While I thoroughly enjoyed being back East around family and friends, home just has a special vibe that cannot be replicated. So I am soaking up the pleasure of mi casa today. Piddling around (country term which means doing nothing), thinking about doing laundry, resting, unpacking very slowly, and putting up Christmas decorations while Star Wars-The Phantom Menace plays in the background. I really like the fight scene with Qui Gon Jinn, Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. Makes me wish I had a light saber. I can see myself flipping, using the force and working my light saber like Obi Wan! I want a cool Star Wars name too. Something royal like Princess Leia... Princess Shar! Can you come help me wind my hair in two big circles on either side of my head, please? I found some Star Wars Random Name Generators, but their ideas were not as good as Princess Shar LOL!
In continued random news, I discovered my first gray hair. I found two, actually and I'm really excited about em!!! You know, the whole wiser-better-stronger thing!
