Random musings…and why I’m no blogger
I’m beginning to realize that I really suck at blogging, journaling, whatever the heck you want to call it. I just can’t seem to consistently keep it up. Nontheless, here is another post. I hesitate to call it an update, beacuse I don’t feel like actually updating you with everything that’s happened to me since 5:15 PM on July the 14. Suffice it to say Hawaii was a great trip, and school is not the most fun thing.
Here’s the real meat, though. I went outside today to go to church, and found something incredible: the Perfect Weather!!! I kid you not (tangent: who is you? as far as I know I’m the only one who reads this) the temperature was neither hot nor cold, just perfectly cool, the sun was shining brightly and perfectly, and the air was crisp but not humid. A gentle breeze kept it all together. If I could find a place in this world that had this weather 364 days a year (why not 365? because nothing’s perfect, that’s why), I would move there tomorrow. Wherever it was, it would be so incredibly worth it. But I have my doubts.
Thing about going to church today was this: Jenn didn’t come. She’s back in Longivew, doing bridal portraits and other assorted stuff. Now, it’s not that I’m physically tied to her. I am quite capable of going to church without her. It’s just that, while there, everyone asked me but two things: “Where’s Jennifer?” and “How are the wedding plans coming?” Imagine. I mean, really. Yes, I love the girl, and yes, she is normally with me. But it was as if people couldn’t fathom the concept that we two might actually do something apart. The wedding plans question really kills me, though. Everyone asks me that every week. I DON’T KNOW. I’m not doing much of anything for the wedding, really. My role is quite minimal. I keep replying that plans are going well, etc., but what I really want to say is, “If I have any problems, I”ll be sure to email you and keep you updated. In the meantime, STOP ASKING.” But I think that might be taken as a little bit rude or overboard or something by my friends at church.
My plans for this afternoon are simple, but twofold. First, clean out the closet. It’s full of crap that doesn’t need to be in there, and it’s getting crowded. Second, sleep. Sleep like I’ve never slept before. Brady (from McAlister’s) and Crystal (his girlfriend) came over last night, and we watched Shawshank Redemption. It’s a great movie, I loved watching it despite the fact Brady and I had watched it just the night before. It did, however, keep me up until 3:00 AM. I don’t sleep much anymore, and I think that’s a bad trend. I should fix that. Better go clean out the closet now so I can.
