But still the clever north wind was not satisfied. It spoke to me of towns yet to be visited, friends in need yet to be discovered, battles yet to be fought..

Dating Sites?
So this is extremely embarrassing to admit. Here goes. I just created a profile on match.com. I was or am extremely curious about how these things work. I am happy being single. Though fact, once my profile was completed. I went ahead and deleted it. HAHAH! I couldn't let myself do this. This is so not me or for me! At all! I don't even know if I want a relationship. I don't know if I want a relationship now! I barely have time to go and buy new pairs of socks. Which you would understand if you knew were i lived. Where you have to drive to Reno for the nearest store where you can find a wide variety or options and prices for socks. Though I feel that i should disclose that if i so wanted to i could get ski socks right around the corner from my house, and every other corner after that. :) Point being, buying socks is at least a half days adventure. A relationship? Man. Let me think of that some more. :D

Warmer days?
The weather keeps changing around here. It stormed for two
days which I completely loved! Then it got warm, which allowed me to go kayaking with my girl Izzy. Adore. Everyone around
here is saying it's going to be an early winter. Not that I don't believe them though I am a little inclined to disbelief since everyone saying this is a little bit of a ski or board bum. Though I am hoping for a bit more of warm days. Before I have to put on my skis and slide down the bunny slopes. Hey, hey I might not be that great, yet, but I live here and will get to do this on a daily basis with no more than a 5 minute drive. So the way I see it, the jokes on you my friend :)

Courage
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

Parents surprise visit
So.... The parents are "surprising" Me for my birthday weekend by visiting ;)
Lucky to have me
Growing up with movies like Disney and other media driven propaganda we are led to believe that we are somehow special and unique. I quite disagree. Not that's it's not true but I believe you can't be special and unique to an individual until they get to know you. You can't expect for an important or famous person to remember your face least your name. To them you are just another fan. It is until you become more of a fan that you become memorable. When this happens it is like a huge compliment to be remembered in a sea of faces. I do however believe that our experiences, knowledge and the environment we were set in this world are unique to every individual. Nobody else knows everything exactly like us or has had the same experiences much less raised in the same environment with the same rules and customs. That would be bizarre.
Not to sound conceited in any way but I know that I posses a lot of good qualities. Qualities that were driven into me by my parents and qualities that I had to work on to obtain. I was raised very old school I guess you could say. I was raised to be a lady and everything that that entails. I was thought not to argue or speak back (though this doesn't always work). I was thought to keep my voice at a certain noise level ( yes this is why I am so soft spoken and lets have a laugh for the old church mouse comment). I know sewing, knitting, painting, drawing, interior decorating, flower arranging (don't ask), have a good fashion sense, and of-course I can cook better than most committed housewives. The last one comes with the territory in which I have depended my livelihood on ( I think the only thing i missed was knowing how to play the piano and have a broad knowledge of languages to be the perfect 18th century housewife). When a meal is prepared I serve men first. It's what I was thought. I remember their dislikes and likes. A woman always has to be attentive. I was thought to be subservient to men. Though I don't expect you to understand or even agree. It is hard for me to agree sometimes but in the end of the day, I'm a product of my one raising. Putting my mans needs before my own. Dont get me wrong. I am very independent very strong willed and stubborn young lady. I have passion. I am driven. I am not meek.
Point is, I have a very different way or doing things and have a very different way of raising than most girls in this day and age. I may not be the most attractive woman, though I am very confident. If I am in your life and you have not recognized what I am, you are a fool. Because any man would be lucky to have me.

Friendships
Moving around a lot sort if limits your ability to maintain real friendships. Though I love and appreciate the kind of friendships were you can walk into their place anytime and feel at home. Being able to rummage through their kitchen and serve yourself to anything you find pleasing. I like being able to argue and move past it. To be able to be honest. To be in a room together doing completely different things and not feel the need for conversation and feel totally comfortable in the silence. Most of all I love it when they feel comfortable enough to do all those things to me. To walk into my apartment, feel totally at home and drink my last Dr. Pepper. Though naturally I have to complain about this ;) . I treasure these kinds of friendships and these little things are what will maintain you in my life no matter how many times I move.

Joy
For the time being I can and genuinely admit to being happy. A co-worker smiling at the idea of saving trees. A friend finding true joy at making onion glass. What else could I want? :D
