A Brown Bag of Thoughts

People need to stop watering their lawns. Just stop. Seriously. It is October 31st in Michigan. It is time to stop looking at the beautiful green on the ground and to start looking up at the magnificent burning leaves. Let your lawns go, people. The sun is no longer in a position to suck the moisture and I do believe that the grass would like to set into its' brown slumber for the cold season of winter. The leaves will blanket the blades until next year when they are thirsty again. So, back off.

I am currently listening to my running music on my ipod (even though I am not running), and right now it is playing My Humps by Black Eyed Peas. She is saying something about starting some "drama" if he touches her lovely lady lumps. Apparently she is going to get him drunk off "this hump". Hmm. Did you know there is a website you can go to in order to find out what they mean by stuff like that? I don't know what that site is... but if I find out, I'll mention it in a post soon.

I also listened to Don't Wait by Dashboard Confessional earlier... such a great song. They sing in that song to "lay your armour down"... quite a significant statement if you think about what it could mean. By "armour" could they mean "baggage"? Don't we all have a little baggage we could stand to lay down somewhere, if even for a little while? Or maybe even have a friend help you carry it? We could all use a little break from our armour from time to time.

By the way, remember when my dog ran into that house cause the owners left their front door WIDE OPEN??? Well, they didn't learn their lesson. We go past that house everyday while we exercise and, most of the time, that front door remains open... with their two dogs sitting outside on the lawn. And the lawn is green and lush and so I would deduce that they too are still watering their lawn. I would also deduce that they have an electric fence in the front. And just as an update: Chuck and I have been rollerblading quite a bit lately (easier for me, harder for him) and it is going just swimmingly:) Very happy about that. He is so concerned with following me that he barely notices the other dogs and squirrels... Near perfect.

Lastly, Sugar and I are officially just "friends". She was getting to be a controlling bitch, and while she is still around, our relationship isn't such that she can control me. And she requested that if anyone asks, it was "mutual".
