My Dad

Today my dad had surgery to remove his thyroid along with a mass larger than the size of a softball... in his neck! Gross, I know. He's doing great! It looks like he had his throat slit in a gang fight, but I'm sure it will heal nicely.

After today, here's one thing I know:
I love my dad on morphine.

Gross!

Yesterday as I was pulling into a parking lot I saw a man running. And I thought "he looked naked." Then he turned the corner and started running toward my parking spot and I thought "Oh gosh. He is naked!" Then immediately said something out loud like "Gross. Eww. Sick. Why?" Then I saw 2 police turn a corner and run after him behind the shopping center. I don't know what ended up happening and I was okay with not checking it out. I had seen enough.

It's not everyday I see a naked man running around. I know I'd be fine not seeing him again... ever.

Hard Fall = Hard Laugh

Today I watched a 30-ish year old man walk out of Starbucks. Drink in hand. Ray bans in place. Diesel Jeans fit just right. And the I-think-I'm-so-hot-and-everyone-is-watching-me-right-now-and-thinks-the-same-thing attitude that explains his "type." As I watched him walk away I was thinking how that attitude and world view is such a turn off, and suddenly...

HE FELL HARD!

He missed the curb and fell straight on his stomach... in the middle of an empty parking spot, then stood up as fast as he could and walked away as though nothing happened, leaving the now empty coffee cup lying on the pavement. I couldn't stop laughing and neither could anyone else in the area.

Do you laugh when you see someone fall?

Wanna know...

What's been going on in my world lately? Here you go:

- Finished reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (A-)


- Halfway through reading Plan B by Anne Lamott (so far I like her first one, Traveling Mercies, better)



- Went to an indoor shooting range with a few friends where I shot: a 22 (boring), a 45 (scary), a 9mm(perfect), a 9 mm rifle (awkward) and a 12-gauge shotgun (ouch! but VERY enjoyable).


- Purchased 3 new albums - Patty Griffin, Brandi Carlile and Miranda Lambert. So far Patty's is my favorite. But the others are great too.


- Called my sister to tell her Happy Birthday!

- Kathlee moved out - sad! Cathi moved in - glad!


- Going to Palm Springs this weekend and I'm SO excited!
