I don't mind spending every day, out on your corner in the pouring rain...

I didn't intend for my last post to elicit sympathy. I guess it did, though!

I'll take sympathy any chance I can get..it's like crack to me :)  

Anyway, one of my all time favorite bloggers asked me to blog about my love life. 

This is the "Spinster Chronicles" after all, so I guess I should comment on my non married life style. 

I am not dating.

The South is not a treasure trove of hot, metrosexual, wealthy, Mormon men. Which are just a few of my qualifications for a future husband. Other qualifications include: good dancer, have an accent, willing to cry on command, harry potter fan, employed, have a twin, be able to fix my car, and the ability to make me laugh- which is actually harder than it seems. Most of my laughter is polite and meaningless

I could both see myself and not see myself getting married in the next 10 years or so. I have a plan for both of these contingencies. 

Who doesn't want to find the love of their life? Who doesn't want to swept away in romance and then have a long and content life with someone? Have children and a home and someone to support them? 

I would love all of these things. 

However, I am kinda at peace with possibly not having them. 

I have been in love once. Not like "in a five year relationship then he broke my heart" kind of love. I guess 'intense infatuation" would probably be a better description. 

Songs and poems and life seemed to have so much more meaning and there were moments when I felt like I couldn't breathe. 

Anyway, I hope this update on my love life (or lack thereof) is all you could have wanted, Mrs. B Roth:)

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.
