So Today...

So today we went out in to the blustery snow to our first Christmas Party of the season in Stark for my Mom's side of the family gathering. I R-E-A-L-L-Y did not want to go out today. I NEEDED to get out, but I did not want to go out in this weather! When I first woke up I was in such a great mood. When the snow falls so softly and beautifully like it was, it usally does that to me! I don't know why! I think I just grew up with so many great memories of building snow forts and shoveling, skiing, winter walks, football in knee deep snow...whatever the reason, it makes me happy.

And then I thought, but I don't want to go out in it today with the kids! To make a long story short. We went. I was crabby. And then I snapped out of it. There.

I still feel unsettled about something, I'm not sure what. To snap myself out of it earlier today, ok, (don't tell anyone), but I went on to youtube and watched some hip hop videos of songs I haven't listened to in a while since I have been on such a christian music kick. I watched Gold digger by Kanye West, Justin Timerlake's Sexy Back, Justin Timberlake/Nelly Furtado/Timbaland's Give it to me, and then, to clear my head I watched Barlow Girl's I'm Never Alone and Rascall Flatt's Broken Road.
Oh, and I danced to the first three with the office door shut. Don't worry, the 3 kids were sleeping and Tom was off plowing, so I was safe. Oh yeah, don't tell anyone!

I feel though that since I've been on my kick again about only thinking positively, that I have a harder time following through. The first few days of it always go well, and then, I hit a rut. I feel like I have to give myself more "timeouts" and time to refocus than usual. But, you gotta do what you gotta do, and if that means locking myself in the office to listen to some good beats, well.....

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
