10Am I the only one…
…who gets lost in thought while she’s driving and completely misses exits?
…who can go from wildly happy to woefully discouraged and back again in the span of 10 minutes?
…whose husband records hunting shows to watch later?
…who gets very fidgety without something in her hands at all times?
…who is mildly to mediumly obsessed with Scrabble letters?
…who stays up way later than she knows she should?
…who is considering finishing the 6th Harry Potter book tonight even though she has over 400 pages left and it’s almost midnight?
…who has a hard time spending money without feeling guilty?
…who wishes Jesus were here to ask very specific questions to (but realizes He would probably answer in parables/riddles anyway)?
…who loves the word flamboyant? and whimsy? and pilgrimage? and simplify?
…who hates to dress up and feels very uncomfortable in girly-girly clothes?
…who loves Sandi Patti’s Christmas album (but has sadly misplaced it)?
… who wishes the interior walls of her home were plastered with words and photographs?
…who struggles with anger? and self-pity? and pride? and poor time management? and selfishness?
…who could barely walk after one measly 30-day Shred workout?
…who doesn’t like ice cream? or cake?
…who feels very conflicted much of the time?
…who is going through giraffe withdrawal (again)?
…who wishes she had a clearer complexion?
…who can’t believe it’s December 10th already?
…who is surprised to read a post on this blog that’s less than 300 words?





“…who hates to dress up and feels very uncomfortable in girly-girly clothes?”
I’m right there with you. I hate dressing up. I’m not looking forward to being dressed up 3 days in a row this weekend. At least its for Jesus.
The problem is… you dressed up yesterday and looked SO BEAUTIFUL. So, you have no choice.
I’d say I’m only with you on five of those things… well, four since I can’t drive anymore…
But it sure is fun hearing about the rest from you
If you find your Sandi Patti, will you see if my Carpenter’s Christmas CD is with it? It’s missing.
My friend had the cutest Scrabble art in her house last night. It reminded me of you. I always get tickled when things in my outside-my-computer world start reminding me of friends-who-live-inside-my-computer. I like it. I think it’s like in The Veleveteen Rabbit when toys become “real.”
About half of those things describe my day!
Would you be willing to sing Another Time, Another Place with me using Athaiah’s karaoke machine next time you’re in town? I need someone to share the duet with and no one seems to know that song well enough to go for it…
