nothing in particular

It is quite windy. I hope my subconscious doesn't hear the wind and cause me to have yet another dream about tornadoes. (4 and counting, all starting in December...3 have occurred the night before actual tornadic events.)

Isn't it odd how we praise God for controlling the weather, but we don't blame him for natural disasters? Don't worry about me being struck by lightning for that...I'm just musing.

After looking at, but not filling, my giant, 21-section picture frame for 7 months, I finally ordered new prints and filled it with people I know! (Instead of all those fake people.) It brought such color and vibrancy to my room!

Lastly (because I feel the need to be more obscure), this is my "Why is the world ridiculous?" example of the week:


First of all, this short-sleeved sweater is on "sale" for the great bargain of $198 (originally $390). Okay, I recognize there is a difference in quality between Dollar General and Banana Republic, for example. But once you hit $100, you're just being ridiculous. And I appreciate the argument about fashion being wearable art. But a black sweater is not art by any definition. It's just rich people paying too much so they feel worth it. Secondly, stand up straight and quit pretending to be high fashion!


I miss my house in Ponca City with the door that would "moo" when it was windy.

It's great that you don't buy into the fashion thing, and yet you always look good. You seem so in control--wonder if those tornado dreams indicate you're a bit of a wild woman? More likely, they mean you're a bit unsettled about what job to take, what city to move to, etc. When you get those things settled, you'll probably resume your peaceful dreams.
