I had this dream last night where I was at this guy's house, and he had a river in his backyard made out of Manhattan clam chowder. It was a serious river; there was a waterfall of clam chowder, too. He was trying to convince me to jump in it with him, and my response to that was, "I'm sorry, but I have a strict rule about not swimming in tomato-based soups." He understood.
Remember that beach I talked about on Thursday? I went back today, and since it's like monsoon season here, I should have foreseen this:
Cloudy doesn't even begin to cover it. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture the effect of the hurricane-like wind, torrential rain, steel-drum thunder, and lightning that cracks through the smoke-gray clouds in pictures. These pictures that I did get are from the parking lot; I wasn't about to whip out my metal camera on the beach in a lightning storm. It would have looked so cool, though.
My friend and I decided to run a marathon of Disney movies yesterday/today. I love Aladdin, he's amazing. We watched The Aristocats, and I had forgotten how adorable that movie is. I used to love it when I was little--my favorite sweatshirt had Marie on it--but watching it again and understanding the plot more, it's soo cute.
Isn't that adorable? I love Toulouse (the one with the paint). I'm so excited to share these classic Disney movies with my daughter one day. I spend way too much time thinking about the kids I don't have, but being a "mommy" is the one thing I know I want for sure. I remember this conversation I had at lunch in second grade. I was talking about how I wanted to have kids, and all my friends were saying I was crazy, giving birth hurts too much. I remember saying I'd have an elective C-section if I couldn't take it. Looking back on it, it seems like an unusual conversation for a group of 7-year-olds.
Still no sign of mail. Coming home from the beach today, I thought I saw a box by the front door. I'm having hallucinations in the form of cardboard boxes. See what you've put me through, Borders?
Wow glad I missed that storm, unfortunately I got rained on like that in the middle of Universal...
ReplyDeleteDon't think it's just you who spends her time thinking about the children you don't have.
I think about my future kids all the time and I also want an elective cesarean lol. I think about my future life all the time, even things like going to bed can trigger something like that. I think it just means that you're mature and want something really badly.
Well, thanks. It's good to know my thoughts are justified. =] It rained one time I went to Universal, too. Walking around in the rain might actually be nice break from the heat there.
