beats sweltering in the sun

I hate it when you get a song in your head that ties in all too well with current situations. Like I wake up and can hear Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on My Guitar" or suddenly realize I am humming Blackmore's Night's "Waiting Just for You." And I scowl at my subconscious and threaten it because I am trying to ignore these things, not dwell on them. Stay buried where you belong.

Well, chopped all my hair off last week after all. I can feel the breeze on the back of my neck now! Quite pleasant.

Went fishing (caught a walleye and crappie) and horseback riding last weekend. Rode an ornery guy named Ebony and we got on very well together. :D Enjoyed myself so much...was the first time I cantered, and I would start laughing because I was having so much fun, but then I would lose my seating because I was laughing so hard and needless to say, I am quite sore. But I love it. And we even took a small jump!

The bridal showers were, well, bridal showers. But at least I saw a couple of friends and some of my family.

So there are people and people, friends and friends. There are some friends you make plans with and these plans almost always happen. And then there are some friends you try to make plans with, but you have learned to anticipate the worst because the odds you actually do something together is slim. And it is hard to fathom, for they really have good excuses/reasons for breaking plans, but it seems odd that these random circumstances happen so often to them. It still must be tied to their personality, methinks. The very reason these circumstances happen is because of how they conduct themselves, in some ways.

Which hurts, naturally, to a person who still drops everything and anything for most people. Somedays I wish I didn't do this still. But it is something I respect and take pride in--a characteristic that equals "good" in my mind. Even though it hurts. C'est la vie.

So why do we so often want what we can't have?
