worlds
I am awake. Right now. At 2:45AM. Why? Because Kara Goucher is running the marathon at IAAF World's.
And I'm not alone. I am watching it online with Kath, via Skype. I LOVE the internet.

life
Maybe it's just today.
Maybe it's listening to the Swell Season's new single.
Maybe it is Baby Stubblefield's hiccoughs.
Whatever it is I am overwhelmed by the beauty of life. Don't get me wrong, I know there is ugliness and pain and hurt alive and rampant in this world.
But today, TODAY I am overwhelmed by the beauty of life. Of creating life. Of new life. Of journeying through life.

listen
So I’m at work listening to recently uploaded Daytrotter sessions and I find myself wondering what people think when they hear the music I listen to. Do they think I have horrid taste in music? Then I wonder, “do I have horrid taste in music!?” To which I quickly respond, “NO. I have fabulous taste in music.” Then I start to think that perhaps the generic-almost-anyone-even-William-Hung-can-get-a-record-deal-these-days music culture / sound is ruining the eardrums of the masses.

LIZZY AND DAVE ARE HAVING A BABY.
My dear, sweet cousinsisterbestfriend and her loving, wonderful husband are having a BABY.
I am BEYOND ecstatic, and my heart gets all full and my eyes fill with tears if I think about this wonderful life they are bringing into this world for much longer than five seconds.
I burst into tears when she told me. And then I shrieked and squealed and screamed for another few minutes.
Because when I think about this baby I don't just think about the wonderful blessing s/he will be to her/his parents or the blessing they will be to her/him. I think about the history Lizzy and I have. I think about what it means to have her as my cousinsisterbestfriend and to have her present for all but one year five months and nine days of my life. I think of our history, our family history and the strong bonds that we all share. And I am moved to tears and laughter because this is where we get to pass it on.
Sweet Benby [the nickname given to Baby Canales as they don't yet know if it is a boy or a girl, so it is a combo of the names they've chosen] and little Jonah get to be the first of this next generation to share these bonds we've been dreaming of passing on for so long.
