Being Blonde

-
I literally had to Google how to spell the word "Blonde". Is it with an "e"? Does no "e" mean it's not a possessive pronoun? Hold on - what's a possessive pronoun again?

I loved English class in High school. That Mr. Nukula, what a teacher. Really knew his stuff. I think that's the first place I developed a love for classic literature. That, and I had a crush on the guy a few desks over. Nevermind. Being a teacher is hard work.

I'd rather study marine creatures. Haha! Those pale, funny whale/dolphins with squishy heads are adorable! I'm sure they have a scientific name...I should Google tha - oh, delphinapterus leucas a.k.a. beluga. What a cool name!

My second child's middle name should be Beluga. Of course, his first name will be Dominic. I picked that name out when I was seven. Funny how much I liked being seven...

Such is the life of a blonde.

Only me can call me blonde.
It's more of a burnt brown color...oops.

Maybe I can still get away with it.

It's been a week and a half  since we landed in the Land of Enchantment. Yes, we're back! I gotta be honest. New Mexico is...different than England. I could fill a blog with the differences between the two. But, for the sake of travel writers and my own fingers, I won't. All I know is, life is different now that we're back. But different isn't bad. Being back means a whole lotta things can happen. Or not happen. Back means starting new things, or catching up on old things. Back means going after dreams not yet realized before, or continuing dreams pursued before. Back means meeting new people, or getting to know old friends better. Back means big choices or little decisions.  What's the first thing you do when you get back (from anywhere)?

Memorial Day:  A federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.  ---- I recently got a text from a dear friend that reminded me that we all fight and serve a kingdom much more than the U.S.  Let me illuminate what I mean.  We humans live and die for a cause that is so much more than fighting in other countries for freedom.  We humans live and die for a cause that is so much more than our own peace and prosperity .  We humans life and die to bring about God's kingdom. Now, we may or may not be warring against physical forces,  but we all face and must fight against spiritual forces in our daily lives.  There are those of us who have lost loved ones in that cause,  or even know beloved friends and family on the front lines of this ongoing war.   I haven't lost a brother in the armed forces fighting for the United States of Ame...

Childhood dream! Okay, okay, so it's not Broadway. It's actually London's West End. But that doesn't mean it doesn't count. You remember those childhood dreams you wrote down in your diary? The entries that read something like, "When I'm older (older, meaning 12) I want to travel to Australia and see a live Koala..." or the simpler entry you, age 12, wrote about becoming a grown up "I want to be a brain surgeon someday." I've never been to Australia. And that's okay with me. I can't discount things I've experienced in my lifetime just because they don't exactly meet my diary criteria. I remember going to the Albuquerque Zoo with my family and seeing a live Koala for the first time. I think I cried. Viewing that darling, fuzzy Koala face through the glass was enough for me. I will never become a brain surgeon (I've talked about my aversion to blood in other posts) And that's okay with me. I am p...
