i’ve got the itch to get out of this town/country/continent.  the last big trip i took was Belize for my honeymoon almost two years ago. 

i’ve been to 14 places listed here, but would love to cross them all off…

I managed to hit eight of these.  Lisbon is next, I think.

edatrix: GOOD THING I’M NOT LACTOSE INTOLERANT. Hmmm.  Lauren’s post reminds me of couch-sitting with my 17-year old watching stoopit TV and she turns to me and says “You have no idea how much I miss blue cheese”. Now, a couple of things spring to mind as I retell this story. How lucky I am to be able to be sitting around with my 17-year-old. How great it is that she talks to me The fact that when she was little and we went out to eat, she always ordered the same thing in her piping little-kid voice, “A side salad with blue cheese, please!” Bittersweet moment there.  We want so many things for our children. There are those things we can never give them. A parent lesson I’m glad I learned early.

Now, a couple of things spring to mind as I retell this story.

  • How lucky I am to be able to be sitting around with my 17-year-old.
  • How great it is that she talks to me
  • The fact that when she was little and we went out to eat, she always ordered the same thing in her piping little-kid voice, “A side salad with blue cheese, please!”

Bittersweet moment there.  We want so many things for our children. There are those things we can never give them. A parent lesson I’m glad I learned early.

"Never expect to outgrow lonliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you will ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way."

That cat is not happy.  I firmly believe he’s sedated.  This is a post-catnip totally stoned out of his mind cat.

WTH?

Sitting on the couch with my daughter

and watching her giggle uncontrollably at Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson doing pectoral jiggles in the trailer for his new movie.  She seriously didn’t stop for a least 45 seconds. …… the peck jiggle was funny but I don’t think that was why she was giggling.

"Today there are more African-Americans under correctional control — in prison or jail, on probation or parole — than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the Civil War began."

— Michelle Alexander, on the number of blacks in the criminal justice system. On Monday’s Fresh Air, Alexander details how President Reagan’s war on drugs led to a mass incarceration of black males and the difficulties these felons face after serving their prison sentences. (via nprfreshair)
