Right here, right now

October 24th, 2008

I am contemplating vacuuming.
I am avoiding my work.
I am listening to the dryer tumbling our clothes.
I am in my yellow office.
I am surrounded by catalog layout sheets.
I am sporting curly hair today.
I am sporting curly hair most days now.
I am wearing my new boots.
I am in love with my new boots.
I am planning to ask my new boots to go steady. At least for the winter.
I am wondering what it takes to write a book.
I am looking forward to a relaxing, low-key weekend.
I am thinking about stuff we need from the grocery store.
I am wondering who we need to buy Christmas presents for.
I am tired of negative political rumors and e-mails.
I am recovered from my bee/wasp/hornet sting, although I still have a scar.
I am thinking about my little brothers and how they are all grown up now with grownup lives.
I am smiling about Max in his Indiana Jones costume.
I am excited to show Ryan a funny clip from TV last night.
I am amazed at how equally dumb and wise I was in my twenties.
I am thankful for the beauty of nature.
I am embarrassed that it took me so long to see it.
I am tired of finding the toilet not flushed.
I am refreshed from my workout this morning.
I am wondering what to eat.
I am thankful for phones.
I am disappointed in myself sometimes.
I am hungry for lunch.
I am going to do something about that.

What about you? What are you doing right now?

    and I want new boots . . . although I haven’t been able to bring myself to wear socks yet (other than to the gym).

    I am glad that I found your blog.
    I am happy that I got to know you and Ryan so many years ago (because you are both a bit intimidating now-a-days!)

    I need new boots too. I think I’ve finally narrowed it down. I just need to get up the courage to pay for them.

    I am supposed to be starting dinner, I have to go to work in an hour and a half. I am trapped in blog land instead :)

    I’m sitting in my room.
    Looking at so many unpacked boxes and piles of unfolded laundry.
    Tasting the after taste of yummy Indian Food (aka bad breath).
    Not excited to try and figure out clothes for our upcoming family pictures or how I should cut my hair.
    Wishing I had new boots too!

    I love this random posts. So interesting. Although,I really don’t think that you should be disappointed in yourself ever, you’re the coolest.

    I have a quote from author Augusten Burroughs:
    “The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.”

    There you go.
