Random Thoughts from a Large Head

My little sister (on the right) turns 24 today.

About a month ago, I was interviewed by Eric Glasser for a story on blogging. The feature should air tonight in the 9:00 news on KDFW Fox 4. Tune in!

At Karen’s rehearsal dinner, Tina smiles while Dan frightens the camera, causing all sorts of weird color effects.

DFW represents at Jason and Julie’s wedding. From left to right, based on head location: Honorary DFW’er M-D, Bryan, Lyn, Tina (with her head to the side likely talking to Karen), Connie, Amanda, John, Michael, Thomas, Jason, Christine, Josh, Leah, Erica.

Jason’s sister, Maid of Honor Melissa, switched shoes after the reception to go out on Sixth Street in Austin. An amused Erica looks on.

I’ve jumped the gun on my wardrobe this year.

I get so excited about wearing flip-flops that I put them on as soon as the weather hits 60°. Once my toes are exposed, it’s hard for me to put socks and real shoes back on.

After the flipflops come skirts and short-sleeved shirts.

Pretty soon, I’m wearing summer clothes and I’m comfortable in them at 70°.

I realized today, with the temperatures near 80°, this isn’t a good plan. 90°plus days are just around the corner and I’m already wearing the lightest of my weekday clothes.

What I should be doing is wearing sweaters and staying as warm as I can so that when it is 98°, I can wear my flipflops and skirts and be as cool as a cucumber.

Unfortunately, my toes have already been allowed to breathe. I guess I will just email February 2005 Leia and tell her to keep the flipflops in the closet until May.
