Today I accidentally bought 3 albums off iTunes. I sure love me some new music every now and then.
I like this song. It makes me think of Curtis and the crush I still have on him.
I would consider myself a romantic. I love being in love. It's the best thing in life.
I have this silly desire lately to move to North or South Carolina. I've never even been there, but it just seems like a nice place. Ever since I got this inkling, I have randomly heard or read things involving these 2 states. For example, the other day, someone called the radio station from North Carolina and was talking about how beautiful it was there. Then last night, I was reading an article in a magazine that mentioned the state. It's kinda weird. To further my desire to move there, my blog friend Mrs. Davis is always posting the most beautiful pictures of the Carolinas. Maybe one day Curtis and I will at least vacation there.
I want to pierce my nose. I think if I was younger, I might actually do it. I just think that I may be too old for such a thing...I am nearing my 30s you know.
I've come to realize that I am really good at setting goals, but horrible at accomplishing them.
I've never seen an episode of LOST. I'm trying to decide if it is something I want to get into or not. Will I really be missing out on anything if I don't add the seasons to my Netflix queue?
Today during lunch, Curtis and I drove through the park and saw two little baby buffalo. They were oh so cute. Of course, the one day we get to see the babies, I don't have my camera.
It makes me sad to hear about how some people judge others so harshly. Maybe it makes me more frustrated than sad. Who cares if we all don't have the same beliefs? Can't we all just get along and love and support one another no matter what?
Sometimes Curtis and I dream about quitting our jobs, loading up our belongings in a VW bus and hitting the road. I would love to be a hippie for a year and travel from city to city...maybe stopping for a few weeks to work at some quaint little cafe to earn extra spending money before moving on to our next destination. Oh, to have no cares...sounds nice.
I'm trying to decide if we would use our treadmill more if we moved it from the back bedroom to our downstairs family room. I hate running while staring at the blank wall. I would much rather watch TV while doing so. But then I'm worried we still won't use it and then I will hate it being in the family room. Any advice on this?
Sometimes I wonder if I should go to nursing school. I really don't want to do more school nor do I want anymore student loans...but I would like to do something good in this world...and being a nurse seems like a good thing to be. Why didn't I decide on this 9 years ago when I started college?
Have any of you ever seen the movie, Dick? It is actually quite funny...one of my favorites.
Sometimes I tell Curtis that I wrote a really embarrassing story about him on my blog. It makes him nervous for a few minutes. It's pretty funny. I would never do such a thing. :-)
Sometimes I feel stupid. I really don't know much about A LOT of things. I think maybe I should take one topic a week and learn as much as I can about it. Any topic at all...history stuff...things going on in the world...political stuff...religious stuff...etc. That way, when I'm having a conversation with a really smart person (ahem, any one of my in-laws), I won't have to just sit there and nod my head acting like I even have a clue as to what they are talking about.
One of my most favorite things as well as my most hated thing (a paradox if you will), is laughing uncontrollably at inappropriate times. It's SO funny, yet at the same time, SO NOT funny because you need to stop laughing but you can't. This happened to me this week. It made for an awkward few minutes.
That's all for now folks.
Happy Friday.
Oh goodness, when you do a post like this, it makes me give a long, random response! :-P
ReplyDeletea) Being in love IS the best thing in life. I think it will probably be the most satisfying and fulfilling experience I have in this life.
2) The Carolinas ARE beautiful, but I am hardly an unbiased observer. I have been quite a few places and I still swear there are only a couple of places I would live. One is Charlotte, where I live now, and the other is Charleston. You guys should absolutely go ahead and book a trip to Charleston. You won't regret it, ever!
3) Go ahead and put LOST in your queue....it's a mistake NOT to watch it. I put it in my Netflix queue years ago and it couldn't get here fast enough so I just bought the seasons on iTunes to fuel my addiction. PLEASE let me know how you like it!
4) Tiny buffalo, say whaaaaa????? You like see them out in the wild? That makes all the deer I see seem sooooo lame.
5) I had that "I feel stupid" thing happening a lot when I met my husband years ago. Thanks to Wikipedia, I no longer feel this way, and I highly recommend it. While he can trump my photography knowledge seven days a week, he can never trump my useless or random knowledge. LOL! Oh and, the first thing I did research on was all the major religions. Changed my life!
6) I loved this the most out of anyone you've ever posted, and you remind me of my college roommate so much it's not even funny. :-)
And I would say I got so lost watching "Lost". We watched the first few seasons and then it just got so confusing. Maybe if you had all the seasons together and didn't miss an eposide it wouldn't be as bad.
ReplyDeleteI did my state report in 5th grade on South Carolina..I have always wanted to go there, maybe we should go together :)
It would be so nice to have no cars in the world...and to just travel all day. We have always thought that it would be nice to live in the carribean or Hawaii and do the same thing...but alas...that stupid thing called responsibility calls our names.
ReplyDeleteYes, go to North Carolina. Yes, watch LOST.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you guys! I was just reminiscing about our law school days today with Jason's cousin, whose husband is about to start at Penn State. Aren't you glad it's over?
Jenny, I love you!! Sounds like you had a great trip down to see the family (?). I think you should go to nursing school, if they have one where you are. If I hadn't gone into music, I would have loved to have been a nurse. If you guys go traveling, I wish you'd invite us along. We're always thinking how much fun a trip with you two would be.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking the same thing about Lost... I have never watched an episode either but have heard rave reviews...
ReplyDeleteI have also been thinking about the nursing too.
I loved this post from you Jen!
I went to North Carolina once...drove there with my friends from VA. We stayed in a KOA campsite somewhere, slept in a big tent and went to the beach a lot and ate at a crab restaurant called "Dirty Dick's". I LOVED the whole trip! Definitely go. I love how all the beach houses are on stilts.
ReplyDeleteMove your treadmill. It'll probably be more tempting!
And I want to know what the funny thing was where you weren't supposed to laugh!?
I worked with someone once who lived in a VW bus on the Oregon coast for five years. With her husband. Eventually it got old and they bought a house.
ReplyDeleteAnd just for the record, I think someone who sits silently listening is much more intelligent than someone who has to argue and debate and say anything that crosses their mind aloud. I think you're great, Jen.
Jen I LOVE your Blogs!!!
ReplyDeleteYou bring me hope, happiness and joy like no other!
Thank you for sharing You!
