Should these be on the 'Today I stopped' thread???
I realized today, while I was driving my 5 year old to soccer practice... I'm now a soccer mom. I hate soccer moms. At least I don't drive a mini-van. And, in a couple of months I'll be a hockey mom. Hockey moms are cool.
I was driving out to St Louis last weekend. I'd had the morning fight over coffee with my husband, and I was mulling over everything in my head. Feeling like a total failure, thinking everything would be ok if I just tried one more time, did things a certain way, gave a little more... then I passed this billboard in the middle of a cornfield. "I have not failed. I have found 10,000 ways that do not work." I suddenly felt a lot better.
I had a great time in Chicago. One of the coolest things about meeting the Litizens there, was that we just meshed. There wasn't any of that awkward surrounded by strangers shit. We never ran out of things to say, it was perfect. I felt more like me than I have in a really long time.
