Leavin' On A Jet Plane
It feels like months since I've been able to post anything and also read anything on LJ. I hate when time escapes me like that. This is mostly due to the conditions at work. Shit is hitting the fan from so many directions lately. I have had a few actual breakdowns (actual tearing up and crying at work. Sucks. So embarassing.) I will have to get into all that another time, or hopefully maybe I'll just move past it and never look back.
We are leaving for Colorado tomorrow! I can not believe this time has finally arrived. We have not been back since we moved (December 2007). We bought these tickets months ago and it felt like a dream that would never actually come true. Though as I have mentioned in here before I am both excited and also nervous and a little skeptical. So much has changed in the past year and five months, both in our lives as well as the lives of all our friends who are still there. So many of the friends who were my "closest" friends when living there have shown such little interest in our visiting that I'm a bit annoyed which translates into bitchy on my end. I'm not asking for a fucking welcome back party or anything like that. But a fucking returned phone call stating an excitement to see each other would be nice. The friends who are reacting with support and excitement will get my undivided attention this week.
We'll be both in town (in Boulder) and also going camping while we are there. The camping trip is an annual gathering with some of our friends up at this "cabin" in Walden, CO. It's gorgeous. It's a few hours from Boulder (I can't remember but I want to say 4 or 5). The land is just breath taking and the we always have a freaking riot. Packing has been less than fun though since we have to bring all sorts of camping attire (it usually snows there so long underwear, sweaters, hiking boots etc.). Luckily, we have friends with gear that we can borrow so we don't have to lug that shit on the plane. I currently have two bags packed - camping bag and town bag with dresses, sandals etc.
Tomorrow at this time we'll be heading to the airport.
I feel like a lot has happened over the past few weeks though it's nothing definitive that I can just blurt out here.
Yesterday we went to a party some friends of ours were throwing (their son turned 2). We LOVE their neighborhood. Everytime we've gone there we say how much we could see ourselves living there. We were able to meet a bunch of their neighbors yesterday and even more so did we see ourselves living there. Everyone is so friendly and neighborly. They all hang out together and have dinner parties. I would love to live there. Aaron searched Zillow when we got home and found the most amazing condo for sale there. Amazing by our standards, I'm sure a lot of people would never even look twice at it. It was built in 1895 and has such a great antique look to it. Love it. Can't stop thinking about it and pretty much wish we could meet with a realtor today. If it's still listed next week when we get back we hope to set up an appointment and move forward with something on that issu.
As a LOST fan I'm still not over last week's finale! When I have found free time I've scoured the online sites soaking up every theory and angle I could find. I love that show and I'm already bummed about next season being the last. I feel a void coming. Though, when we get back from CO my "True Blood" DVD should be waiting for us and I can not wait to jump into that. And "Weeds" Season 4 will be following along right behind that. So that will keep me happy for a couple weeks.
I'm sorry I have not had a chance to catch up on journals lately. When we return I will be making more of an effort.
