I have started and scrapped so many posts lately, and I am not sure why. My journal(s) are filled with scribbles, rambles, lists, rants, and many expletives. So, tonight… a small ramble of my rambles:
(in no particular order)
when and how did social networking become so addictive?
when you ask someone how they are, and they say, "I'm fine."…it might be bullshit…and it might not
am I ever going to be skinny? ever? (no, but I am getting StRoNg)
I am excited to be in a book club…to begin rediscovering me in new ways (more to come on this)
who the hell do any of us think we are? do we even know? (hence the book club)
watching and hearing a child get excited over a book is incredible…I am so lucky I do what I do
how can five notes from a song literally change your complete mood and demeanor (in various ways)
I never thought that I would be 42 with a 2 year old….I never thought I would be 42 with a 2 year old
"life is a balance of holding on and letting go"~rumi
if you can't find the time in 60 days, 78 days, 139 days, you aren't going to find the time…be honest
I get to create and recreate who and how I am each and every day…and that is pretty damn cool
...which…is good--because I am never going to be perfect like I always dreamed…
how is it that I carried her for 9 months, and for the past 3 … I have been invisible? (this has been one of the most painful pieces of being a mommy…knowing she only wants daddy)
if you do what you have always done……you REALLY do get what you always got…
if you think you know me…you are probably wrong (I'm complicated)
mascara is magic…I love mascara
I still cannot believe I work out now!! (me!!??)
once I stopped making excuses--it felt so good…damn good
I over think…it is what I do. Stop telling me to relax and let it go…
"good grief" is one of my new favorite sayings (It is almost replacing "shiest")
sharing wine with my hubby at our kitchen table is one of my favorite things in the world
patio season is coming (and we need new patio furniture!!)
listening to my daughter role play with her babies is the most precious thing ever…("you wanna go to the park baby?")
it's never too late to become good friends with an old buddy
I can finally put my daughter's hair in pigtails!!!
I love seeing my friends' dreams come true…love love love it
being the dark horse must be fun--(but what does it mean, really)
I remembered the other day that when I was little, I used to hear, "She's Always A Woman" on the radio by Billy Joel, and I used to think..I want to be like that woman when I get older. (that says a lot about how complicated I really am)
you never really leave the east side
I cannot bear to say good-bye to this class (but I will --)
I have been repeating the same patterns of behavior since my earliest journals… (I will just blame my mom)
I love rocking my girl at night and telling the same stories over and over (I hope someday--those are the tales she blogs about)
I really am going to make my recipe book (I have an added feature other cookbooks don't have!!)
I never go to bed early when I say I am…
yep, this is how my mind runs….
the sun one minute-then she's pouring down rain (david nail)
….what are your rambles??
