The Force Awakens - Cape Style

December 21, 2015/ K Jax

Ok, so who went and saw the new Star Wars this weekend? I confess that my husband and I did, and have had our tickets since they first went on sale weeks ago. I personally could have waited, but the one thing my husband is geeky about is Star Wars, and he was literally like a kid at Christmas time all last week counting down. We were almost derailed on our Star Wars viewing journey in that I got sick the night before we were supposed to go, but I was feeling better the next day and we made it to our showing. Usually my husband love the trailers before movies, but he said for the first time ever they couldn't end fast enough, LOL. He was cute.

Feeling Pretty

November 16, 2015/ K Jax

I was contemplating last night the issue of outgrowing one's dreams. Not that you outgrow them and they are no longer your dreams, but that your physical growth - either in size or age - makes your dreams no longer plausible for you. For example: I have always loved horses. When I was very young, I wanted a job that let me ride horses for a living. I wanted to be a horse jockey. Then I grew to be 5'11", and clearly there is no way that specific dream could be a reality. Fortunately, it was also a dream I outgrew in that I no longer wanted to be a jockey by the time I was 5'11", so that worked itself out.
