We all know it's socially acceptable to mourn the loss of a loved one... even if that loved one is the family pet. Does anyone else find themselves mourning after material items? You know you get upset when you stain your favorite shirt or rip your favorite jeans. Is that shallow?! This week I lost my computer. We had a rough life together, but my little Compaq had so much sentimental value. You see, I bought it the year after I graduated high school. I used some money from graduation gifts and some that I had saved on my own. I realize she was getting old, but I really wasn't ready to see her crash like that. Of course, there may still be hope in bringing her back to life, but that would require money and an intelligent human being that wouldn't completely destroy her.
In other news: The beautiful weather has left us standing out in the cold... literally. I apologized to my shorts as I packed them safely in my drawer. I suppose it's the country girl in me that causes me to hate wearing pants and socks. I LOVE the summer months! You will NEVER see me in pants or closed toed shoes unless it is absolutely necessary.
Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable
