Life falls apart and i build it back up

Sunshine was refreshing. Looking across the country from the top of the mountain is humbling. A small speck in the scheme of thing.....but a significant one nonetheless :). And it was peaceful until a small kid snowplowed into me. But hey, we've all been there.

Im seriously considering purchasing a lizard for days like today when i crave companionship. Jen's I-Pup is cute for the first 5 minutes until you realize that you are talking to a robot. You start petting it, and he whimpers, and you feed it "music", and it dances, and then you accidently push the off switch, and.... I feel like im a vet putting a dog down. I need something that lives off of oxygen instead of double A batteries. Oh well, I am a simpleton. Off to the next best thing....Logic problems. My desire for solving logic problems have officially been quelled since recieving "101 Logic Problems and Puzzles" from my mom for christmas. Laugh all you want, but my brain is high and I like it.

My sister left back to Vancouver. I'm worse at goodbyes than i am at navigating. I either detach myself from the reality of it and don't conjure up a meaningful statement, or I turn into a complete sissy and bawl my eyes out, cheapening the poignancy of the moment. I think I should practice being cooler. But it was fun. Sprinkled cupcakes and all. I can't wait for next years gingerbread home-makeovers and Moonlight sonata interprative dances.

I'm in a weird state of excited exhaustion. Tea or hot chocolate......hot chocolate it is. And just like it says on the tin "it's a warm hug on a cold day".

The easiest thing to do isn't always right, and the right thing isn't always the easiest. As much as certain things cause strain to my heart, there are a million reasons why I am loving life, and I cannot forgot that.
