uncomfy in the tumtum region
yah, so i got these pangs in the tumsie and frankly i'm not enjoying them. also my leg is aching. also i noticed a new line (new to me anyways) on my nose yesterday. bethany gave me a massage on sunday and she said i had the tightest hardest neck she had ever seen. if only she meant my abs or my bum. but no, it was the neck, and i feel the tightness. fatima says as wise as a sage "neck is a fragile body part." and she knows. the long and the short of it is i'm falling apart in the physicality department. tolerable well in spirit though.
last night i finished the secret garden. i liked it a lot. i liked it's themes of rebirth and faith and repentance (it's not labeled as repentance, but that's what it really is). i liked the garden part. i liked the way each person in the little things they did had important impacts. it was a good book. this is a quote from it that i felt an affinity to.
"One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going it live forever nd ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unkown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun--which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousnads and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so. And one knows it sometimes when one stands by oneself in a wood at sunset and the mysterious deep gold stillness slanting through and under the branches seems to be saying slowly again and again something one cannot quite hear, however much one tries. Then sometimes the immense quiet of the dark blue at night with millions of stars waiting and watching makes one sure; and sometimes a sound of far-off music makes it true; and sometimes a look in someone's eyes."
from karey's kindly shared laffy taffy: why was the tomoato blushing? because it saw the salad dressing. karey just gave me all her banana laffy taffy's because she doesn't like them. but i asked her for a green apple one too. ( i saw her eating one yesterday and was jealous.) and she gave me one without a fuss. to top it all off, the tomato blushing joke was on that one. life doesn't get much better than this.
karey and i washed our cars yesterday. i think that my poor car hadn't been washed since the summer, but don't tell dad. there was green stuff growing on the black lining of the window. it was soooooooo cold out and the water from the frozen hose was icy under my thumb as i stuck it into the stream to make a spraying effect. i soon learned my lesson and contented myself with hold the hose in a limp arc and letting the water flow out as it would. after we were done we were very proud of ourselves and our cars were surprisingly shiny and bright. we almost forgot how shiny they could be.
last night heather and i watched girl with a pearl earring for our family home evening. we had both watched it before. ( i borrowed it from steve once) but now we had both read the book (which is very good) i noticed a lot of things that they changed, but they aren't bad important things. i forgot how tense the movie is. i found myself clenching my stomach muscles and heather told me when it was over that she hardly moved the whole time. they call it a domestic thriller. one thing i like about it is that griet has hardly any lines. she talks very little but her face and the way she moves and what she does is so telling.
anyways poor evan is probably scrolling down and saying to himself "how will i ever read this WHOLE thing?" well buck up buddy boy, there's lots more to come about my sarah day and my bethanyamy weekend.
