Random Thoughts

There are several things on my mind this evening. That actually happens a lot as the day winds down. I've been accused of over analyzing more than I care to count. Here are the highlights.

I've had to give up a dream again. It's a small dream and I've had it for a while now. I've had to set it aside again and it makes me sad. I know I will have it someday, when the timing is right. I have more to consider than my own desires at this time.

"Thank you Spain." Those were my first thoughts when I heard about the drama over the 'too thin' fashion models that were rejected. My second thought was, "it's about fucking time."

Other bits and pieces flow through my consciousness. A birthday party to plan, events to attend, things to sort through and throw away, making plum jelly. I'm finding there are more things I need or want to do, than I have time for and so I have to decide on which can be postponed or passed over all together, to make room for the ones that must be taken care of.

And in some sort of way, it all brings me back to my favorite subject. (Please don't try to understand my thought process, no one does.) Home remodeling. I'm considering going a different direction with the couch. I still want beige walls and crown molding. New light fixtures are required, in the very near future. This house is still that, just a house. I do not feel like I've put my mark on it up to this point. Talk to me about tile, hardwood floors and stone fire places, and I will show you where my dreams live. I have no 'one' style or theme. However, I tend to lean towards rustic, hunting lodge, a man's den mixed with a bit of softness. Yes, I know. Whatever the hell that means.

A home is a reflection of it's owner. I guess I am trying to discover what I want it to say about me.
