She was talking about her exboyfriend, she said -

"He didn't like anything. I mean, we dated for three years and he ever actually liked a single thing. I swear."

"Maybe you just didn't know him."

I was in the car yesterday with NPR on in the background and I heard mention of Uganda. My ears instantly perked up and I turned up the volume to listen. It was the end of the story, so I didn't catch much, but I just wanted to let you know that it's because of you that I heard it. So many other words and places and stories droned on in the background but, for no personal reason other than knowing you, I care about Uganda now. Thanks for that.

I love routines.

2011-07-20T08:32:00.001-07:00

Ten o'clock and I'm the first one home. I was also the last to leave - fifteen hours ago. It's ten at night, but it's still close to 75 degrees outside. We're getting everything we complained about missing last Summer, and I couldn't be more pleased. Stiffling heat isn't so bad when you've been penned a few hundred feet above streeet level in an climate controlled, modern day factory for 12 consecutive hours. Nope, sweltering heat is not so bad at all. Maybe it's the schadenfreude.

The hot, still air when I walk through my front door is like a "welcome home, honey." After a full day of clicking and whirring, phones ringing, questions, objections, hollow smalltalk and meeting reminder dings, the silence of a closed up empty house grabs my attention.

It's hot and stuffy - and I like it. It smells like me and my stuff and my place. My animal brain, adept at reading complex layers of scents like my primal ancestors, calls up old memories. They are the same memories I subconsciously revisit everytime I smell this smell and that calms me. I love routines - especially the kind that take no effort.

Beeyooteeful.
