Here are some random thoughts for your amusement or thought or both.

1. I spent an hour drive to the Boston area flipping radio stations. I couldn't find anything I was happy with. Finally, Joe Cocker is singing, and I am happy. Two lines in, the radio station becomes full static and morphs into another radio station playing lite favorites. Why do radio stations only seem to do that in the middle of a great song?

2. When I think I can't stand anymore, the kids give me smiles and hugs and kisses and everything is all better. There really is something to "kiss it and make it better".

3. Never trust a minister who A) Drives a BMW B) is going through a midlife crisis or C) is both A and B

4. The more okay I am with me, the younger my boyfriends have become. I can't wait until I'm 50. Hehe.

5. I saw a college girl once who had her hair in two pigtails with ribbons. She had on jeans and a pink t-shirt with mary janes. It was slightly raining, so she was carrying a Winni the Pooh umbrella. She was smoking a cigarette. That was 7 years ago, and I can't get rid of that image.

6. I love how no matter how far away my best friend is, I can pick up the phone and we can still sing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

7. Sometimes, I get so restless that I just want to get in the car and go. I don't care where I head or where I end up. I just want to go. I used to do that before I had kids. I would leave my apartment at anytime of night, keep the windows rolled down, and feel lost in the wind going through my hair. I miss that feeling. The funny thing is that no matter which way I went or what road I took, I always managed to find myself parking in front of a theatre.

8. Someone recently told me that I need to be spontaneous. One time in VA, I was sitting with a friend and we were talking at about 1:00 AM. We decided to go to the beach. In February. We left 5 minutes later. An hour and a half later, we were on the beach. As we continued to talk, he told me about his time in Switzerland. We decided to head to the mountains. Five minutes later, we were headed west, hoping to get to the mountains before sunrise. An hour later, as the sun began to come over the horizon, we looked at each other and simultaneously said "We ain't gonna make it." So, we stopped to buy another carton of cigarettes and some coffee and we headed back to the theatre where we started. That was me. That was just one example of flying by the seat of pants. It was fun. I hope that part of me never goes away.

9. I am a rock star in my own mind. Aren't we all?

10. I'm sure I have much more to say. I always have a lot on my mind. Right now, I'm tired and I think I'll go to bed. Good night! Thanks for reading!
