Girls

I just don't understand them sometimes. And I AM one. Go figure. Why aren't they happy with a man who treats them right?? And who is nice, smart, funny, has a good family and nice friends...?? Why don't they want to keep him?? Help me understand.

Happy (half) birthday to me!

Today I turn 29 1/2. That means only 6 months left in my 20s..... but I have a feeling that my 30s will be amazing. :)

"Special delivery"

No, not a baby. hahaha Well actually, close.

I was reading the Smithsonian's website and found this fascinating: little kids used to be SHIPPED in the mail back near the year 1900. Yes, shipped in the mail.

"Through snow, rain, gloom of night and...diapers?"

"This anonymous c. 1900 photograph from the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum spoofs the idea of sending a youngster through the mail, but the scenario wasn't that far-fetched. In 1914, a 2-year-old boy was sent via Parcel Post from Oklahoma to Kansas (postage paid: 18 cents), and the service delivered at least two other children before it officially barred the mailing of human beings later that year."

NIT HERE I COME!

Guess who is boycotting the NCAA tournament? Me. Guess why? Syracuse did not make it. So, I have absolutely no interest in the tournament, any games played, the Final Four, the championship, or anything.

Instead, I will be watching intently for SU and also FSU to make it far into the NIT later rounds. Go 'Cuse and 'Noles!!

My play

I was at a conference this week, and the guest speaker was talking about a lot of different things, including how important people are in your life. He was saying that life is one big play, and that people audition to get a role and be in your life. I liked that. I started to think of how people have come and gone in my life, and if they are gone, I guess they didn't win the role. I can think of so many people that would be in the running for the Academy Award for best actor, actress, supporting actor and actress in my life. Best picture? Hum. There are a lot of events/contenders for that too. Best screenplay? Best musical score? Best costume? Best director? Producer? Foreign film? (Now THAT would be a good one). Animation? Maybe I should write some of this in my storybook. :)
