the last time marina was in town she noticed an IV bag hanging over my bed (it’s for moo cow). she was rather horrified and declared it odd. i’d forgotten that it was odd because i’ve gotten so used to it, but now upon considering it in light of marina’s reaction, it is pretty weird to have an IV bag hanging over your bed.
i’m going somewhere with this.
christmas this year was odd with the addition of babies. they’re like IV bags over the bed except, you know, they’re babies clinging to a mother. they leave me wondering when i will become so accustomed to them that i won’t even notice anymore that they’re IV bags.
last night at jacob and lisa’s sushi party, i was telling them about my christmas and the house i stayed in. i kept adding one fantastical fact atop another. yes, i said, we stayed in an enormous house with 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a pool table, giant screen TV, foozball, and three living rooms. i continued with, my room had 2 couches, 2 beds, a private exterior door with mini porch, and a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. the house itself was on 30 acres of land and had it’s own waterfall–about 20 feet high. and i cuddled a 3 week old cougar cub.
