If the snow was any deeper, I could dig a hole straight through to China!

Update on the Outdate

It's beginning to look like the other side of this has dropped off and so has this side. Two sides make a whole thing. It looks like the whole thing has dropped off. I don't get much time to write or maybe all of my hangups stop me. V, on the other side found a life it seems. I'm going to miss her, this land of no life was quite entertaining, and here I exist all alone now. Truly I have a life, a busy one, an existent one, a dull boring to tell about one, one that keeps me content. That perhaps is the reason I don't write. If I wanted to be interesting or readable I would certainly have to embellish.
A long time ago in a land far away, just down the street and around the corner, I was a whole different person. I was barely recognizable, or maybe now I am barely recognizable to then. It's amazingly intriguing in a sometimes "I wish I didn't know me" sort of way. I mostly try not to let my mind wander backwards but it often gets out there on it's own and ends up drifting behind me. I reach back, give it a tug and let it decide if it wants to keep up or not. It seems to be following me around much better than it used to.
To summarize, I've been enough people in my life so far to form a small gathering and call it conflicting company rather than an all out Saturday night party. I am evolving to the place I will be content, at least until I forget who I am due to old age or some other act of nature. Evolving is the key word, not revolving or regressing, evolving is in more of a forward light-stepping, slow moving direction. I find myself reaching less and less often for those sharp blades of memory and guilt and living more and more in the moment. Progress? I should say so!
Goodbye V! Good luck on your adventure! Good bye me, good luck on your forward moving momentum. Someday I won't tell you all of the details. No worry, I will be back...all of me.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human
institution which rejects progress is the cemetary. ~Harold Wilson

Dream Dream...

Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely
insane every night of our lives.
William Dement, in Newsweek, 1959

I've been here in this new land (land meaning world, world meaning work) for 5 months or more now, almost half a year. It's peaceful and quiet most of the time. The faint chatterings across the way aren't even enough to fully wake me from this dream. Dream meaning half awake state while looking at my screen.

Speaking of dreams I had a frightening one the other morning. It kept me awake all day long, I had to stay awake anyway but this one made residence in my mind. I even made phone calls concerning it, just to make sure it was only a dream. It was.

Another thought concerning dreams...I noticed that Belle read my, well looked at my last post and even commented on it. That page gets me through some rainy days and I'm sure we would have some rainy days if it wasn't for all of this snow! The dream.. the dream is Belle was able to touch him and look at him in real life! I bet that was dreamy! Thanks for the comment Belle, I am indeed jealous much.

Random Acts of Kindness...And Other Things I would like to keep on hand for a rainy day...

He was adorable in August Rush! And adorabler in Tudors, I need to get Showtime!

His mom never taught him how to keep his shirt buttoned and in place... We owe her for that one.

Oops, don't let go of that sword, your pants might fall off.

Just another little something to have on hand for those stormy rainy days. I'll take two with a side of another one please. Oh I hope it rains soon.

I've seen the entire world...

Well, it's been a while. The trip around the world was a success in my mind. No literally in my mind. I have been wanting to go and see and do for so long that I can only think or dream about it. For now, little baby steps will have to suffice...the grocery store, then the next town over and then the next and maybe further north. Who knows maybe soon I will make it out of the state. The state of vacationlesness that is. The first week in August I am actually going to make leaps and bounds not only to a few towns over but to a whole state away. I'm planning, plotting, stressing, waiting and hoping. By the time it gets here I will be saying "ohhh it's so much trouble to get away, what was I thinking?".

I've seen the entire world on one of those pretty globes in the classroom when I was a teenager. It didn't really look all that big, I can do it.

Day 2,635,498

The villagers are starting to feed off of the field mice and the barnyard animals are getting restless! It happens every year about this time with the sun coming out in full force during the day and the nights getting warmer, more stars in the sky and mosquitos swarming the fences. It's nearly time to close shop and take the canoes down to the bayou to skirt around crocodiles and hunt for alligators in hopes of new shoes and maybe a nice pair of boots.

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes
you.

Well she made some friends on the singles site but we got bored with it eventually. It was fun for a while. Now she has integrated into one of my alter egos. Hmmm.. Funny how that happens. It's how we pass the time for today. Who knows how we will in March.

The neighbor business is scraping our walk, it snowed all night. She says if one of us baked we could take cookies. If only one of us baked...

40 hours a week in an office together, we really need to get out more!
