September 30, 2005

easy for you to say

Entries in your journal for the last several days have mused on the state of your relationships. Reading back over the last few pages, you
1. Realize many of your significant relationships need work -- forgiveness, attentiveness, fullness -- and you commit to doing something about it through therapy, increased communication, or whatever it takes.
2. Think it's time to move on to another topic.
3. Discover you're doing a fair amount of complaining about the state of things; you decide to write more about it to figure out why.

How about all of the above?

I was taking this on-line quiz, called Are You Ready to Reinvent Yourself?, while Moo, having been forbidden to watch television, got around my edict by instead fooling around on his Mac, typing and getting it to read in a number of voices, "I heart boobies." He laughed maniacally, which made me laugh, which made me feel guilty for laughing and encouraging his use of the word "boobies," which made me wonder if reinvention is truly possible if you are amused by things you know are wrong.

This morning my boss was in my office and he and I were talking about wine and wineries in our area, and one in particular that he and his wife had visited; they had stayed at a bed and breakfast nearby. Perusing the vineyard restaurant's on-line menu and looking at photos of the inn's guest rooms I thought, "We could go there and spend a Saturday night." And then I thought, We?

This has been the hardest thing to stop doing: to stop thinking of myself in terms of two. It's not even like I thought "The Husband and I could..."; no, I just thought We. I guess I don't really need reinvention, I just need to pare down the guest list.
