Spring Showers

Spring showers are continuing into May here in Alabama, and besides battling the allergies, I actually enjoy the seeming weekly downpour with thunder and lightening and the whole nine yards of rain (no joke Oregon, the south gets just as much rain, it just comes and goes a whole lot faster).

Life is plugging along, and while Kristopher and I continue to grow in our marriage (as we should), and work is plugging along at its own sales pace, I miss my west coast culture, as weird as it can be, as close minded some 'open minded' people are. I have always enjoyed music, but find myself attracted to my 'west coast'/'coastal music' genre's more and more often. Others compliment my musical taste and something they like and is different... its not different folks, its just not country, want to be good rap music that isn't, or gospel, and well... that's about what south music sums up.

I know it is all in getting settled in a new place, its the waves of emotion, along with hormonal shifts throughout the month of being a women, and with time I'll find the good folk I want to chat with all the time, that will go on runs with me, that will come over for a cup of coffee or wine, or both and just chat. I'll find cooking friends, and arts and craft friends - in the mean time, I'll plug away at grad school, being a good person, and putting together my home.

By the way, did I mention we bought a dinning room table and chairs... like real, big kid table and chairs... I love them, I want to sit in the dinning room just because I love them that much. I ate breakfast there the other day, and then did Gnome Notes planning there, and well... I continue to find excuses. : )

Now if the fuzzy kid would get the hint that she will be a dead pup soon if she continues to throw dance parties on top of it while we are away, we will all be happy family (no joke... )
