A FUN B-DAY & A CASE OF THE RAMBLES

Danny's working on pictures of Lu's play because they need to be lightened. I forgot to tell our neighbor, who is quite a bit taller than I am and was kind enough to take the pictures for me, to turn on the flash....oops! The pix above are from the Corvette Diner for Danny's birthday. I know my eyes are closed in the one of our entire family but I still thought it was cute. I know everyone will appreciate Danny's hat!

As for the rambles, well, I always knew I was not a gigantic fan of talking on the phone (specifically cell) but I think I have had some kind of epiphany about it all recently. I especially seem to have difficulty talking to those that live far away. I always feel like there's not enough time to catch up on everything and so I try and cram way too much into one conversation. I sound like I'm on speed! Ok, I think I sound like that anyway but more so...if that's possible. I am also trying to get over my fear of silence. I always feel like I should fill the gap quickly or else! Or else what? I don't exactly know, I've never waited long enough to find out. Worst of all, my rambling does not allow me to come across as the most intelligent person. This bothers me because I am so very capable of having an un-coffee fueled, non tweaker sounding and even rather intelligent conversation. I will say there are people I feel more comfortable with. Most people would agree with that though. We all feel more comfortable with those people that are the "regulars" in our life. I guess I just wish I didn't put so much pressure on myself to be perfect, which is what I think causes me to ramble at times. Maybe that communication minor will do me some good. Either that or I will be a very well educated rambling idiot!
