i'm no longer a lady in waiting.
i should never underestimate my mother. she totally freaked me out calling me at work during my lunch and leaving a message on my voicemail saying she had "some news". she sounded excited. she reminded me of a teenager who just had to call her friend to "dish". what could it be!?! i wondered. as much as it drove me crazy, i do really delight in the fact that she's a typical girl and she's over-dramatic. i come by it honestly. it turns out she was calling to report back to me about something someone had read on pspd, and to tell me to be careful what i write. i assured her that i AM careful and that what i'd said could not be interpreted negatively. she was so excited about it. it was funny. i guess it was partly because she's never heard anyone talk about my blog before, except for me. she knows it exists, i guess it never occurred to her that people actually read it.
this evening i went out with meghan to the goat. well it wasn't so much as going out with her as much as meeting up with her but you know. it was really nice. i felt so relaxed and at ease and she made me laugh and laugh. i can't remember when i felt like that last and it was really good.
uh-oh meghan... the sneezing has started again....
you may have noticed that i changed my profile photo. its been almost a year since i changed it last. it was not a predetermined decision. i was perfectly content with the other one, but meghan convinced me it was time to change it. i wasn't going to say anything and instead see if anyone comments, but it brought up an interesting thought in my mind... i'm hesitant for change. is this because i'm afraid of change? no, i don't think i am. i've concluded, that the reason why i don't change things is because when i do something its because i like it. i NEVER rearrange my furniture and that's because when i layout a room i put a lot of thought into it and my final arrangement is what i think is the best set-up. if i order the same thing from a menu its because i like it, so logic tells me to order it again. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. frig, i live on a virtual emotional roller-coaster, i think i deserve little consistency somewhere.
don't question where you stand or where you fall.

I like the new profile pic a lot. Especially because of your green shoulder. Seeing green always cheers me up.
thanks rachel. i like how it unintentionally matches the colour scheme of pspd.
what was she excited about? i don't get it.
she was worried i'd said something mean and the person found out. but i wasn't mean, so its all good.
I noticed the new pic right away, actually.
It is a very typical "Les" face.
oh dear old blogs...
what are you not waiting for?
ya i think it pretty accurately represents me. that's partly why i chose it.
melinda... i'll respond via email :p
Out with Meghan last night, eh? Carolyn and I were wakened last night at 2:30 with a Meghan and her drunken friend outside our window carrying on a very loud, raucous conversation. That wouldn't have been you, would it?
no bob, i am a responsible career woman who has been at work on time for 2 days in a row ;)
I have blog envy Lesley!!! No one talks about our blog or writes about our blog or, for that matter, READS our blog!!!! Poor Gen and Steve!!!
(can you tell that I've having one of those "I'm feeling sorry for myself" days!?!?!)
p.s. I was looking at your flickr page and i want to go to Kenya now!!
hey! you changed your picture too! no... wait, you didn't have a picture before. well i like it. is it a tim forbes'?
don't be discouraged gen. my blog is not the blog of blogs. i was told about the crazy aunt purl blog, and she gets anywhere from 90 to 200 comments per entry. it always seems whatever i do, there's someone out there that does it WAY better. i'm learning to be ok with that. i've just got to be the best me i can be :p
kenya is totally beautiful. but extremely dusty and has a unique smell. its not bad, but its noticable, i don't know if its the trees or dirt or what!
i read your blog. AND i know for a fact! that your friends read it. plus, some of my closest friends NEVER frequent pspd, some people just aren't into the blog scene.
i hope you have a lovely day and something kick-ass awesome happens. or at least something special :)
I read crazy aunt purl. she's hilarious.
but seriously, i was surprised when I put a stat counter on my blog. lots of people read blogs and don't comment.
i like how your picture is a polar opposite of the attitude displayed in your previous pic.
hmm, you think this new pic is the polar opposite of the other one? hm, you might be right! i hadn't thought of that.
i think its funny - it looks like i'm laughing at my own comments. which is sometimes inappropriate. but that's pretty typical me too - to laugh at inappropriate times.
i like the new pic, too. and thanks for pointing it out. not sure i would have noticed it right away.
why thank you. i'm glad you like it. you change your photo quite often, don't you dawna. hm. i change my msn photo frequently -depending on my mood.
