you need one

I've started and stopped probably eight posts this week; I'm inspired by so many things around me but nothing is translating into words. Certainly, I've managed to fail at posting a list each day this month. The April theme for nablopomo will be letters - enticing.

On Wednesday night, we tried racquetball for the first time and I loved it! Admittedly, I'm not great, but that was just fine. I hope we can play again soon.

On Thursday, I ate lunch in a park. Alone - oh, the solitude! It was a delicious experience. I think I may throw a sheet in my trunk for spontaneous picnic stops along my routes during the work week.

Come Friday, I had coffee with a friend. And I bought quite a few things at A. C. Moore, which just opened (hallelujah!). I had many accurate intuitions on Friday, as well. I correctly assumed the woman that kept driving by our house was the former owner who I never met (she looked happy, which is important I tell you!) - I knew it had to be her; a neighbor confirmed it. Said neighbor has a lot of garage sales (one a month) and when I saw all of her things under a blue tarp last night I said to Steve, tomorrow is garage sale Saturday! He disagreed. Guess what?! Garage sale!

My younger sister turns 22 today, Saturday, March 29th. She was born on a Saturday and I remember it perfectly. I was at my grandparents' house (technically I was outside their home, running on the sidewalk) and my grandpa answered the phone and handed it to my older sister first (mom's instructions). Our only question: brother or sister? SISTER! SISTER! SISTER! Woohoo, sisters. If you don't have one? Man, shoot! You need one.
