Beautiful Tangent

Iceberg So was an iceberg responsible for the sinking of the Titanic?  If the Titanic didn’t sink would Kate Winslet have a career? What would James Cameron be obsessed with?  He is spending tons of money studying the wreckage...good for him.  Shouldn’t that money be spent on world problems?  It’s easy for me to say as I don’t have that kind of money.  Hard to say what I would do if I did.  Does someone want to give me the money to find out? 

Lei Flower necklace, you can’t help but smile.  I think I smile because I think of how it is made and reminds me of popcorn strands for the Christmas tree.  I haven’t made one of those in ages.  Since I do not have a pet, I should make them this year.  My Christmas decorations this year have to make up for the lackluster attempt last year.  Don’t judge, I was in Australia.

Baby Socks So tiny, however they do not last.  I’m not talking quality, I’m talking fit.  Babies grow so fast.  I sometimes can’t comprehend that I was once that small.  Growing up is such a journey and incredible.  I wish I could stop, getting older is scary, partly because you don’t know what is coming.  When I was younger not knowing was exciting, now it is sort of petrifying.  I learned to think and analyze and because of this I’m now cynical.  I understand that I can control my future, however I wish it would all fall into a nice place without me directing it.

Something a Bit Different In today’s case it was the windows of a new tall building as they were different shades of blue and different shapes.  It made me do a double take because it was not what I expected.  It reminded me of a design that I painted on the walls of my first apartment in Ottawa.  I thought for sure the landlord was going to make me repaint before I left.  They did not, so  guess they were OK with it.  Does that confirm that perhaps my taste in decor is acceptable?  Now I accent with pillows, so much cleaner and less time consuming to make a change.

Finisher Medal I wore mine with pride on the walk home, now what do I do with it?  I have a bunch hanging from my coat hook, this does nothing but collect dust.  I can’t bring myself to toss them away because I have earned every one.  Today’s event came with a puke at the finish line and a personal best time too.  I might turn them into Christmas tree ornaments.  This way I will get to relive the proud moment of it getting placed on my neck from awesome volunteers when I place it on the tree.

My View I should appreciate it now because once the buildings are constructed in front, I will have nothing. It is a good thing I cleaned the windows today, as I now see it very clearly. Even went and got a plant to but atop the bistro set. The seller of the plant was very helpful, so this plant should do well in this location. I will call it Bruce. My plants inside are all happy, let's see if I can keep Bruce happy outside. I never had great luck with outdoor plants.

Downpour Does anyone think of securing things in case of heavy winds? We don’t live in an area that is prone to tornadoes (I don’t think), so it is not something I think about. My little bistro set sits on the balcony and I never think twice about it. Frankly I don’t remember the last time I sat on it. In fact it is filthy. Maybe tomorrow I will make an effort to clean it and the sliding door. There is so much construction across the street so the cleaning exercise will be futile, but I guess it’s the same argument about making your bed. Why do it if you are just going to get into it again?
