The Art of Conversating

On CBS Sunday Morning, there was a great piece about the dying art of conversation! I literally was complaining to another friend of mine about this very subject. I was saying that people hide behind email and text messaging as opposed to having real conversations face to face or even over the telephone. What can I say except that I'm somewhat of an old fashioned gal who actually listens and reviews body language as well as tone and inflection in one's voice. James Lipton, who was featured in the story, agrees with my same sentiment. Talk is cheap. Conversing is an art. I love watching Sunday morning...so informative and interesting. That's a show that one can converse about...LOL.

Today was one of those lazy days but I did get some stuff done. Of course I am avoiding mopping the floors as I absolutely hate doing this chore! I did dust, hang up photos, and somewhat fix the broken blind that has been down from the window for over a month. I also emailed those who contributed to the Christmas travel project. That was the idea I had to ask people to send me a song they feel personifies me. Ten people out of 20 responded. Not one repeat in song and the genres were far reaching. I will stop at the book store tomorrow to get my journal and start pasting in the lyrics in my new quasi journal/scrapbook. I spend about two hours emailing each person my song selection and reason also. Call it a unique Christmas gift. I can't believe I will be on a plane this Saturday! I can't believe in one week I will be a year older! Happy Birthday in advance to me.

Oh...total sidebar...the other night, I literally was laughing in my sleep. I woke up knowing that I had been laughing out loud. I can never prove it since there was nobody sleeping next to me but I know I was laughing. LOL. The night before I had a dream that I was handing P. Diddy some change as he was driving by in his car. After doing so he made a U-turn and drove off. I have the strangest celebrity dreams. That, paired with meeting several celebrities this year, has made my life somewhat more interesting these days. Maybe it's a precursor to me becoming a well known person. Are my dreams telling me that I too will be wealthy and famous one day? I hope so. Anyway, I better go. Busy week ahead. Will try to get in at least three posts before I go.
