Fragmenting my thoughts
1) Or have they been fragmented all this time? My friends say that I have a mind that is opposite of a steel trap - I go from one subject to another. Perhaps a mild form of Adult ADD - but I think its the caffienated drinks - Coffee, Cappucinos, Mountain Dew, and mellow Yellow. I *have* been trying to cut down on these - but if I don't have any I will fall asleep by 1pm.

1.5) I vividly remember in one of my creative writing classes form years ago that memory should be seen as a large storehouse of information. What you have is a dog - name him whatever you would like - and he is there to fetch your information for you. Well, some people may have overactive dogs, some dogs may be deaf or just plain lazy. I believe my fetching dog chases his tail more often than my information.

1.53) Cats wouldn't be much better I suppose.

2) What am I going to do with myself for the next month and a half? I have no classes - I have perhaps the one livingroom to redecorate downstairs and then I guess Holly wants me to help redo her bedroom in town. She is getting older and needs her own life away from her younger syblings.

3) I have to remind myself to watch Monk this Friday - I have a fascination with strange people apparently. Lets list off those favorite actors of mine:
Bruce Willis
Vin Diesel
Tony Shaloub - Monk guy
Peter Falk - Columbo guy (If I could meet him in person I would cry - he is an old favorite of mine and I'd want to adopt him as part of the family)

3.5) There I go with lists again - can't help it.

4) Some people say I am anal - which is an interesting way to describe someone who likes things listed and in order - which apparently I get from my Dad. As I was redecorating my moms guest/computer room I ran into folders he had filed before he passed away and they list off every single thing my mom and he bought in the last 10 years or so. And some of this stuff we don;t have anymore. So, I do have that project yet, to go through and start organizing what files we need or don't need. He even made a 3-ring binder named "Tools List" and listed and categorized with ID numbers all the tools he had in the garage.

4.5) Although, in his line of work he did have to take his stuff with him back and forth (model maker) - so he probably used it for something. It is heartbreaking to get rid of the things he had worked so hard on. I keep telling mom to just keep the main important things and then let the other things go (its been 5 years) and make the space livable by giving her more room.
