Awesome sunset tonight!

Here are a couple of the girls in my small group, we participated in the 20s Ultimate Frisbee Tourney today...it was intense. Yes, I got new sunglasses, my other ones sadly broke. Thanks Kim, Andrew, Jen, Josh, Alina, and Amanda for their endless input into the new shades. I'm also sporting my new Brazil t-shirt, to support my team in South America.

I have been quiet lately...

I have been quietly lately...not just blogging, but in general. I've thought of things to blog, but I've been busy at work, and when I sit down to blog it all just seems so trivial. I've had a new male interest come in and out of my life in the last month and a half, which I really never try to blog about, and maybe he is the reason for the silence...b/c it's him that I'm thinking about yet I really don't feel like sharing that in front of God and everyone on the world wide web. It is apparent that it's not going to work out, for one reason or another he's not that into me...don't worry I'm not really having a pitty party over her...I will admit to curiosity as to just what it is since when we are together we really seem to have a great time...seems like bailing or taking the easier path, such as never calling or pretending that nothing actually ever happened, is the common denominator in most of my relationships anyway. I always find it more painful on the ego then the heart. My life is great, my job is tough but I'm good at it and my company knows it, I've got a great a family, great friends, a great church, a great condo in a city I love...but I can not master this relationship thing and perhaps that's what pisses me off more then anything. I am not an ugly girl, I'm not a social retard...I'm young, funny, and successful...not to mention humble, girl who has absolutely zero luck when it comes to men. The ones that really dig me, I'm never really interested in, and the ones that half ass it, are the ones I want to really work out and always fizzle...

She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known.

She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again.

It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.

She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had

Horses in the Night

So I have discovered one of my favorite new sounds. About 11 pm every night if I have my windows open I can hear horses clomping down the streets. Last night, was a rainy dreary night and as I sat in the dim room at my computer, listening to the rain, which is one of my other favorite sounds, I began to hear the sounds of the horse and carriage returning from a night down town. In the usually busy city, full of sirens, honking, and just general business, it seems like the peaceful sounds of the hoofs of the horses hitting the pavement always makes me stop what I'm doing and peek out the window. The rare site of the horse and carriage always makes me smile...how cool is that?
