i have a collar-like ring of sunburn around the back of my neck. curses to the boatneck shirt i was wearing. curses to my missing with the sunscreen those few choice spots for the sun to mark out and burn.
it doesn't do for me to tan since i love to dye my hair red, so luckily, i don't tan, really. i burn, then i peel, then i'm just as ghostly as i was before.
i really should wear more sunscreen. i just don't wear much makeup at all is the problem. i'm a lipstick girl. some women need their eyeliner, i need my gloss. something. it dresses up the whole face.
i just had a 25th birthday. i feel better at 25 than i did at 21, my last considerable milestone. body-ideal and body-image are closer now to each other than ever before. Husband and i are relaxing into the soothing rhythm of marriage. i love being married. he'll be leaving for a business trip in June and not coming back for many, many months and i've been thinking about what that means for this little blog.
i'm so tired of that being a buzz-word, blog. i have had an online journal of some description since 1998 so i guess i'm just baffled that Mama Media is just now seeing their validity as a form of expression. people are, i suppose, using blogs as not just journals but their own personal opinion columns, so more thoughts are out there than ever before. is the world ready for that much mental diarrhea?
i think i might redesign this site a bit. it has been stuck in the Japanese Garden of Portland, Oregon for nearly years. something weird. something fun.
i'm now working in Nashville for a smart and sassy little company. i love it. i have never had a job where i could honestly say that i adored going in to work. the commute isn't that bad, the people are fab, the perks are great. like this sunburn: i got it at a Nashville Sounds minor-league baseball game on the company dime today, and then they turned us loose so i was home by four instead of 6:30ish.
also recently acquired is this fabulous new computer upon which i am writing: a dual 2.3 GHz G5 PowerMac with a 20" Cinema Display. creamy dreamy.

bloop, bloop. i first, would like to say that i adore your blog. i don't know why i find it so interesting; most blogs really annoy me, but i've always come back to this one. my husband and i just got married last week, and he's leaving for korea and won't be back for a whole year. there should be a support group or something online to help people deal with it. :/ it's going to be so hard not being around him, but i'm sure somehow, i will manage. i hope everything works out for you. <3
