Thinkin' Outloud...


With Spring just around the corner, I've decided I'm going to hold a garage sale. I'm going to get rid of some of my kitchen stuff like glasses - because I have too many and other miscellaneous items.

I took a nap when I got home from work today. Something I haven't done in a long time. I slept for almost two hours, woke up, then Sean and I had a late dinner at a steakhouse.

Actually, let me correct myself. After work I trekked over to a little strip mall and purchased some moccasins and some nice coffee cups. Then I went home and went to sleep.

And now, I am going to bed.

Thinkin' Outloud...


Having a parent in the military sure took it's toll on me. Moving around, changing schools, developing a special friendship with friends that for me, feels like happens once in a blue moon - to lose them because their parent or mine would get stationed somewhere around the world...I had to learn to live with the fact that I may or may not see them again. First there was Larisha, then Cindy, then Tracey, then Lawayne, and Alethea and so many childhood friends that I've lost touched with that I wish I could find, now.

Marianne moves to cow country, so does Catherine (but she recently moved back to Chicago - so now I can see her when I visit) but WHY...WHY...WHY...

...because it's not about me. It's about people I care about creating a life that makes them happy.

Anyway, the reason why I bring this up is because a friend of mine is moving to New York, which I encourage and support this decision, but it hurts. It's weird. I've only known her for about three years, one of which I only really started getting to know her. We'd hang out, annoy each other, but she was someone I looked forward to seeing at times. You know?

When she told me she had a job interview in New York, my heart kind of dipped, like the feeling of being on a plane going through turbulence. Right then and there I knew there was a very strong possibility that she would most definitely be moving...I was even making plans for my trips to NYC, and the girl hadn't even had the interview yet.

I want her to do this. It's her dream. One by one our hopes and dreams will come true.

ELzilla. I hope you don't move. You're the only friend I have left in Boston. Okay, that's not entirely true. But, you get what I mean.

I'm gonna go and sulk.
