random things..

I collect stamps. I buy new books or sheets and always keep at least one stamp from the pack. The other night I broke out in singing "America the Beautiful" and "The Star Spangled Banner" in my bedroom. It made me realize my (secret) dream would be to sing one of these songs at a major league baseball game. I just love that…the filled stadium on a beautiful warm spring weekend afternoon…all the colors of the crowd. I love those moments and I hate if I go to the game with someone and they make us late and I miss the national anthem. So, yes…I wish I could sing and sing well enough to do such a event, but my voice would have scrambling headed for the exits….so, I keep it in the confines of my house or vehicle….i make coffee alomost every morning at home and then take it to work. But, I don't have a "to-go" mug or container so I just take it in my coffee mug. Yes, it makes it more prone to spills and always by the time I get to work, coffee is cold. I don't know why I just don’t go buy a "to-go" container….i am fine with spending money in casinos, but it takes SO MUCH EFFORT for me to buy things like socks for work. I don’t nearly have enough and even some I have are total mismatch but I wear them anyway because they are same color….i probably have about 50 journals from my past writings... I don't really get people's fascination and adoration of diamonds. I am not attracted to diamonds at all. I've seen folks wedding rings and such and I think to myself "wow, I would NEVER wear that". I have one piece of jewelry that I wear…it is a plain gold signet ring, except I never put my initials on it. I thought it looked better empty. A good friend of mine gave it to me as I graduated from college and dedicated it to me on the inside of the ring. Very cool…. I ate quiche for the first time this past weekend and really liked it….before I started wearing glasses at about age 25, people used to always make comments on how long my eyelashes are….now, no one ever says that….are they not long anymore?

No wonder you always want to go to the hockey games early! ;-)
I'm the same way with socks and it drives me nuts.
People notice your cool glasses more than your eyelashes which are probably still long.

I love these little glimpses into you and your life, AF. Very interesting.

You didn't need glasses until 25?! Wow. I get the same thing about eyelashes when I wear my glasses instead of the contacts. My feeling is, our eyelashes haven't gotten shorter, the glasses just hide them more or like T2 says, people are just too riveted to the impressive eyewear. ;)

Glasses have been part of my life since I was 8 or 9. Can't recall anyone commenting about lashes before, certainly not since. ;-)

Love the randomness.
