Love. Language. Ben.

Our language doesn't really allow us to put our emotions into words. There is the whole Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis that basically says that our thoughts are shaped by our language. With this comes a serious amount of restriction. We can't say a lot of things because our language simply doesn't allow it, or doesn't have the exact word for it. For example, the word we ALL cannot define is love. How on earth do you define LOVE!? There are so many types of love. So many emotions. I think Ben Folds captures one aspect of love through his song The Luckiest.

Listen to it here.
Lyrics are in the info bar.
I'm pretty positive my family is very familiar with this song. Just spreading the love for Ben Folds in the blogsphere.

Oh also, James and I are seeing Ben Folds in San Diego on May 21st. CHyeah!!

Egg Hunt

Our closer at work last night left us a note for the early morning workers. You can read it here:



I just wish I had taken a picture of the 4 of us adults at 7am on the prowl for plastic eggs. When I left at 2pm, we had 18 of 24 eggs found. What a fun (and still exhausting) day at work!

In Love!!

With my new sandals. Hello, lover!

I guess these will have to replace my beloved black leather flip flops that I lost over a cliff in Mazatlan last week. And I only owned them for a few months...RIP, flip flops.
