I used to think that it was just always cold in Massachusetts, but thats not 100% true. Really, the weather is kind of weird. For a few days, it got really fall-appropriately cold, like you would expect from October in Massachusetts. But then it keeps getting warm, and cold, and warm again, and it's really emotionally taxing because I just cant decide how to feel, or how to dress, really. Today is really cold and rainy and windy, and you better believe I ran in a downpour this morning to "beat the rain" that just happened to go away this afternoon. Sunday and yesterday were both very nice, which is good because I had 16 miles this weekend. It was so nice in fact that I wore a skirt and was almost convinced it was spring. To top off the perfection, I was walking to the library when a chipmunk (and I think they are much cuter than squirrels) ran out from under a bush and stopped right at my feet and looked up at me-he didn't even run away! And right after I said hello to him, a LADY BUG landed on me. THEN a light breeze blew through my hair and birds sang. It sounds just like a scene from Enchanted, and I swear its all true! At this rate, I'm hoping to be fully Disney Princess just in time for the marathon.
Speaking of all that, Halloween is this Friday. I'm really excited about it, but it's hard to decide exactly how to celebrate it. I mean, eating candy is an obvious necessity, but its hard to figure out my role in this holiday since I'm too old to trick-or-treat and I don't have a kid to take. I don't even have a class to throw a party for. So I guess I just hand out candy, but do I dress up? Because I really want to, but how many adults dress up in costumes to stay home and hand out candy? And where can I wear a costume anyways, besides a bar where I won't be the only female not in lingerie? I really need to make friends that have Halloween parties. Its the only way to bring more Halloween into my life.
And while we are on Holidays, I started listening to Christmas music last week. Not that I'm the type to skip over holidays to get to Christmas in a hurry, but I just like it. And really, if Christmas is so important and sacred because it focuses on Jesus' birth, then shouldn't that be reflected upon for more than just the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I think so.
And one last random thought that popped into my mind while I was listening to a Christmas song by Clay Aiken- I know he came out a while ago, but was it really necessary for him to declare that he is gay? Wasn't it obvious, or did I just jump to that conclusion and end up right by chance?
