life lessons
I am a lot stronger than I gave myself credit for. Sometimes it takes being disappointed in everything around you to decide to rise above.

The Righteous Brothers
Playing fifties music just to get my daddy to sing. And also because I love it.

The Velveteen Rabbit
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
"You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one."

Me(to Leah):" I started crying while I wrote your card."
Jenae(Leah's sister):"Paige, you cry about everything."
The truth comes out...

My mom has a set just like these, and this really sentimental part of me has to have them. Further proof that I am in fact becoming my mother.

itunes
I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I feel really sneaky listening to other people's music on shared networks...I feel like it's this really intimate, yet possibly false projection of them that maybe I shouldn't be privy to. That being said, the people I work with have really good/diverse tastes in music, so not having my ipod handy is more of a blessing than a tragedy.
