i love bangs but m. just cut hers so pride won't let me cut mine until the novelty of hers wears off. couldn't have anyone think i'm unoriginal, could i? ;P
on my mind:- ultra slim hangers have changed my life. or my closet space.
- need to make a pear tart b/t 10pm tonight and 7am tomorrow morning.
- how do i know when i'm overcommitted?
- prison fellowship.
- games this weekend that i'd like to see but won't: houston @ indy; carolina @ n.o.; sd @ nygiants; and tenn @ sf
- why do we get so emotional about a bunch of grown men in tights running after a ball?

can you spot the little bird? he lives in this little nest at the cal academy of science.
now that we're officially halfway through the season, my inner football fan is coming awake. both my bay area guys and my ny guys took a beating this past week. hate to be a fair weather fan but i want to be able to follow a team into the post season. too bad i have no connection with new orleans.
and fine. 30 rock *is* funny.

moses

de young and the beautiful
land's end cave
i also ate way too many sugar cookies, engaged in a 6 hour seminar on business ethics and kingdom living, helped cook dinner for 70 homeless people (one of whom threw his plate of chicken cacciatore across the room), played my guitar for the elderly with dementia and watched the 49ers bow at the feet of peyton manning. thank goodness for daylight savings time.
oh, and can't forget the hard convos i've been having w/ s. sometimes i hate people. :P
meaning: it's wrenching to stay engaged through all the hard bits of a relationship. especially when i am the source of the hard bits. i so badly want to blame my witchy behavior on s. and then find someone new that hasn't yet seen the parts of me that are moldy.
our hard convos have made me appreciate anew the heart of someone who can baldly point out the parts of me that need regeneration while consistently making me feel secure & cherished. no one on earth can do it perfectly but we all can try.
let's.*

*edit - apologies for the reckless use of my pronouns. i meant we all can try to be honest about others' broken bits while making them feel truly loved by us. not that we all should try to make *me* feel loved and secure. though i won't complain either way. ;)

when my married friends ask me what's going on, i usually shrug and say, "the usual." it's funny. every week is jam packed with things but it kind of pales to one's child walking for the first time, or breaking in her first tooth. i love my life as a single person (particularly now that i'm not electronically handcuffed to my job) but i do look forward to saying, "sorry, i can't go out. we're sleep training our baby." :)
