling that anything can be fixed. Yikes, I better stop now...I'm getting all philosophical. I seem to be in a very creative mood. Lately I've been in kind of a stagnant state of mind, not really wanting to do much of anything. Unfortunately with all of this creativeness I need focus because I want to do like a million things at once so I end up not doing anything at all. That'll be my goal, find the focus! ^-^

Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes it's hard....sometimes it's easier WHEN SILENCE BECOMES EVERYTHING BUT, AND LOVED ONES WALK IN STRANGERS’ SHOES, TIME SLOWS AND YET MOVES BEYOND MERE COMPREHENSION, SHOULD YOU BE WORRIED? MAYBE WHEN CONFUSION MURDERS REASON AND TAKES THE CROWN TO AMAZING APPLAUSE FROM ONLOOKERS AND SIGHTSEERS, WHICH ONLY LEADS TO DREAMS BECOMING REALITY, BUT WITHOUT REASON THE DREAMS NEVER WERE, THEY SIMPLY ARE- NIGHTMARES. INSANITY STARTS TO MAKE SENSE AND BECOMES COMFORTABLE AS ONE BLUE EYED GIRL CRIES TEARS OF SYMPATHY FOR WHAT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

So, I got a canadian quarter back in change from somewhere...I don't remember where, not important anyway, and I'm going to do my laundry. I put in three US quarters and the canadian quarter ( I never considered the machine would not take the money ). So I push the little contraption in and the machine starts - and out pops my three quarters and the canadian quarter. It takes me a minute to realize the implications of this phenomenon...but then I get it! Cue the light bulb!! Could this mean free laundry? Have I outsmarted the machine? But I am not one to (enter cliche phrase here:) I'll go with "count my chickens before they hatch" This could be a fluke you know? With butterflys in my stomach I wait impatiently for the washing cycle to finish so I can move on to the dryer and have my dreams come true. When it beeps I almost pee my pants. My hands shake slightly as I feed the quarters into the machine....and VIOLA! We have free laundry. I'm a genius!!!!!!...

I really hate to say things are going good, because I know just as soon as I do, something will happen. Call me superstitious. I really like this calmness though. I am the zen master! ;p I should probably start taking bets on when exactly the universe will beat my ass down for saying things are good. Useless, random bit of trivia. Enigma (the group) is FANTASTIC to draw to!

I know there are a million different types of chicken noodle soup out there, but I think I will always have a place in my heart for Campbells. Everytime I was sick as a child, my grandma and mom would make me campbells soup. However, as an adult, it's really not the same making it for yourself when you're sick. The soup tastes A LOT better with a big helping of sympathy on the side right next to the crackers. I was so spoiled...

You know you're 'growing up' when you miss your bed. I remember when I was a kid I could care less where I slept. Heck, I slept in a tent, on the floor, in a sleeping bag...it didn't matter. But now, whenever I go on trips, or find myself not sleeping in my bed :) I MISS it! Not many things come close to coming home to your own bed. I know I'm just being silly :) A picture I took over labor day!
