Weather. What a phenomenon. I am amazed at how our lives are controlled by it. I was thinking this today as I was deciding what to wear to school. And then what to pack to go to Arizona. And then how we might not go to San Diego because the weathers going to be rainy while we're there. Here in Michigan, it's cold right now. Bitter cold. Not the kind of weather you'd want to be out in with just nylons on your legs (yep - that was a smart fashion move today). But think about it - weather impacts our moods, our days, our activities. We ski, we swim, we get excited because it's warm or cool. I am especially thoughtful on it today as I get ready for Yuma - 80 degrees there! Woohoo. I'm pulling out the sandals and hoping for some pink cheeks when I return.
So let's see - what else today. Oh, I got to hold Maddy tonight. She's the daughter of my friends, Dan and Sara. Madison was born in August and she's at the cute wiggly stage where she can smile and she fits right under my chin when sitting on the table. She just gurgles and bubbles and spits up a little and lets me kiss her head and cuddle her. She's perfect right now:-)
Also - I had class today. I am really liking my Sunday class. We do good work, get it done, and go home. And they are doing so well with their speeches. And they are all interesting. I am proud of them. Isn't it funny how we can be proud of people who achieve something like good public speaking skills and proud of people who learn to pull their socks off (i.e., Maddy). What an emotion - proudness.
So I guess enough rambling for now. My apartment's all out of whack because they are coming to clean the carpets tomorrow and I am trying to leave as much open space as possible because they don't move stuff. So tables are in the kitchen, the couches are all pushed around, chairs are in the bathroom, it's weird. Almost like I'm moving - which I'm not, yet:-) Gotta make it through another lease first. Although, I have the constant reminder of this quote in my head yesterday and today - "If you want to hunt alligators, you have to go where the alligators are." As I settle in to watch Grey's Anatomy (yes, my official favorite show, let's pause in a moment of silence for the passing of the torch from Alias and West Wing) I am thinking about how I should go about getting my own show. Oh it's gonna happen people, you just wait! Over and out.
