04/20/2005: "Quirks"

My life is shot to hell. I voted last night in American Idol. I couldn't help myself. After the retinue of disco renditions, Bo Bice taking on Vehicle drove me to the phone. Wow! So, now I've officially participated in the world's biggest popularity contest.

How do we wind up with weird quirks? I seroiusly hate to unpack a suitcase. That road trip my daughter and I took two weeks ago over Spring Break--suitcase is still in the closet to be unpacked--uh, I did pull out the dirty clothes, but the clean ones are still waiting to be unpacked and put away. The overnight bag I took to the retreat? Sitting in the closet next to the Spring Break bag. One year I didn't unpack my bag from National Conference (end of July) until October. It just sat on the guest room bed for three months. Really I don't have a daily need for business suits or an evening gown, so it sat there. Maybe it's that I hate that the fun trip is over and unpacking represents a return to the mundane. Or maybe it's that I'm just lazy....

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
