Things I've been thinking about,

with no particular order or reason to them:
  • I've always wished for dark brown hair. Not that I don't like mine, I've just always thought it seems so much more luxurious.
  • I'm trying to be mad about the snow we've been getting, but I just can't anymore. I'm apathetic.
  • The color aqua is my new favorite. I painted some shelves for our spare room [well, my husband did for me], and I think they look fantastic. Fantastically [but not too fantastically] loud. I love that.
  • My husband described our future house to me last night. I can say I picked the perfect person for me a million times over. The highlights: the library with sliding ladders, the solarium, his "man-space", our giant master suite, and the garage that's separate but attached to the house with a second-story walkway. Perfect.
  • One of my dreams, I told him, is to get rid of all my junk. Everything. Easier said than done.
  • I ate lunch in the spare room today and thought about what I'd like to do in there. We rearranged things so I have a desk now, and we have to bring in another for him. I'm so excited about this room--I've been planning for days.
  • Besides that, I've been feeling a little unmotivated lately. I'm in a quiet mood. I haven't written much lately... I've been keeping to myself.
  • Every time I think about pulling out my bike, it snows. A lot. I think Mother Nature is punishing me.
  • Sometimes it feels like everything is changing so fast, all the time. I sometimes feel as though I'm standing still and everything around me is spinning dizzyingly fast... and I don't know how to keep up. It's a really odd feeling.
  • I would like some good music to listen to; everything has felt like the same old, same old lately, and the old stuff I used to love just isn't cutting it anymore. It's almost hard for me to listen to it... it's weird. Any suggestions? [Lately, I've enjoyed Adele, Kate Walsh, and The Rocket Summer. A weird mixture for sure, but still...].
  • I feel like I'm changing a lot lately too. As though I'm hesitant to describe myself because I know the things which used to define me don't anymore. It's the weirdest feeling... sort of transitionary. I don't [always] mind it.
I will be back later. Probably.

I want to know what you're thinking about. Do tell.

I am thinking that I have the same views as you on the dark hair. That's why I dye mine!!!

Also, I am thinking that Starbursts are very yummy.

Jaden is too crazy.

Bella has got to stop barfing and pooping liquid. (gross, I know)

I wish everyday I could take a nap while someone cleans my house-like today. It was fabulous.

That's all.. My brain is broken.

Great post. I'm glad I find my way to your blog. It's refreshing in a quiet sweet way... and very well written (as always!!!) I have this image of you and your husband in my head... like characters I could read in a book.

Your last point spoke to me.

Right now I want to yell "enough" to the man who holds my heart.
For now, I will grab take out for the man who wants to hold my heart.

and i'm thinking I need to make a HUGE decision soon... and it's like all the weight of the world is on me.

i'm also thinking...

i've always wanted to be a [natural red head]

;)

having dark brown hair (really dark brown) but not always having it had it this dark, i can honestly say that as much as i like my hair, as much as i look at famous women (jen connelly, rachel weisz, etc) and love their hair; when i see a woman at a party, or on the street and i find her especially attractive (i'm a libra--a notorious lover of woman's beauty) she is almost always a blond. funny, huh. i feel like such a sterotype in that way, but i love blonds. then again, a case can be made for any hair color (oh my gosh, am i still talking about this?!)

on another note--i love the big library with the sliding ladder (remember that scene in Beauty and the Beast when they reveal the library--jaw dropping)

hope all is well!
