Random thoughts crossing my mind

[ringsandcoffee]

I like my feet. I may not love most of the rest of my body, but I think my feet are attractive. Size 9, right now my toenails are painted for the first time since May '08, and there's just nothing gross about them in general.

I want a brownie or chocolate cake.

I could drink 3-4 Peet's iced lattes a day. Seriously yummy.

Tomorrow my dad and I are going to San Francisco. It's a chance for me to spend time with him, and I miss seeing the ocean. The only definite plan so far is going to the Golden Gate Bridge. I also need to call Alison and see if we can drop by or have lunch or dinner. Short notice, but I'm just not really into seeing everyone I know on this trip.

Speaking of seeing people, I saw my brother and sister-in-law without thinking I was going to. They were over when my mom and I got back from the airport, then we had a Father's Day bbq here. My brother is a step-grandpa, so he got to celebrate too.

Lucky the dog is cute, even if he does poop in the house. He will crawl under the covers with you if you let him. He'll stare at you with this sad face till you throw his ball, but he doesn't bring it back to you. He chases it, plays with it, then comes and sits near you and just looks at you, waiting.

So many things in my life I wish were different, yet those that are in my control I'm often too lazy to change.

I still hope I won't have to teach a 4/5 combo class next school year. Ha, school starts again on July 27th, so it seems absurd to say next year.

Tahoe on Thursday! Yay!

I bought a new dress at H&M today. Maybe I'll post a picture of it, once I take one. I also bought 2 more v-neck shirts on sale at Gap. Now I have 5 different colors. Silly me.

I also like my hair, even if it's flat because of the different water/climate/whatever. I like the color too. Oh, and my hair is way cuter than Kate Gosselin's. Ok, it's just less weird, since I don't have the spiky deal in the back.

I watched maybe my 3rd episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8 tonight. I can only watch when I'm at a place with cable, plus the whole "big announcement" we all predicted. I must admit, the kids are adorable, and the show is addicting aside from the whole marital issues. I find the breakup sad, and yet I sat there, analyzing with my mom what went wrong. What went wrong, I don't know, but I agree with what joyfulmelody brought up - what about marriage vows? For better or worse, till death do us part? I don't believe the tabloids, and I wish them the best in this next, very difficult chapter of their lives.

I want to get married.

I love my feet, want to get married and now need cake and iced coffee just immediately.

I do not, however, want to televise my marriage. That's just bad news. Living with another person without killing them is hard enough without the whole world watching. Oh, Jon and Kate. Too bad the ones who really lose out here are the kids.

I agree about the kids. They kept saying they do everything for the kids, but they do nothing for each other. That's what the kids really need.

I have no cake, but have a fresh baked snickerdoodle! I have iced coffee too, actually.

The Jon and Kate thing makes me sad, for all of them.

Yay for San Francisco, and the ocean! I miss it.

I think J&K were doomed from the beginning. Type A personality with a passive one...it can work but only when there is communication, good communication and respect. Two things that are severely lacking in that relationship.

Their move towards divorce makes me think that there is more truth in those tabloid reports than not. Whether it was physical cheating or emotional cheating, they just can't seem to get past it. There is a lot of resentment and anger on both their parts.

I see a lot of myself in Kate and a lot of Matt in Jon. Similar relationship. I suspect that if we had 8 kids, 6 5 year olds instead of just 1 we would be in the same boat as they are. Regardless of the tv show.

All of it is just sad. One hopes that counseling and some type of therapy could help them get through this tough part in their lives but it just doesn't seem like it is going to happen.

I feel for those kids. Being that little and going through divorce is life changing, can be traumatizing. :/

San Fransisco sounds really nice. I hope to visit some day.

July? Hoooly crap. That seems so early.

Jon and Kate was cute when it was about actually dealing with the hardships of raising all those kids. :(
