Some Kinda Chick!

It's all so consuming. Completely draining. There are people who face these things in this field far more than myself. How do they do it?

I know how I do it.
Kimberly.
She is so supportive. I couldn't do it without her!

Days like today, for example. The world was far too serious, too dark.

She made me have fun. She forced my mind out of the shadows. I had absolutely no choice.

You see, today we went on a date to pet chicks. Baby ducks were an added bonus.

It was Kimberly's first time ever seeing, much less holding, chicks or baby ducks in person.


She fell in love with them all immediately. Especially the ducks. She actually cuddled them!

Seeing the woman I love overwhelmed with such innocent, childlike wonderment just made everything else seem to . . . fade away.

For twenty minutes, nothing in this world existed but her, myself, and a bunch of chicks and few baby ducks. How amazing!!!


I am so blessed to have Kimberly in my life!!!

Pop Music

Pop music.

It's like poop.

Everyone does it.

Nobody talks about it.

Spiderwebs

I am a fly.

Well, not really, but today I played the part.

I flew right into a sneaky, sticky, sickening, spiderweb.

Completely foiled.

It was a trap and I totally flew right into it.

YUCK!!!

*Today I took a trip down memory lane, all the way back to 6th grade. With no cable, we frequently watch TV series on DVD, usually ALF. Today we mixed things up a little and watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the first four episodes of the first season.

I am also excited to report I have not left home once, ALL DAY, with the exception of going outside a little, but that doesn't count. This is the first day I've stayed home since we've lived in this apartment, besides one day that I was super sick, which was NO fun and again, doesn't count!

Thank God for lazy days!!! and DVD series!

Snow Day!

For some reason, I completely LOVE snow and ice. Looking out the window and seeing snow piled up a good foot or two, it just makes the world seem cozy to me.

And to this day, I still get an overwhelming urge to run outside and play in it. Feeling the snow crunch under my feet. The way it feels when the wind blows snow flakes into my face. Knocking down icicles and hearing the satisfying "tink" they make when hitting the ground.

Of course, there's always that moment of sadness. Seeing how the once pristine blanket of snow is now marred with my footprints. The crystalline icicles now shattered on the ground.

But, then the feeling of coming back inside afterwards! Changing into warm and dry clothes to lounge in, maybe drinking some hot chocolate. Feeling completely content to just be home.

My mission in life today might be to take a walk out in the snow later. . . Then spend the rest of the evening doing . . . nothing ;o)
