I is for Idea

My blood boils and freezes today. I am hot, then cold. My stomach churns, twirls, and loop-d-loops. Dizziness spreads from deep within my brain to my legs so the motion moves from my stomach to my head to my feet. My back muscles are sore from... nothing. My eyes are heavy with sleep and my thoughts are fuzzy. I feel as if I'm getting sick and I don't like it.

I used a computer program to see which author my writings are like, one entry came up with a young adult author, but a second sampling came up with Kurt Vonnegut. What a lovely compliment. I adore Vonnegut's irreverent and sassy writings. This second sampling made me want to return to the blogger I was of yore. So, this is my I for Idea. I am going to try. That's it. Just try.

I am listening to an awful book on CD in the car but it is making want to shoot archery again. I haven't done this since junior high gym class. I've never figured out why they give bows and arrows to teenagers. But they did and it was fun. The Boy looked into some archery lessons for me, but at the time our finances didn't allow for such extravagances. They still don't really, but I'm turning 30 soon and I feel like I need to get of my Things to Do in Life done.

I can't believe I'll be 30 in a few weeks. It seemed like a birthday that was so far away and yet here it is. 30 seems like I should have had some much done in life, but I have no real idea as what all those cool things are.

But here are my ideas for being 30
