A Mind in Far Off Places

11 extra people in my home is a lot. It is nearly two times as many as normal- unless you count what the normal has been the past 8 months while I was away at school, than it would be more than two times the usual number. But in over 30 degree weather, it is definitely not your most prominent desire.

On top of the weather issue there are extreme amounts of mosquitoes infringing upon our canasta games and cake eating! The nerve of them! Thankfully my uncle and father are skilled in the art of insect elimination! Though we are certain that they did not all enter our home through the momentarily opened doors- they must have discovered an alternative route! Not only were the numbers severe, but they were constant!


In two months and 12 days I will no longer be the girl who has never attended a concert! Instead I will be the girl who, in the past two months had attended two concerts!!!!!
Yippee!


Conversations about proposing and life as a married person really makes you reflect, both on your present situation and future ones. I have a friend, only a year older then me, who will be getting married in less then two weeks! At this news my own thoughts wander to the possibility of that being me, and I speculate on whether I am mature enough to be in the same circumstances . . . A big "NO" sign seems to flash in my mind. Not a surprise I suppose.


And for all those other toothbrush lovers out there- have you ever tried the toothbrushes with the rubber Brussels!? If not I HIGHLY recommend them. They bring a whole new meaning to "squeaky clean"!
