The Quiet Life of a Wandering Zeppelin @thewanderingzeppelin - Tumblr Blog

Going to a concert tonight

#I am excited but also #not confident in my ability to stay awake past my bedtime lol #I have been soooo sleepy lately!#and last night Kitty decided to have a murder party right outside the bedroom window #so something is out there squeaking and squealing #the dogs are going crazy #had to get up and catch the cat and lock her in the garage #I couldn't find whatever the critter was so maybe it got away #gotta start locking that cat up at night because she is nothing but trouble this time of year lol #at some point yesterday she brought a freshly dead rodent and left it in the dog yard #and Bonzo rolled in it and was covered in BLOOD #it was SO DISGUSTING!!!!

I have a new clothesline!!!

#having a clothesline is so important for my mental health #I have just been hanging everything on a temporary porch clothesline #which actually my husband kind of hates #because he thinks it looks trashy #but he puts up with it because he knows how important it is to me to have line-dried sheets lol #anyway we finally got the real clothesline up yesterday and I'm super stoked #also I am FINALLY DONE painting at the farmhouse!!!#woohoo!!!#except now I think I may be helping with cherry harvest so oh well

Saw a post that said something like, "Don't save ANYTHING for special occasions because being alive is a special occasion," and like, I get the sentiment. Don't buy stuff and shove it in a closet and wait for the perfect moment, because the perfect moment may never come yadda yadda But I also think that there actually is some value in having things for special occasions. When we used to go to Grandma's for a big family shindig and saw the GOOD plates out, it meant something. It made that meal more special, because those weren't the everyday plates. When people get dressed up for your event, it means something because those aren't their everyday clothes. When Mom would host little tea parties for us, with the fancy plates and Little Debbies cut into fancy shapes, it felt so special because it was an extra effort, something beyond the every day.

So I think a better attitude is maybe to lighten up on your standards for what constitutes a special occasion so that you don't just have a candle sitting there for ten years waiting for its moment - but also it's okay to save that candle for something specific, to give an extra lift to a certain moment, and to have some things that aren't just every day things.

#I dunno those are just my ramblings this morning #I feel like people just don't go through special efforts any more #and instead of it making everything special #now nothing is special #we're so self-indulgent all the time #and just embrace this attitude of instant gratification #instead of letting some things still be for special occasions

What [car] would you build a time machine out of?

an old VW Beetle because it wouldn't look out of place literally anywhere

Lancelot: Egad sire! Look at that. King Arthur: Hm, rare to see a VW Beetle this far north. Not impossible, mind.
