Alone

"Adults, just like children, have an innate desire to connect emotionally with another human being. Our brains are wired for attachment." - Todd Olson, Church News

I think my brain is a little over-wired for attachment. I don't like being alone for anything over a couple of hours tops. I have spent the past weekend up here alone. I had to come up early for work. I have come to the conclusion that the thing I hate the very most is... being alone.

Constant silence with no human beings around = Kourtney going stir crazy!!

Yes, I have had my TV on the disney channel on in the other room the entire weekend. Why? Because that is what is always on at home and I couldn't stand the quiet here any longer!

Saturday, I went running past a park and saw a few little families sledding. I ended up walking past them because I could share in their fun longer if I walked, instead of running past.

Pathetic? Yes. Even slightly exaggerating? Nope.

Conclusion: I want LOTS of kids someday and I want ALL the neighbors to play at my house so it's never quiet!

(I might regret this statement someday... but I'll just read this and remember how much I hate QUIET... and then run and hide!)

Thank goodness I finally have a roommate again!!!

Yet another reason why we are practically the same person. Next time, give me a ring! I'm certainly down with keeping each other company :)

Ok we will be neighbors and rotate whose house is bursting with every kid in a 5 block radius. That way we can have our moments of peace when we get everything done. Brett even likes to be warn all year round just like you so mesa area here we come.
