i've been waiting until i can get some awesome sweet pics to go with the post about this past weekend, but it's now officially overdue so i'll wait 'til next week to blog about that. but for this week, you're stuck with randomness. my mind wanders, so maybe by sharing them i can have some type of cathartic experience.

random thought #1 - southern drivers are about to drive me to an early grave. while being in the north this past weekend, i felt safe knowing that the skilled drivers around me knew what they were doing and did it confidently. down here, i feel raw and terrified each time i venture out into an intersection. i'm not talking about the people who run a red light, because let's face it - we all tell ourselves that the yellow will last longer. i'm more so referring to the people who have the right of way, and stop in the middle of the road and wave you through even though it's their turn and they have the right of way. it's their "good deed for the day" yet it only causes fear and confusion. when it comes to driving, we need to be somewhat robotic and non-negotiable with the laws of driving, people. it's just safe.

**side note: i realize the above random thought is based in drastic regional-profiling, but i'm unrepentant.

random thought #2 - i cannot wait for colder weather to come. i'm sporting short sleeves today and it's october! i remember having to wear nine layers of clothing under my halloween outfit just to prevent frostbite! sigh.

random thought #3 - i am so glad that God has given me eyes that see! almost every morning on my way to work, i am greeted with a beautiful sky from God as a gift to help start the day. what a privilege to have a God that is loving and caring enough to work the sky's art on an enjoyable canvas every day! if i could paint, my primary subject would be the amazing creation of God's sky.
