A Girl...

that is what i've been secretly wishing for too...i want fall to get here so that i'll be all settled into my new home and i'll be able to light that first fire in my gas/wood burning fireplace...*sigh*

i sure hope it gets down to at least 40 around octoberish...there have been times here in east texas where we have worn shorts xmas day. *sigh*

That pesky grass. It never goes away. Now that I'm contemplating the baby thing in the relatively near future, I am pining for the days of unfettered sleeping in after long nights of mojito drinking. Well, fine, I can still do that. But when I can't? I will be begging you (BEGGING YOU) to take my kid.

Sold! For one night of sleep and two mojitos!

(See what we do to ourselves? GO AWAY, GRASS!)

So you're the reason I'm freezing my butt off today (of course just days after we had our heater pilot light turned off for the summer, too)? Thanks a lot.

Just kidding. In all seriousness though I totally agree that life is not best lived wishing for a different present than what you have. Working for a different future than your present--that does make sense though (if what I said made any sense).

p.s. Please consider secretly wishing for warm sunshine and swimming weather. Thank you.

Jealous of Nicole Richie, hoo boy. It is time for more booze in your life.

I have a sudden urge to go home and blast the A/C so we can snuggle up on the couch with a pile of blankets... Except we have no fireplace, dangit, so the effect is just not the same. Anyway, think of us sweating our ever-loving tuchuses (tuchi?) off here in the Northeast as you light your fire. See, there? Your grass is plenty green.

M--That's exactly it: I really really want to work toward my desired future, but alas, when it comes to weather and babies, I can't really do that without a little cooperation from the powers that be. So frustrating!

I was saying the exact same thing on the way to work this morning. We're in the last month of winter and it hasn't been wet and miserable enough for my liking. Another sunny winters day...where is the rain and the sleet and the grey?? I want to wrap myself up in a blanket and read by the window dammit!

Bundling up in August? Unheard of. We're lucky to be wearing coats in December. I envy the ability to have and use a fireplace. They might get used once or twice around here. Ah, Central Texas, how I love thee!
(And jealous of Nicole Richie? Chocolate stat!)

We're not even quite moved into the new house yet...

Not hounding, just emoting.

Isn't it funny how by summers end we are craving for woolly jerseys, mashed potato and snuggling up in front of the fire yet by mid winter we can't wait for some heat to be able to strip off and swim in some cool water. The grass is always greener.

I truly understand. I do. Everyone thinks I'm nuts for wanting a kiddo so soon after my wedding, but I can't fight the feeling. I want one. That may be the first time I've said it out loud to someone other than my husband.

it's the hottest day of the year here in atlanta, and i spent most of it blasting the AC, and circling parking lots for the closest spot because DEAR JESUS MY FACE IS MELTING even just walking into the grocery store.

i cast my vote for more booze, less (nicole richie) babies.

eat a s'more for me.

All I can say is that I love you darling, and I am also willing to wager the fifty bucks that says your grass in greener. Glum, Glumer, Glummy.

God, I would LOVE one or two days where we could actually bust out the scarves, gross lighting and all. It's been about 100 here in Atlanta for the last few days and I am dying. That's what I blame my particular brand of exhaustion on -- the heat -- but it could also just be summer blues.

also, wow, I totally understand the omg baby thing. and why does Nicole Richie get one? I'm not even in a relationship that merits baby talk but I wantttt oneeeee. my preshussss.

Jealous of Nicole Richie?

I can't let this pass without commenting. You realize how crazy that sounds, I'm sure you're just kidding. You have a very good thing going on and a great life with plenty of baby years ahead of you so don't be jealous of an empty soul who got knocked up and will probably name her kid Fruit Salad. Go get drunk and watch TV.

Oh, it's horrible here. Far too dismal to get out of bed and EXERCISE! Cold is for wearing wool and flannel jammies and eating cheese. But in August? What the hell?

Between you and Holly, I might end up moving my little trip to like October instead of September. I want to picnic in short shorts (Ok, that might frighten little children) on the beach, too!

Oh and trust me, my dear, my grass is dead and brown. I think the gloomies are going around. Cheer up, friend.

I understand completely. For some reason once the fall clothes start appearing in catalogs I start to crave wooly sweaters. It's unbelievably hot and humid here today though so the idea of a crisp fall day seems so far off. Oh and I can't wait to use our new fireplace too!

Awww, you always have my blog to go to when you want to feel good about your life again. :-)

And I've got clouds, too!

If it makes you feel at all better it is NEVER rainy, cloudy, cold or ANY effing thing but sunny happy blue sky all the way down here.

I wish the light would dim just a bit so maybe I could get a full nights sleep.

I think I just got one notch closer to complete heatstroke just reading this post!

Ah, but in Texas it is typcially still hot in October so we will be in the back yard sunning naked, running through yard sprinklers and making s'mores on the patio.

Then again, we're usually suffering from floglution, that hazy illness-inducing haze on all horizons.
