I seem to be on a kick lately. I am appreciating sights and sounds more than I ever used to. Today I was thinking about the sound of someones voice verses how they look. One of those random things that bother me fairly regularly is the band Muse. I love Muse. Every single time I listen to Muse, I think to myself what a sexy voice the singer, Matt Bellamy, has, but he does absolutely nothing for me looks-wise. It's actually really frustrating to me. Anyway, this reminds me of my phone crush at work. For years, I had a phone work relationship with this guy from my company. I really liked him, he was very nice and fair. If you needed help, he was always the best person to talk to. He had a great voice (he still does, but I don't get the opportunity to talk to him anymore) and I started to try and figure up what he looked like in my mind. I gotta say, I was sorely disappointed. He was still the super nice guy I'd been talking to, he was just a tad bit geeky too, bless his heart! Am I the only one that this has happened to? I just think it's a fun game to try and imagine what people look like based on their voice. The weirdest part is that I am rarely right.
Here is another strange Maggie-ism. I can like people based on their voice. For example (most of my examples are men, because I can't think of any women off the top of my head that I like their speaking voice), Josh Gates from Destination Truth. I freaking LOVE his voice. I can sit through the show because his voice is so appealing to me. I mean, he's not unattractive physically, but his voice is so interesting to me. Another man's voice I adore is Scott Speedman. Thankfully, he is just as hot as his voice is. ;) I just think it is so neat how different things attract us to people.
As quickly as a voice can attract you, it can detract you. I would imagine we all have them, people you hate talking to strictly based on their voice. It really is all so bizarre!

Been a Long Time.....
I know I have been awful at updating my blog lately, but I figure there are only a few people that read it anyway, so no one is missing much!
So far, October has been MAD busy! The beginning of the month, a long lost cousin came to meet and visit everyone. It was amazing to finally put a face to the name of the person I had been texting for over three years. It was a little like Internet dating....you weren't sure if you were really excited or really nervous. All was good though because we hit it off just as well, if not better, than we did via text. During her visit, L came down with some strange flu. We had a little family gathering and L was quiet all night. He became more and more lethargic and eventually, he threw up on me. We thought it might have been related to him hitting his head twice pretty hard, so we ended up in the ER. Thankfully, there was no head injury, most likely just the flu as well as an earache. While we were sitting in the hospital room, L gradually started looking better and becoming his normal self. He was a little quiet for the next two days, then back with a vengeance. On Thursday of that same week, my mom, L, and I headed to Columbus. L and I were meeting up with one of my best friends from college and mom was meeting up with my brother and his family. Amazingly enough, my friend (well, her sister) and my brother live really close to each other, so it worked out perfectly. We went to Easton to walk around and have dinner. We had a really great time enjoying the nice evening and finding the Lego Store for L!
During the week, we heard from yet ANOTHER cousin that he was going to be coming to Wooster to visit the coming weekend. This cousin is from Germany and is working in IN for four months and figured it would be cool to come visit his American cousins since we weren't too far away (FIVE hours....we heard about those FIVE hours quite often! Hahaha) We had a blast with him! Took him to eat some good American pizza, my friend and I took him to a barn party and bar hopping so he could same as much American beer as he could, and we took him to pick out pumpkins. Halloween is a very American holiday and he was completely in shock at the amount of pumpkins! It was really fun.
L had another bad earache that happened on Friday and we had to take him to the doctors again on Saturday. Clearly, he is doing an earache every weekend kind of deal (he actually had one a week before we took him to the ER as well). Poor guy!
This week, we haven't had any visits from people out of town...which is kind of a nice break. This weekend, though, we have an important birthday party to attend!!! My niece is turning a year old! I swear, it is amazing how fast time flies! I'm very excited to see that little peanut! She is the cutest little doll baby ever!
Here's hoping November might bring a calm and normal weekend...though admittedly, I love all the happening and visits. It's so fun and keeps me on my toes!!!

Finding Beauty in Every Day Life
I can't pinpoint the exact time, but lately I've been noticing the beauty in the small things. While we were on vacation, I just felt so lucky to be alive and healthy, on vacation with my whole family, and enjoying the amazing weather. I had this overwhelming feeling of gratefulness. It was really cool. I don't want to say that before I never appreciated each day, it's more like I am taking notice in a different way.
My mom, L, and I were on our way home from Akron yesterday and it was an amazing fall day. Honestly, Ohio in the fall is unbelievable. The clouds were perfect, the sky blue, the fields were a vibrant green and yellow, the trees were bright orange, yellow, and red, there were purple flowers everywhere...everything was just right! I was pointing this out to my mom and she said something to me that was a pretty great compliment in my opinion....she said "it's like you are starting to see things like an artist". And I am. I notice how things would make a great picture or a wonderful painting. It is like my creativity is expanding, which is super cool!
