1 - 2 - 3

I've heard some interesting things recently. And done some interesting things. Nothing that would be noteworthy to someone like you, of course. Small, personal decisions that don't involve you and wouldn't interest you. But they interest me. And since the blog is "defining" me, I think it would be okay to mention them as they stream through my consciousness.

1. MckMama had her baby yesterday, and she named him Lachlan. What a great name. He joins older brothers Kieran, Cullen, & Stellan (all totally awesome names, as well) and his older sister Maisie (not my favorite, but still cute). Five kids!? Five, five and under at that. It just makes me think, did she ever think that it would end up like that. Stellan and Lachlan were surprises.

Can we live through something we could never predict. Obviously we can, look at her! Obviously, look at all of us. There's no way you could know exactly what's going to happen tomorrow. Well, I do actually. I'm going to go to work and mop up dog urine and continue exercising amongst a throng of four legged furballs who think it's okay to lay underneath me when I'm doing push ups. That was totally not the point of what I'm trying to say.

Not to be too forward, but you could die tomorrow. Sorry! Gah, sorry, I had to say it. I just feel like we're all taking some things for granted. Never, ever leave things left unsaid. That's what I'm learning. And finally, over one of the longest phone conversations ever, I was able to realize it. Stream of consciousness here, people. I'm not trying to be deep. What-I'm-Saying-Is: you don't know what you're going to be doing 5, or 10, or 50 years from now. What if I turn into a crazy cat lady? What if I conquer my deepest fear and travel into outer space (not likely). The what-ifs are heavy on my mind tonight.


2. You know when you turn on the radio, and it's the very beginning of a song? I love that.


3. I've figured out I sleep better with white noise.
