So we are fully into 2012. I believe in my heart and my gut that it is going to be a good year. I’m working on letting my instinct lead me more (you know, actually pay attention to it when it speaks to you instead of ignoring it to listen to your brain.) My gut sees good ahead.
Beau is asleep on our floor right now, making funny little mewling noises. I wonder what he is dreaming about. If I had to guess it would be trying to swim after mermaids.
I wish you all could see my closet. I’ve stuck to my mid-week laundry resolution…It’s Friday night and the hampers are void of laundry and all is folded and put away. Yay me!
I just came to the realization that we should have gone to the movies more before we became parents.
The late night freight train is rolling by as I type. I love it; the rumble of the engine on the tracks, the chugging that lulls, the horns that fade in the distance. With all the technology at our fingertips, when I can chat with a friend states away over invisible lines, it is the sound of train that grounds me.
License plates this week: LRN2LOL – laughing out loud is good. And XXXXXXX – No joke.
I can’t believe I’m thinking this, but I want to feel some Iowa humidity right now.
Need. To. Run.
Green lights and rainbows make my morning.
What does not make my morning is the car registration fee. Not at all.
Barney has made a reappearance at our house. It’s killing me. Another thing that kills me a little bit is that Beau sings “Red Solo Cup.” Though catchy, I’m pretty sure it’s age inappropriate.
Happy Weekend!

I know what you mean about the sound of the train. It is so full of possibilities. Way to go on keeping up with the laundry. I try to just do it one day a week when it needs it. It is going to be a good year. I feel it too. So sorry to hear about Barney. Hopefully soon he will be gone for good. Enjoy your laundry-free weekend!

have i mentioned how much i love reading your ramblings? I could read and read them. The sound of a freight train rumbling by is not something that has ever been a part of my life. Imagining it is crazy fun.

Is there really a rainbow in the background of that beautiful photo with sky and lights? Man, I think I might need to ask for a copy of that one…

Loving the train description… I feel the same when I hear one off in the distance. I laughed over Beau singing the Red Solo Cup song. 🙂

It’s gonna be a very good year! I just realized that I don’t hear any trains where I live now…I kinda of miss it. I think the trains are muted by the freeway in between me and them. Oh Barney…isn’t it weird to watch the ones with a new voice? Kinda freaks me out a bit.
