Appearing Thoughts

My brain is clogged.  I just need to pull the drain and regroup, ifyouplease.  Happy Friday!

If my siblings and I were a techno band our names would be: Mike-Noe, Meg-Koe, Mo-Moe, Jim-Toe.  We would be called the Lau-Loes. 

I lead two lives.  Not like duplicity, but more like....felicity.  I have to do it to survive.  (if you 'time share' you may understand.)

Why do people "like" politics?  Seriously?  What is the appeal there??  I am a conscientious citizen, and lively debate is certainly needed...but the overwhelming and numerous facebook rants make me crazy. 

This freaks me out.  Saw this guy's work for the first time in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry.  Fascinating, but certainly probes my 'ethical lobe'. 

One of Michael's friends is regularly using the word 'hot' to describe little girls (and not so little girls).  My first reaction was to get angry...my second was to feel flooding relief that Michael knew and acknowledged right away that this was an 'inappropriate word' for a 7 year old to use.  In context, this word can be funny/complimentary.  I tell my friends they look 'hot' all the time.  Jim and I may tease each other with its use (in private).  More often than not, though, I prefer to know Jim finds me beautiful, rather than just HOT.  I can't shelter Michael from the world, and this I know...but I can at least equip him for it, guide him on how to be kind, respectful, and a GENTLEMAN! 

I miss my sister.  it really bites that she lives so far away.  that guy Liam, too. 

I think Jimmy's so funny.  I love it when he makes other people laugh.  I get very smug.  I really hope it's not obvious. 

I miss Regina!  I hope she's somewhere in the world (probably Boston) patiently listening to a lost soul....and I hope hers is whole and in tact. 

I think people give Mormons a bad rap.  It's undeserved.  Live and let live. 

I love me some FRO YO, YO!! 

and some Frodo, yo. 

I turn 28 in one week and two days.  Aging doesn't scare me....ending does. 

But...life is life.  On that note, I'll wrap it up with Noah and the Whale.


Happy Friday, my friends...even you, Friend-foe.
