ok, so yes, i am jealous

blog, blog, what is in a blog??? well, i have this girlfriend who blogs this fabulous little blog and i just love it!!! i am too busy reading her blogs to actually write my own blog i guess. so i am trying to channel her energy into my blog ....... hmmmmmmmm (sitting on floor meditation style) ...... well, let me keep trying! until then let me tell you why i love her blog so much ~ because it is real ~ it is her ~ she is so matter of fact and says it like it is ~ i feel like i am having a conversation with her everytime i read it and then comment. it is like she is naked and she doesn't care who sees her ~ and I LOVE IT!~!!!
unfortunately, if i decide to strip right here, right now, in front of you ~ well, you wouldn't be able to find your off button fast enough!! my nakedness ~ well ~ let's just say ~ i am not very comfortable in the buff. she makes her everyday life sound so "not so ordinary" ~ she finds humor and sanity and insanity and love and passion and sweat and tears and chickens and church and karma and jimmy buffett and conspiracy, well, you name it ~ she makes it all make sense ~ well at least sense to me so maybe that is why i love it and her so much.

i am going to start hanging out more in the buff ~ well, maybe just one little piece at a time ~ but soon it will all be off so watch out ~ keep that off button close!!

let's just start with this ~ i live in this small town in the midwest, i pretty much grew up here and i will have to say that in the thirtysome years that i have lived here it hasn't changed much. if i am blogging thirty years from now i bet it will still be the same town as it is today ~ which to me is very depressing. i tell my husband all the time ~ "i don't mind if you look for a new job somewhere else, another city, another state, far far away", and well, unfortunately he loves it here. ( i believe it is because he did NOT grow up here! ) you see, he is an only child ~ and my whole family lives in my hometown and he LOVES having family around. me, well, let's just say that i love my family too but i am sure i could still love them just as much from a distance! so i keep trying to figure out the best way to live here and not fall into the black hole that i believe it really is. there is something here that just sucks the life out of me ~ but what is worse is that i let it suck the life out of me. so i now try to find the extraordinary in the mundane ~ but sometimes mundane is just that ~ blah!! silver lining ~ i guess that is what they would call it ~ whoever "they" are ~ that is what i will try to find from now on. my girlfriend has definitely found the silver lining and she is having a blast with it. i will keep trying to channel my inner "oxymoron" (which is what she calls herself) in the meantime ~ if there is anyone out there who actually reads this you should follow her blog @ http://thetameone.blogspot.com
have fun getting acquainted with her. and yes, i am jealous because she looks great naked, figuratively speaking!!
