Stream of Consciousness Blog

Hop aboard.....the stream of consciousness train is leaving the station...

'Consciousness' is a really hard word to spell. It doesn't look right even when it is right. I had to look it up. I wonder "was it really worth all that trouble?"

I took my daughter and older niece to the Museum of Tolerance the other day. I got lost going through Los Angeles, of course. My blackberry has this great google map thing that tells me where the heck I am and how to get to where I meant to go. It was cool. The museum had one small section on general tolerance but the greater portion was dedicated to the Holocaust. Sobering. Sad. We also got to sit in on a talk given by a survivor. Amazing human spirit. I wonder if I could get through something even remotely similar. I doubt it. I was reminded of how truly blessed I am to live in America even with all it's faults. Something that clearly has haunted this man was that the world virtually ignored what was going on in Europe and allowed these atrocities to happen unhampered. I wonder what would happen today if this was going on I wonder if it isn't going on even now and we are similarly concerned in sustaining our physical or emotional or religious borders.
Yeah.....
Summer is here and it is hot. And my hair is frizzy. I don't like the heat nor my hair. Both seem to be unchangeable.
I need to figure out what to do about school. I need to register for the fall semester. Getting through my Spanish class was painful. What to do? Can someone shake up their Magic 8 Ball and tell me what the answer is? Will work slow down? Will it remain the same? Will my brain fog clear up so I can think clearly again?
Someone I know has a new boyfriend and all I can think of is how scary that is. That is just sad. I wasn't gracious when I found out and now I feel stupid and rude and shallow. But do I let it go or apologize?
The new Twlight movie came out last night. I haven't seen it yet. I am so Team Jacob and that is just a little sad too. I wonder what it is like to be that guys mom. How do you make your kid take out the trash when there are a million teenagers who think he is the most awesome piece of eye candy in the world. Course this is coming from someone who can't get her own kid to take out the trash so maybe it doesn't make a difference.
I also constantly wonder what happens with Bella has a visit from the Menstrual Fairy
In a few minutes I am going to pick up my sister from work and we are going to go to dinner. Her girls are going up to Utah tomorrow. That makes me sad. I am craving a salad. I wonder why there are so few salad bars these days-- used to be that every restaurant had a salad bar. WHERE HAVE ALL THE SALAD BARS GONE???
I need to leave now.
Don't be sad, okay?

Sorry your neices are going to UT.
That museum sounds sad. When we were in DC a few years ago, I didn't go to the one there. I like the look of your blog ...

Kody saw eclipse last night and said Taylor has a big belly button and his nostrils open and close a lot when he talks. Makes you wonder how good the movie was when that's what he noticed.
