so... i just finished watching julie & julia, and i am reinspired to take steps towards one of my "bucket list" items-- to write a book. i don't yet know what kind of book, fiction or not. but i do know that i like to write. and everytime i think about writing, a compliment from a well respected artistic and intelligent friend rings through my mind and i want to sit and bang on the keyboard.

i am a little tired of the fb format of coming up with short quip-y updates. if you know me at all, you know i need more than a couple sentences, which is probably why i don't tweet. so, my blog, i have returned to spill my thoughts for no one in particular but me and to reinvigorate the creative spirit within.

let the randomness begin....

yesterday i was vacuuming and listening to a song about waiting longingly for true love to take hold, and i thought, "man, to have someone long for you like that and to love you so much." in that same instant, i realized i DO have someone who loves me like that... my trevor. i don't know why i never captured the depth of his love for me. through no fault of his, i think i viewed his heart for me as one bound to duty because that is his personality. he does everything well because there is no other way. but last night, listening to the song and pushing my dirt devil, i realized, as flashes of the last 8 years zoomed through my minds eye, that our love, his heart, our life is so deep and relentless that if he or i were a song writer, we could write a song that would move the hearts and spirits of the most jaded. (i am not really a mushy type, but i am so enamored that i cannot possibly think of writing about anything else.) maybe the music just caught me at a hormonal high, but i don't think so.

anyway, garage sale tomorrow. gotta go sort.

hello again.
