Today I was thinking a lot about people in my life. Ok, so mostly guys. But then instead of dwelling on certain guys I started putting them in chapters.
There's that saying that goes something like "Love is only a chapter in a guy's life, but for a girl its the whole book." This is where I got my chapter idea.
But I didnt put just guys in chapters, I started putting my whole life in chapters by categories.
The interesting but cool thing about all this chapter-ing is that the chapters overlap not just intercategory, but also intracategory.
For instance in boys there is Timmy-3rd grade through 8th, Nathan-homeschooling and 9th grade, Will-9th grade through 11th grade, etc. etc. I'm not going to elaborate further just yet.
There are school chapters.
The brother chapters- living with both brothers, living with just one, having them both moved out and married. Which leads into the nieces and nephew chapters.
Theres the chapter that includes my grandma Carnes, and the chapter of her decline, and now the chapter now that shes gone. Side note: I watched home videos today- I saw the video of my first steps and my grandma was there and she was talking, and hearing her voice made me cry. Oh man, I am going to cherish these tapes.
Here's to organizing my life by chapters, I am having fun with it so far, and it gets me off of thinking about J. Because lets face it, thats who I was thinking about when I started my chapter-ing!
