Hard to argue with that right? Here is a list. I am famous for them. Well.... sort of I like them. Probably it's annoying but no one has been so rude or exasperated to have declared them so to my face (or even loudly behind my back) and so I carry on...
1. I found a grey hair this weekend. It is my first. It has been my first for quite a while now considering its length. I first tried to deny it by declaring it a blonde highlight. After removal and closer examination I immediately tried to upsell by declaring it to by a snowy and distinguished white. I am still clinging to that and have disposed of the evidence so you all will have to just let me live the fantasy a bit longer until it grows in again.
2. The voice. I like it, alot. It seems better than idol in many ways. Mostly in the way where I don't have to listen to alot of bad singing. However I don't like Christina. Mostly I fear that any moment her frighteningly large and round-like-melons mammary glands will escape their flimsy bindings and I will be scarred for life. Maybe I am just jealous. I am very found of Cee Lo however and oddly enough Blake.
3. I am downsizing again. Unlike most people our "starter" house was good sized and we "downsized" when we first added to our family. Now we are downsizing again as we will most likely be living in an apartment or condo in MA. ( Which by the way sounds alot like MEH to me - maybe just my mood?) So faced with storage and moving costs I am endeavouring to fit all my necessities into a 26' U-Haul. Biggest challenge? The fabric stash. I can't part with any fabric larger than 3 x 3 inches square. It is a problem, I know. SO today I got rid of it..... ALL. If it wasn't part of a quilt or a soon to be finished project. If it didn't have a finite purpose - It got trashed or donated.
Part of me? Elated. I feel so free without all those pressing whiney little bits clamoring for a use, a home. Part of me? Devestated. All those possibilites, all those maybes and last minute what can I make with this - also gone.
I guess that sums up how I feel about this whole moving thing. An intoxicating mix of elation and devestation. I look forward to thinking I am bored again one day.
i love you
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat the gray hair. I found my first one when I was 27. I almost puked, but then I remembered that God had invented hair dye for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI totally relate with the mix of emotion. A good friend of mine shared an analogy that helped me out, and it involved teeter totters. Ups and downs are natural and normal, and ultimately? They BOTH are what makes the ride so fun.
And HOLY COW!! I am in awe that you parted with your stash!!!! Props to you, friend. Just concentrate on all the fun new stuff yet to be discovered in Boston quilt stores. They BETTER have some Paul Revere prints, yo!
