I've done nothing but have fun lately. Long trips, short trips, day trips, night trips, one fish, two fish, red fish, and so forth. This past weekend, I went to Nacogdoches. Friday night was Gabe and Casey's wedding. Of all the weddings I've been to, it was the only outdoor wedding I've attended. Of course, April and October are pretty much the only hope for good outdoor-wedding weather in this region and I must say it worked out well. It was a tad chilly - as in 55 degrees or so - but it was a nice ceremony and a fun reception.
Saturday, Aaron and I drove to Houston and went to the Astros/Braves game. We were there with 43,757 other fans (record crowd) and I have to say, it was the most fun I've ever had at a pro-game. The crowd was so intense and excited. Super. Fun. I didn't even regret driving back to Nac in the wee hours of the night. I was not sorry to be a day too early for the 18 inning legend, either. That's just too much of a good thing.
Despite all the good times, I am (as mentioned in the title) in the middle of my bi-annual funk, which is not as fun as it sounds. Every six months or so, I have a case of the blues (depression seems like too strong a term) that just takes me a while to snap out of. I went through this in April and it eventually just went away. I think more sleep would help, but then when it's time for bed, I can't sleep. I want to talk to a friend about it, but then when I have the chance to bring it up, I just can't do it. I can't pull myself together. To top it all off, I'm wearing an ugly skirt today, which doesn't help matters. Why did I put it on? It just seemed like the thing to do. Bad idea.
Okay, I'll stop whining now because really, life is good.
Incidentally, if I ever start a band, "Bi-annual Funk" will be considered as a possible band name.

Is the skirt really that ugly, or is it the innocent target of your ill feelings? If it makes you feel better, I've never seen you in something truly ugly.
Posted by: Emily at October 12, 2005 06:45 AMEither the skirt is ugly or it just doesn't look right on me. It never seems so bad hanging in my closet, but everytime I wear it, I say I'm never going to wear it again. It was a SteinMart clearance rack purchase. I should just give it away.
