Thoughts

Ok so a bunch of random things today. I guess it wouldn't be same RANDOM person if I didn't do this every once in a while.

It's been so hot and muggy out these past few days. I told my best friend Megan that halfway from the parking garage to my office building I wanted to give up and lay down on the sidewalk. This kind of heat just zaps all the energy I have out of me. It's fine for days when all you have to put on is a bathing suit, lay out, and take a dip in the pool when the heat gets too unbearable. (I would do that this Saturday, but it's calling for rain...booooo) The even bigger issue is how to dress for this weather. While I want to be wearing close to nothing, sadly my office frowns upon that. And really I don't like to be looked at anyways, so I try to avoid inappropriate wear at all costs. What's worse is that the air conditioner in the building is on freezing-oh you're nipples are hard-should I turn it down- but I won't setting. I have to dress for the heat and yet bring something to keep me from dying of frost bite inside. It's not that complicated since I am the Cardigan Queen but still the fact that I have to think about that at 7:30 in the morning irks me.

Maybe it's being off Facebook and having free time, maybe it's wanting more out of conversations, maybe it's a lot of things but I'm paying closer attention to the news, following stories (can you say McChrystal out Patreaus in?) and expanding my depth of reading. I'm still all about the mindless pool-side novels but right now I'm delving into C.S. Lewis' works. Currently I'm ready Mere Christianity, and though I just started it I think I'm going to get a lot out of it. Next month my roommate has set up a book club which I'm really excited to participate in. The first book has already been established but I'm hoping I can throw in a C.S. Lewis book into the rotation. I'd love to get others thoughts and ideas about the same piece I'm reading.

I'm also questioning my blog. I was looking at some personal blogs the other day and the thought that crossed my mind was "who cares?" Terrible I know, but it seems that every family has a blog about how little Sally walked today. Other than the family members and friends that care about the Joe Schmo familes daily eating habits or whatever it is they're blogging about, no one that doesn't know them cares. And that can be said about me and my blog. Yes, it's a great outlet for me, but this is probably my over sharing part of my personality that is putting it online for anyone to read. Maybe I should just journal again. No ones honestly looks forward to the dribble I write on here. The people that do read it already know when I go to the beach to see my sister and have probably talked to me on the phone while I'm there having fun. This really does seem pointless. Although it's a fun and creative outlet, and when else in my daily life do I get to write? Ok Ok call me Brett Farve but like him I do waffle back and forth. Luckily for you today is the day I'm sticking with blogging...who knows what tomorrow will bring though.
