Someone Like You

I am not lacking in self awareness.

I know when I am boring someone, or when someone doesn't get me, or whatever.

That being said, I get that I probably put too many videos on this blog.

To be honest, I rarely watch other people's videos.

However, someone sent me this link tonight and watching this video made me cry.

Maybe that's more testament to my mental illness than the power of the video.

Who knows?

But..if you get a chance watch it. It's Adele singing "Someone like you"

I could see Daniel waving goodbye...

This is a time lapse series of photos from the tallest mountain in Spain. I have almost never seen anything as beautiful..

She's been gone since that summer...

# 11- Learn the art of cat napping. (aka stealing my dad's cats)

There's been a lot of people that tell me that they can't get enough of my "list" blog posts.

You know, the ones where I list all the crap...awesome stuff I have planned. 

Well, back by popular demand..another list:

STUFF I FULLY PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER WITH MY DEVIL NIECES AND NEPHEWS!

1. See every corner of Philadelphia. It's sad that I've lived both near it all my life, as well as living IN downtown Philly for a year, and I've never really seen more than the basics. 

2. Camp out in the backyard. Or at least the screened in porch

3. Convince one or more of them to take a chance on Harry Potter

4. Have SEVERAL camp fires

5. Go swimming in a real lake...or the pool at Nockamixon..either one

6. Buy Elly's kindergarten wardrobe. 

7. Go strawberry picking

8. Go to Music Fest

9. Go to a carnival

10. Have the BEST summer of our lives!!

Jealous, much?

Ok,

I've got 50 days left in the South. 

While I am INTENSELY excited to leave, there are a few things I need to accomplish before I do. 

1. Get a picture with the Confederate Solider statute

2. Try Short Sugars Barbecue. 

3. Make fried green tomatoes

4. Tell someone "As God as my witness, I shall never go hungry again"

5. Get a picture of "Pettigrew" road. I drive by it like 10 times a day, and it always makes me frown. 

6. And last; but not least...take the midnight train to Georgia. 

That one's been on my Life Ambition List forever, and I WILL NOT leave the South without accomplishing it..I'm going to look up train times right now...

This is not what I intended..

I keep checking back here, but nobody has updated today. 

Entertain me, clowns!

I've already watched the Deathly Hallows twice and stared at my laundry for an hour, willing it to put itself away. 

(Which; you'll be angered to learn, it did not do)

I was going to see my clients, but there are tornado warnings and there was a torrential downpour. During the only time I was outside, of course. 

The south has heard me talking smack about it and it has answered back with a vengeance. 

The walmart in Reidsville is changing everything around. 

It's disconcerting. 

I had to wander around to find the books. 

Then I had to stamp my feet in rage because there were no good books.

Oh walmart..how did it come to this? 

*sigh*

I guess I can't evade filing my taxes any longer.

I ain't (going to be) missing you at all

To whom it may concern: 

(I'm talking to you, state of North Carolina)

I am officially; in writing, resigning my position as the victim of your unseasonably hot weather. 

Effective June 5th, 2011. 

Yours truly,

Lori Hinsdale

You guys

I put in my official written notice today. 

I feel free. 

I'm going home.

Know all of the things that make you who you are...

I keep wanting to write about what a hipster I am becoming. 

Only, I'm not really a hipster.

Just super cool and trendy.

I've gotten back into my Songs about Jane phase. 

Takes me back to some crazy times in my life. 

Like the time my sister Erin deliberately dumped me into a lake after we lost a canoe race to the town of Perkasie and the country of Scotland respectively. 

It's so hot here. So hot. 

I can't wait to get home. To shop for Elly's kindergarten wardrobe. To camp out and have adventures in Qtown with my muffin babies. My life isnt quite right without them. 

I totally pulled up next to car with hydraulics today, and you know what was blasting from my radio..you guessed it... Justin Beiber! I think I kind of saw a glimmer of respect in the drivers eyes. He probably would have high fived me if his friends hadn't been there.
