something that i always think about and can never figure out the answer to is how did the english language (or any language) come about? did all the cavemen have a big meeting about what to call different things? if so, then how did they convey the need for a meeting without words? or did one person just decide on some words? how did it catch on? how did we even decide on one word for a certain thing and how did we come up with words for for things you can't show, like "love"? how did letters and words and complicated languages come about?
one more thing...who came up with the word "lanyard"? of every word in the english language that doesn't sound like what it is, "lanyard" is the worst. when i hear that word, i don't think of a sort of necklace that holds your keys. i think of a grand, sophisticated patio that overlooks cape cod. (i.e. "pat, darling, why don't we go open a bottle of champagne on the lanyard?")
maybe i'll buy a house one day in cape cod with a beautiful lanyard.
let me take you out to the lanyard to see the goats... hahaha love this :) and i love you!! thanks for being such a fabulous friend - last night was wonderful!! and i just love you!
