Broad Points X

91. I love those X-ray aprons at the dentist's office. I wish they'd leave it on me for the whole appointment.

92. This is probably some sort of vegan blasphemy, but I really don't like hummus.

93. I have sung "Kumbaya" unironically.

94. I have a lot of empathy for newborn babies. They go from being all cozy inside a nice, stretchy uterus to being out where it's cold and there are bright lights and weird noises and people who mess with them. Sounds like zero fun to me.

Westley, five days old.

95. I have a mental map of all the pay phones around town. There's an honest-to-goodness phone booth at a gas station a few miles from my house.

96. I'm a complete hair-styling dunce.

97. When I'm listening to music through earbud headphones, I imagine that the sound is somehow traveling into my organs.

98. No one I asked on a date ever accepted.

99. For the longest time, I wouldn't wear sunglasses ever. They just felt awkward and uncomfortable. At some point, I decided I was going to make an effort to wear them (as opposed to going around squinting all the time), and now I find myself wearing sunglasses even on gloomy days.

100. I'm kind of looking forward to being in my sixties.

ME TOOOO

There's something cozy and safe about that evenly distributed weight. I thought I was the only one.

YES! I also love the aprons. The weight is so nice feeling.

I'm the same way with the sunglasses- they're now like a security blanket and I can't leave the house without them. You guys are all nuts with those heavy aprons though... those freak me out :)

I have had a love affair with sunglasses since I was a teen. They're the perfect way to get out w/o wearing makeup or fixing your hair and still looking pretty cute! Since beginning to wear proper glasses full time I have missed my shades.

I am also looking forward to being an ol' gal. I love boardgames, crocheting, and a good cup of tea so I imagine the transition to senior citizen will be a pretty easy one.

We were just lamenting that our vegan children don't like hummus and now you're saying you don't?! Crazy girl! :)

NOELLE ALOUD said...

Cindy, I keep trying to like it, and I just...don't think I do. Oh, well.

Yes on the empathy for newborns. I was just talking to Eric about it last night. From cozy to chaos in no time, must be very overwhelming. :/
