Today Jimmy discovered the world of paint. We went out and bought clear glass plates, and I helped him put his hand and fingerprints on them (with the paint, he had no problem putting fingerprints on them without!) and then I let him add his own personal touches. My toddler began his own dinnerware line within minutes it was amazing. So his parents will have two signed originals when they come home today. It was fun. We also discovered the fun of shaving cream, which was more amusing for me than him. I put some on this tray, and he just stared at it, when I put his hands in it he about had a nervous break down. I think it scared him. He thought I had turned his hands into marshmallows or something. So we'll have to try it again another time. Yes I am slowly becoming super nanny, just don't call me Mary Poppins!
I decided to go try a new restaurant yesterday. I visited the Sante Fe Depot Diner, and it was good eatin let me tell you! Great food, great prices, and the waitresses called you sweetie, hunny bunny, and other forms of sappy endearments. But the thing I noticed the most was how odd it felt to eat alone in a sit down type place. I've only done it one other time and I don't really count it because there were only two other people in the restaurant at the time, and it was in a hotel on my way out here. But I went in there yesterday, with my bookbag with my journal and Bible in it, and sat down at a table for two all alone. And I was fine with it. (yes I'm aware that I'm starting my sentences with and and but! ) People just stared at me as if my hair were plaid or something...it may have looked like that actually I need to dye it again! I ate my food, looked around a bit, wrote for awhile, enjoyed some time alone, and then left, but people were just staring the whole time. It was weird. I guess when I think about it, restaurants are generally places people go in at least pairs. The tables are normally set up for at least two people so it is a little weird to see someone sitting alone. But then I also thought about how it would be so out of our society's comfort zone to offer to sit with someone who was by themselves, or to invite them over to your table. Granted, nine times out of ten the person flying solo would decline the offer, maybe... We don't want to butt into people's lives, and that's probably okay, but I'm sure there are some people who are genuinely lonely out there who wouldn't mind if someone tried to butt in. I don't think I even would have objected to someone sitting down with me yesterday, it may have scared me a little at first knowing me. But it would have been nice to have someone to talk to. It's interesting that we are so into getting along with people, and giving peace a chance, and we would rather stare at person sitting alone in a restaurant than maybe reach out and try to get to know them. I think someday when I'm rich, famous, and have some time I will open up my own restaurant. I'll call it something cheesy like Table for two or more, or Two's company, three's even more...or something weird like that. People who come in alone would be seated with someone else who came alone, or with a pair or something. A restaurant that promotes getting to know people...hmmm.... It probably wouldn't last a week, but it's a fun thought. Someday...
Okay I've went on about that long enough, it was just one of my observations from yesterday, those happen from time to time. My brain does work in spurts! : ) Leavenworth is a good place to observe things. There are a lot of very interesting people here. I guess if you live in Kansas you have to do something to make it interesting.
Well Jimmy is napping, and it would be great if I could get a quick nap in as well before he wakes up more energetic than he was when he went down. If this ends up being the case, he will kill me before the day is out. So I will sign off here. I will try to be more frequent in my blogging. Try is the key word here!
