I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it. Garrison Keillor
Amen! :)
I'm listening to the Broadway 'The Lion King' soundtrack. I heard it in Krista's office and remembered that I like listening to it. I remember going to see it in Toronto with my mom way back in the day when life was normal. It was a great night, one of the best performances I've seen on the stage and I've seen a few. In fact I kind of miss going to those sorts of things.
So I have another story niggling at the back of my mind. *sidenote* How does one niggle? Does it tickle or is it painful? I should check that out...anyway. I have this story that is not really like the ones I've been writing lately yet it is...I'm still working out the details. I'm trying to keep it simple, minimal characters and one location. It sounds good in my head and I've let Krista in on it and she gets it...however she usually gets the stories I think about cause we share a brain. I digress...
As soon as I have a premise of some kind I'll be sure to let you know. That is if you are at all interested. I'm trying to take a new twist on the 'boy meets girl' thing. I mean it's classic, a lot of people like to read about couples falling in love, I'm just hoping not to fall into the trap of the giggly girl falling for the mysterious guy. Or the damsel in distress falling for a guy who saves her while she ends up showing him who he really is. Those are cute stories but cliche...I want to shy away...whether I can accomplish this feat is another thing entirely so wish me luck.

Right so I just finished helping my mom order some books for my dad. read: I ordered the books she gave me the MC number. Anyway as I'm doing this I take her MC number down and say 'I'm just going to read this back to you to make sure I got it correctly' and had a flashback to working at Signpost. LoL Cause throughout the day when I'd work there I would take orders for CD's or tickets and I'd always say that...it was bizarre, complete deja vu.
And my feet hurt in these boots...I need to get new black heeled boots, these ones are starting to wear...I know that was wildly out of context but there you have it.
I should go find some plane ticket info for when Jonathan and I go visit my dad at Easter. I'm just so busy! :)

I think "niggling" involves a four year old child poking you repeatedly in the stomach while you're trying to read until you totally lose it and banish said child to her room just to get her out of your hair until you can finish the chapter...
Oh wait, that's not called niggling, that's called our special little three o'clock ritual!
By the way, your wedding ring is totally gorgeous... you keep making this whole marriage thing sound more and more appealing!!
