Walking Oxy-Morons



I don't really have a good reason for blogging today except I felt like babbling a bit. There is a fly buzzing around in my room and starting to annoy me but I'm too lazy to do something about it. So why not do some blogging instead?

That picture is from last weekend when we went to see The Music Man. It was definitely amusing. Hehe....aMUSing...ok nevermind. Ok to make up for a bad joke I will reveal a deep and dark truth about myself: In most plays no matter how much I like them, I always get a little bored for about half an hour towards the end. I don't really know the explanation for this phenomenon, as I love plays and particularly musicals. I love them; I crave them; I enjoy them. Except for the part where I get really bored towards the end.

But I guess we are all walking oxy-morons at heart. Not that our hearts can walk. Ok maybe that didn't come out right. I just think that in the core of my being, and probably yours too, there are a lot of things that completely contradict each other. Walt Whitman did a pretty good job of explaining that.

Hmm that's a pretty profound thought. I should develop it sometime.

Tejas

I don't really understand how it is that I spent the whole miserable winter in Denmark, and now while it's really nice in Denmark, I'm spending the whole miserable hot summer in Texas. Well, I do understand...it's because the Danish government won't let me apply to live in their country again until I've been gone for 90 days. Why? Beats me. Luckily when we found out, we hadn't sent out the invitations yet, and nobody had bought their plane ticket yet (except us, and luckily we were able to change it easily). So now we're getting married August 15th. Beside the fact that it's flippin hot here and I miss my fiance like no other, it's actually a good development. Because: it means I have more time to plan the wedding, to make money, Morten can be an EFY counselor, I can spend more time with my family before I leave the country again, and we can actually have a honeymoon of sorts before we go back to DK because Morten's summer job will be over by then. So it was actually a good development if you look at it in a practical way. And it's not that much longer....I will be getting married 60 days, 5 hours, and 30 minutes from now actually. Which is not so bad.....

Yes I'm trying to convince myself. I don't know if it's working. But I'll keep trying.

Other than missing my fiance and Denmark, it's great to be back home.
