in MY monologue

Here's a little something I wrote over Thanksgiving break. It was inspired by a good friend with whom I had coffee that week, as she shared this video with me:

I like camping and mint chocolate chip ice cream,

but I'm not gonna talk about that

in MY monologue.

I like laughing and my charm bracelet,

but I'm not gonna talk about that

in my monologue.

La la la.

La la la.

I like going to Egypt and shooting guns in Colorado

but I'm not gonna say that

in my monologue.

I moved to Boone, thus expanding my horizons

but I'm not gonna say that

in my monologue.

La la, LA la la la la

This is my blogosphere monologue.

You might think I'd mention the half marathon that I ran yesterday in Atlanta

but I'm not gonna talk about that

in my monologue.

By the way, I did real well!

Though my hip-flexers hurt like hell,

but I'm not gonna write about that

in my monologue.

La la la.

Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

La la la.

And if you're wondering if I might

be dating a chemical engineer,

well I'm not gonna comment on that

in my monologue.

La la, LA la la la la

This is my blogosphere monologue

You might be expecting me to say

something about going to the Philippines in May

with Operation Smile to do a medical mission,

It'll actually be in March

Shortly after spring break

but I'm not gonna talk about that

in my monologue.

My blogosphere monologue

La la, LA la la la la

That was my blogosphere monologue.

update

Friends, the seasons are changing, and it's high-time for an update.

There is a time for everything
and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Panera

Today I woke up and went to Panera for a whole grain bagel and cup of coffee. Than I stayed here for four hours, working on a project for my neurogenic communication disorders class until the lunch crowd arrived. Upon the realization that a great deal of my consciousness was being spent suppressing the urge to politely ask the boisterous group of gossiping women at the next table to can it, I decided that it was time for a break. So I went home, stopping at the grocery store to pick up a couple of staples for the week on the way. At home, I cycled my laundry and completed one (of the THREE) preschool language disorders assignments I have due on Monday.

Then I came back to Panera for a cup of tea and some French Onion Soup. I'll stay here for another 45 minutes - until they close. Then I'll move to another coffee shop that stays open a little later.
