Random thoughts...

Coming home for Christmas has been interesting... here are some highlights...

• Well first of all on the drive down, which was quite a drive... we passed a small sedan that had a deer in the back of the car. A REAL deer... feet tied with its head pressed against the window... there must be a story behind that one... but I sure had to laugh as the deer seemed to stare at me. I can only imagine how bad it smell... ick.


• Also along the drive we saw a truck piled high past the cab of the truck full of junk and on top it all was a washer and dryer... call me silly, but what was one of the heaviest things doing on top? It was a sight to see...


• Little Miss Isis Gwin was the star of the show this past week, being the only grandchild/niece she was well loved. Also it is amazing what grown adults will do to make a baby smile...


• Speaking of babies... I almost died when my mom referred to some baby as looking like jabba the hut? (I'm not sure if that's how you spell that) Actually she started off saying that it looked like a toad.... and a few seconds later she said no... he more looked liked jabba the hut...I almost died laughing...


• We had our tradition girls lunch today (My mom, my sister and myself). Some how the topic always gets turned to "It'll be interesting to see who Katherine brings into the family." Although luckily there is more pressure on my brother Stephen... in regards to that topic... well for the most part anyway...


• Also it never ceases to amaze me that even at 24 there are certain roles we don't grow out of... I will always be my sister's little sister... and my brothers' older sister.... besides the stated obviousness, it is interesting the roles that are attached. I wonder if I will ever tire of tickling my youngest brother til he squeals... well probably... but until then.


• I love my family, but definitely it has been reaffirmed, I hate driving with them. My dad is always driving like a bat out of hell... and everybody else makes me sick as the speed up on turns, brake hard, etc. Bleh..


• To be honest Christmas came and went so quickly I almost went through it with no emotion which makes me quite sad since it is one of my favorite times of year.


• And here comes New Years... anybody up for something fun? let me know.

In over my head....

Well it may seem at my amazing stature of 5'2 it wouldn't be too hard to be in over my head, but it has been quite the semester. After turning in a rather mediocre paper at eight o'clock this morning, I finally feel as though I can take a deep breath, and relax for just a second before diving into finals. So I have always been slightly jealous of people who seem extremely talented, in fairly visible talents. Or also I always felt very dull when people asked what are your hobbies.... then a rather blank stare would normally come over my face. Although I may not be very talented, I have decided to recomitt myself to dedicate time to things I want to learn how to do better the top three right now are photography, baking, and playing the piano. I will try to overcome the thought of my pinkies being pounded into the piano keys, when I was eleven, for not curving them just right. There are so many things that I really do enjoy doing, that I need to simply take time out of my day to do them. I can't wait until Christmas!!! I am so excited to see my family a week from today!

A curious morning...

So technically I started this blog in July but I never wrote on it... until tonight. I never have felt like I had anything interesting to write, and well I guess even today... there isn't anything of interest to write. But for some reason today I felt like I wanted to tell somebody about how as I was stepping in to the shower this morning, I noticed in the corner by the shower door a wet pair of turquoise panties. Talk about random, if not a little nasty. To say the least it was a little sketchy... And it didn't make much sense.... Kind of awkward that this is my first post. Anyways perhaps this can be a place of expression. Lately the temptation to drop out of school has become even more tempting. I had a dream the other night that I started a dessert shop. Hmm.... with only a few classes left I'll wait it out I guess. :) Well here's to some random ramblings... :)
