Dancing with dogs

Feb 14, 2006 10:11

A good way to start a day is to turn up the radio to the LOVE show on KFOG playing oldies and dance wildly around the living room iin your pijamas with a dog who also likes to dance. I sit here, overloking a playground full of children. Somehow even the sound of them satisfies my teaching gene. Which is good, because I have other things to do ( Read more... )

Sometimes, it does seem, that life may be good. I woke up thinking of all the things I had to do and then I thought: why do I have to? I don't. I can just enjoy the day. So that is what I am going to do.

I read back over this and think, gosh, it started out so well, I got sucked into the computer and trying to do something on it, then SO called and the proverbial shit hit the fan and that whole day was POOF, gone. Enjoyable in that I got to feel intensely and this be sure I was human, but the grand plans got stymied! I am glad that someone had an enjoyable day. Maybe tomorrow.

I like this style a lot -- not sure how it would look on, though. Not sure if skirts are wide enough to accomodate horse-back riding -- you'd have to try on.

Oh -- and -- when you get back to the Bay area (since it seems you are elsewhere again) I want to take you shopping at several places in San Rafael and San Anselmo -- I think one is called "Shadows" and one is called -- oh, heck, I can't remember the name -- but they have gorgeous vintage dresses in every style and color. And accessories too. -- ye fran

Ah wedding planning. About half way through my stint of it I had decided that it is predominantly a thinly veiled culture-wide hazing ritual (no pun intended with the veil bit). The whole process made much more sense to me after that realization. But I have the feeling that you will do a much better job of keeping it your own than I managed to :-). Speaking of your wedding - this has reminded me that the Wheeler boys were wanting to know when yours is going to be so that they can plan Eldest Wheeler's bachelor party around it. I couldn't remember which weekend exactly that you had told me.

August 11th and 12th.

As I have never experianced any hazing rituals (that I am aware of at least!) it is all quite hidious to me. The comsumerism is rampant and the cultural weight is intangible. How did we as a culture get so obsessed with a picture? On a side note, I saw on the box last night a story about a woman who got vaginal corrective surgury to reduce the size of her labia. She said something along the lines of: "they are just so big and they get in the way and they don't look like the should." Heck, I don't look like I should according to many in this society, nor do most people I know, so why the obsession?
