Hello Bloggers!! Hope all is well with you guys! I decided to write some stuff well I was traveling today and this is what I came up with! But I first a little bit of business to take care of!
First off, I realized when I got to my Dad's house that I have all my pictures with me. So this is another one of the pictures that I took when I was driving the kids around. I like it because it has a guitar in it.
Second off, the song. It is from "Bottle it Up" by Sara Bareilles. I think that the lyrics are pretty fun. And the tone is catchy. That is all.
So I am off to Kansas today. Mom is graciously letting me borrow her mini for the week. Michael put a few TV shows and a couple of movies for my viewing pleasure. It is funny thinking about how all this technology is right at our finger tips today. I remember when I was little and they first started to put the mini TVs in the cars. I always wanted mom to buy one. ALWAYS. As I get older I realize more and more how awful all this technology is… (yes as I sit here in the airport typing on the mini.) But really. We are so disconnected from one another and it is heartbreaking. There is always something stopping us from conversations. And I’m talking true heartfelt conversations, not the text messaging or the email or even the occasional long phone conversation.
I just boarded the first of two plans and true story there is a personal TV on the back of each of the seats and I was just informed that this is a brand new plane. I feel safe. I do hope that I continue to feel that way throughout the flight. So back to the disconnect - For some reason we feel this need to always have something distracting us from the people around us, like me right now. I am sitting on a plane and I could talk to the person next to me or I could continue typing away on the mini… I prefer to continue with the mini because I really am not that outgoing when I don’t have to be. Apparently there is wifi on this plane as well… I will have to check that out once we get this show on the road.
So back to that statement from earlier about wanting the cars with the TVs. I hope to never own one of those. I also don’t really want to own a portable DVD player. I wouldn’t mind having a mini of my own, but that is just a dream. And that is also only if I really have a need for it. I don’t really need one if I will never be traveling, but if I do I want one. But my point by saying that is I don’t want my children to grow up with those things. I want my children to learn how to communicate with people without the use of text messaging and talking to people in the car instead of watching a movie or TV show. I hope this isn’t a ridiculous thought. I know most of the time people end up buying those things because they want to just keep the kids quiet until they get to the next place, but what happen to talking to our kids?
I’m getting way ahead of myself here. I’m not married, or anywhere close to dating someone to have kids. And trust me I want to be married. I was talking to a friend of mine last night before I went to bed. She was suppose to be married by now but things change and they ended up calling off the wedding. She was upset because she does miss the thought of him. The thought of being married and starting a family of her own. That is something that she desires. That is something I desire. I want to get married and I want children. It is starting to get difficult to go places and see little babies because I have gotten to the point where I actually want one. I know. Me. Kira. I want a child. I know that I am not fully ready, but the wait is getting hard. And talking with my friend last night I had to explain to her that it is worth the wait, but at the same time I am struggling to accept that for myself. Honestly, I can talk all day about how much I know that God has something bigger than I can image in store for me, but it is sometimes hard to believe that this true. I know it has a lot to do about trusting but I struggle with trusting people I know. Which in hand makes me struggle with trusting God. And I show that mainly by not sharing with Him what I need and letting Him take care of it. But I am trying.
I’m in the Atlanta airport now and I really wish that they had free wifi here. They kind of had it on the plane, but the ride was less than an hour so I decided that it wasn’t worth it. I got to rain the train to my next gate and there were some little kids that thought it was a good idea to scream as soon as the train started. I have learned through this that I am not a world traveler because it frightens me to lose my way in the airport. And I have to say that I am super duper tired right now because I got absolutely no sleep last night and I have no idea why.
Just to check back with my statement about electronics from before - I’m happy to say that the family in front of me that consists of two children (and two parents) do not have any electronics. The kids are really just sitting there with their parents. I don’t see a DS in sight. Or a portable DVD player. That is refreshing. The dad just made a football out of a napkin and they are playing football. This is really presh and refreshing. I think going to find a Dr. Pepper is in my near future as well. I wish that Chick-fil-a was. That would be lovely.
On to the next plane. Apparently I can get free wifi, but I can’t figure it out and I really don’t want to. I want to go back to bed in fact. I feel as though I should be sleeping. I think once I get to my dad’s I will be taking a nice long nap. Dr. Pepper isn’t helping either. I really want it to help. I don’t want to sleep anymore. I’m watching The Big Bang Theory. This show is hilarious!! I love it. But not as much as I absolutely love 10 things I Hate About You! This is my all time favorite movie... Ok… that is a fail because I want to type and I can’t hear it. So I’m switching to the iPod. I have a feeling that soon I will not have an iPod because I think mine is slowly dieing… but until than I will use it. And since I found a place to charge the iPod in ATL it is actually working.
Oh here is something that I didn’t mention. I’m going to Kansas (that I did mention) but I didn’t mention why. For those of you who don’t know my dad moved to Topeka, KS… and I am going to see him. Right now I am on my last flight to get there. I will arrive in Kansas City, MO. It would be fun to live in Missouri and call it MO. I don’t know anything about the state and I don’t have any desire to want to move there, but it would be fun. Apparently there is 5 inches of snow in Kansas City… that is what I heard from the couple sitting next to me on this plane, when they were talking to whoever is picking them up.
So because I still have like an hour on the plane I want to touch on the fact that I keep having the WEIRDEST dreams (that is when I actually get sleep). Is anyone out there a dream expert? Because there is a person that is repeatedly in my dreams, and I don’t really understand it because I have not seen said person since the beginning of December… I think. I might not have seen this person in December at all. Also, I have been having a lot of dreams about MLC lately too. Sadly those have been nightmares for the most part… ha ha… oh that is shocking… NOT! That is a little bit harsh, but really. I have to mention again. It was a great experience, but I don’t want to go back. I really feel the need to play the guitar right now. Maybe I can talk my dad into buying himself a guitar that I can play for the week… not happening. I just know.
...Ok I'm off to actually be social now.
