Random thoughts that need to leave the head

1. We had dinner at this restaurant in Marietta called the Rib Ranch. Mmm, I love barbeque.

2. All but two of the 150-160 invitations are finally out... and we're already getting RSVPs back! I like having something to look forward to in the mail. I wish people still had pen pals. Maybe I'll be one of those people who sends cards. But then I don't know who would send them to me.

3. I love my grandparents. Why? Out of many reasons, they so predictably follow etiquette rules. Of course they're coming to my wedding, but I knew that their RSVP card would come within the first five we got back. Guess what. We got five back today. And theirs was one of them. Family is awesome.

4. I'm discovering that as much as I love new clothes and I love looking at nice things in stores, I really hate shopping for anything but maybe tennis shoes. I like to say I hate shopping for dresses. But then what about dress pants? Jeans never fit (for all the girls of the world who claim to have rears that don't fit in pants, you'd think someone would make a line that fit a girl's behind-- I can't even fit into Apple Bottoms). And the way they make shirts with those puffy sleeves and bands at the end you'd think girls had toothpicks for arms. Brooke tells me I should call my limbs "muscular." I say even when my arms were muscular they had trouble fitting into clothes. Let's not even begin with how bustlines fit me. I know, every girl complains about how clothes fit. But a lot of it's me. My size has been fluctuating both directions for the past few years so I have lots of clothes. But every time I need to wear one thing, it's too big or small and I have to go buy it again. And whenever I look for shoes, I always think, "I don't need those, they aren't brown or black, and the heels are too high and the toes are too pointy." But I always really enjoy looking at tennis shoes. Cute ones, practical ones. They're sturdy, reliable.

5. I actually started cleaning my room today. I still keep getting distracted by searching for jobs. I can't decide which one I want to do more.

6. There will probably be more of these to come. I have lots of random thoughts. Sorry I've been boring lately, but when your life consists of job hunting, telling yourself to clean your room and watching Little House on the Prairie, there's not much to talk about but what the voices inside your head are saying.
