This one goes out to Lisa for being bored and needing something a little pointless to make class go by a little faster on these beautiful pre-summer teaser days. Pre-summer teaser days are the ones that come and go and change from one morning to the very next. You wake up and its sunny and 85 in the shade and the next day its drizzly and 45 for the next three days in a row. Such is the flirty and bitchy spring fling mother nature submits us to after winter hell. Like every smart woman I know, she's a tease.
If you are wondering, dear Mack, why I have not written anything for you and me and the universe in the last month it is because I have been preoccupied with going outside instead of just sitting at the computer for 10 hours a day. A few weeks ago when I could wear t shirts outside I suddenly remembered that I had a body and it liked being outside and moving a bit. Weird. Slowly, I became a human being again rather than a zombie at my computer. It's not that my social calendar is growing but I'm becoming a citizen of the outdoors again. It's so very corny of me but I see simple things like leaves on trees and magnolia flowers and I feel very small and in a way it's a nice feeling. It makes everything that felt so very important a month ago during exams not so important anymore. It reminds me that I take simple things for granted and that maybe someone or something made all those beautoful things because they are just too beautiful to be coincidences. I write about this every spring, see archives of last May. But, this year I am convinced that I cannot live in a place where there is winter for five months. i don't like who I am in the winter and I cannot spend half my life with a person I do not like.
Go listen to In The Areoplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. The whole thing from start to finish and then tell eveyrone else to. They will thank you and be better for it.
http://skary.net/ Go here and laugh at the little children who are so creepy it's adorable. I know as well as anyone just how scary children really are.
This reminds me of an adorable and equally histerical story about adventures in babysitting this week. I walked into a living room the other day to fond two little boys happily pretending to breast feed two dolls. And then they demanded I take off my shirt and feed my own dora the explorer baby they set out just for me. They were not happy when I declined. Tears. I had tears. Gotta love those boys. They have convinced me if I have my own little army of scary kids they should all be sons, sons with black hair and honest minds with honest mouths.
This reminds me that summer is coming along with hundreds of children I've missed and new ones that I'm bound to miss eventually. Camp is proving to be less stressful the second time around and I'm excited that the staff is looking so much better than last year. The themes and field trips are looking fabulous and I can't wait to live like an over worked caffienne addict five days a week. And I even booked my first real vacation that lasts longer than two days. August brings Chicago and Lollapalooza! I can't think about too long or my head starts to spin.
But now, sexy Lisa, I have to sleep. I have to sleep because I'm nervous and tired and strung out on coffee and mostly nervous.
Happy Sexy Spring Fling
Cheers dolls.
