Random thoughts

Because I can't think of anything substantive to write about.

• There is a nest of bunnies in our garden. Except I looked out the window just now and the bunnies are gone. I hope Eliza and I didn't scare them off this morning. I also hope something didn't just eat them. Anyway, I was equally bothered and pleased that bunnies decided to seek shelter in our garden. Bothered because I want them to not eat tomato plants that will be going in soon, and pleased because of course I'm not going to be an asshole and kick them out. Freeloading bunnies.
• Costco at 10 AM on a weekday is a thoroughly pleasant experience, even though they don't have free samples out.
• Eliza can count to 13. I don't even know how she figured that out. She will frequently skip a number or two, but you know what she's doing and it's amazing.
• Also, I have yet to buy the giant box of frozen cream puffs at Costco. BUT I WANT TO EVERY TIME I GO IN THERE. I have also successfully avoided the Giant Pies.
• The weather is all screwed up in this country. Apparently there's a drought in Oklahoma and flooding in southern Illinois. I don't understand why we can just have weather swapsies. This spring has sucked ass.
• I am having dreams that I need to incorporate more of my masculine traits into my consciousness. I don't know what my psyche thinks isn't masculine about getting poop all over your hands when you change a diaper, or read a Dr. Seuss book four times in a row. But seriously, this is giving me food for thought and I'm seeking some more clarity on this issue.
• The death of Osama Bin Laden made me sad. Not that he's dead, I'm thrilled about that and am glad he was killed rather than captured, but I was sad to think about how this one man has so negatively impacted my generation. Of course, our government could have chosen a different course of events, but my generation was dragged into two wars and has struggled economically, in large part to that asshole's actions. What would our lives be like if September 11 never happened? Where would that $3 trillion have gone? To education or green energy or technology? How much smarter would we be?
• I should have bought those cream puffs.
