Today I am just going to babble. (weird, oh wait I always do)
And steal quotes from Juno for my blog post title.
Today I was having a text convo with Markee Jo.

Today I was having a text convo with Markee Jo.
I just added her picture for effect.
She's such a lovely friend of mine..
With SUPER green eyes.
I love her.
Anyway.
She told me she has never thought about waking up in the future.
What?
And so I sat around for at least 2 minutes and couldn't believe she hasn't thought of such a thing..
Am I the only one? I thought to myself in silence as I went about my day testing eyeballs..
I think it would be epic (remember how I am trying to NOT use the word epic, its harder then I thought it would be, epic fail.) to be able to wake up & spend an entire day in the future, in my future.
Lets say I wake up 5 years from today.
I would be 32.
I would have way more cellulite, I understand the risks.
It would be worth it.
So..
What on earth would that day be like?
What shoes would I be wearing?
What bed would be sleeping in?
Where would I be working?
What town would I be waking up in?
Would I be more comfortable in my skin?
Would I have caved in at this point in my life & have started working out?
Would I finally give up caffeine?
What if I woke up in Europe, and I actually spoke fluent Italian?
What if I woke up on a perfect winter day, with snow falling so softly, covering all the errors of the earth.
What if I woke up on the hottest day in the world, discovering I am still in the desert?
What if I woke up a hop-skip & a smile away from the ocean?
What if there was a gosh dang baby on my hip, and that gosh dang baby just so happened to belong to me?
What if I had a super perfectly fit husband all for myself?
What would I think of the choices I had been making thus far?
What would my memories consist of?
Would I regret some of those years, like uh 2011 just for a flawless example:)
I guess this blog is just one giant confession.
But if I don't live to be 32.
I don't wanna know.
Or maybe I do.
Would you?
And for the record, I know that there are some really optimistic human beings out there, that are all "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT!!!" YEA!...
I hear you..
I am just curious.
I would only live in the future for a day.
For the totally useless record, and then I would come back.
And if I didn't like my future, I would change my present..
Simple, unrealistic wishing really.
8 This Is Where You Click To Type At Me:
What a great thing to ponder and I just love the way you write...fun and entertaining! Great picture of your friend too...great green eyes indeed! Hmmm...wonder if I would want to time travel or know about the future and although there are moments when I think, yes, maybe a glimpse could be fun, I think deep down I would rather not know either and just live until I live and see where it takes me! Side note, loving lots of the music that starts playing on your player...love discovering some new songs too!

Speaking of Juno...
Can't we just, like, kick this old school? Like, I have the baby, put it in a basket and send it your way, like, Moses and the reeds?
Technically, that would be kicking it Old Testament.
...So, we all agree that a closed adoption is the best decision for all involved?
Juno: SSHHIT! YES! Close it up!
*End scene*
So good. And I'm with Markee Jo--never thought of waking up in the future. But now I have. You changed that. Look at you--changing the world through babbling. I feel like there's another Bible reference in here somewhere ;)

Something I've really never thought of either...
I hope I'm out of Massachusetts. OH MAN.
O golly. I don't know if i could hack this travel shiz. BTW.. that markee...is a piece of work. LOL i like her. :)
What if I woke up on a perfect winter day, with snow falling so softly, covering all the errors of the earth.
That is my favorite line...so poetic. Love it.
Live in the now and be as happy as you can be....because really that is all there is. But...thinking about just one day is fun.
I love you more....
You may use Epic too much...I just ...........too much. Ever noticed?
Oh mom, thanks. I liked my little line too.. :)
Once more for the record, I LOVE your music choices on your blog player...I've had it open all day just listening to the music! :) Thank you for such a lovely mix!!!
Liesl :)
