Let’s Chat

Anyone out there know of any really good conversation fodder? I mean the type of fodder that will keep a nine year old conversation going. The type of interesting anecdotes that will engage a listener after you just finished talking about the color of grass for two hours. I’ve got nothing.

That’s one really frustrating part of life, to me. It’s so easy to run out of things to talk about. Times where the thing you want most is to really connect with someone and finally have the time, but you were so focus on making the time you forgot you’d need something to connect over. I believe that’s what they call irony.

Then again, talking about anything seems interesting after talking about grass.

The Lake

I’m here at the lake with kate and ella. They are the funniest two things you could ever imagine. One minute they’re running a million miles an hour chasing each other, the next they’re asleep. What’s even more funny is that they forget all about running and playing outdoors as soon as I go inside. Then they switch into good, old, never-leave-your-side dogs. I’m sure the prospect of food has nothing to do with it.

At the same time, though, I did drive an hour out if my way to go back and get my wallet on the way down here, since I packed super-lite and forgot it. The prospect of no money for food did have something to do with it.
