looks like impending rain... i wish it would just rain already. it's friday today and it's been one of those weeks. the kind where each day you wake up and ask yourself, what do i do for a living again? i mean seriously i can't have that many complaints right? and yet i can manage to complain for hours on end. it's a personal talent that i've cultivated to an art over the past 22 yrs. speaking of yrs. i'll be 23 soon. now that's freaky. i mean 21 was surreal, and 22 was just uneventful, but 23... that's half way between 20 and 25. i can't even begin to think of life at 25. most people >= 25 yrs. have started thinking about marriage and kids... not that i haven't. i mean yesterday i was online looking at engagement rings. (No i'm no where near that stage of my life, but after all these wedding things, i was just curious).
that brings me to another subject... engagement ring cost == 3 months salary?! seriously people i don't want to be wearing the cost of a car on my finger! that could be really dangerous. but does that mean i should feel bad if someone doesn't spend 3 months salary? at any rate, i've convinced myself that after a certain age if i have no engagement ring, i'm buying one myself. i mean seriously, why do i have to wait for some guy to give me one? if i want one can't i just get it myself? maybe i'll have some pitiful attempt like coax one of my guy friends to go to the store and get it for me, just so i can have the illusion :). yes i know i'm nuts. these things do seriously go through my mind...
i read michelle's blog yesterday about the sweater. i totally do the same things, maybe it's something to do w/ growing up in a place called Sugar Land. i haven't quite figured out if that's why i have issues these days... but i am obsessed with shopping though i don't do it in the same way most girls do. one habit i have picked up from michelle though is relating how i look in different outfits to vegetables, for example, one day in college michelle put on this shirt and said "i look like a mushroom in this shirt." and the other day i caught myself saying "i look like a squat mushroom in these shoes." amazing what i remember these days. i think i'm going senile.
