eyes

I have been having these wandering daydreams as of late. And I have been relishing the thoughts... and I thought I would write them down.

I have come to the decision that if I have not found "Mr. Right" by the time I am 40, I will look into adopting a baby. I just don't think I can go through this life and not be a Mommy. As I have come to the resolution, I have had a few day dreams. About having a little girl come home from school and hop off the bus, and come running. I ask how her day was, and we go in the house for a snack. Here is the beautiful part, every time I find myself having this "day dream" the little girl has Asian eyes.

I have found such joy in thinking of this future. It has gotten me out of the "funk" that I have been in for the past few weeks. And whether or not this is my future reality or just my day dream, I look forward to it.

not an equal opportunity chewer

I have another confession-- I am a gum bigot. It is a hard reality, but a true one.

It all started when they came out with fruity gum. And made them different colors. It just isn't normal. If i wanted to chew on something that tastes like fruit I would get a fruit roll up. Gum should be white and taste like mint. Not neon green and taste like key lime pie. I even think spearmint is pushing it. Gum is meant to freshen your breath, not take the place of Marie Calendar's pie or Strawberry Shortcake. Do the right thing- chew mint gum.

small world

Today at work, I had an amazing phone call.

I often get phone calls from hospitals confirming coverage for a patient. As I answered the call, the voice on the other side of the phone stated she was a nurse from Community Hospital in Munster, IN. That clicked with me, I am very familiar with that hospital because my mother spent a lot of time there while she was sick at the end of her life. As the phone call went on, I asked the nurse for her name to document the call, and she said, "Jodi". I was speaking to Nurse Jodi. She cared for my mother almost 10 years ago in that very hospital.

Life can come at you sideways and remind you of how small this world really is.
