life is good, part II
oh how i love the holidays. the christmas tree, sleeping in, presents. got some cool ones this year, most notably the iPhone. i also have a new phone number, birmingham area code. woo hoo
i really do love it here. i now own a heavy coat, a pair of knee high boots, and an ice scraper. driving through my neighbor hood is as close as i've ever been to a winter wonderland (well, germany in november is pretty damn close) anyways, i'm now looking at 2 bedroom apartments in my complex. thinking of making the second room into a library/music room. right now my keyboard is on my dining room wall, and i worry about bothering my neighbors.
going home for 4 days was a little slice of heaven. always good to see the dogs and the fam and the friends. then as soon as i got back to birmingham, i turned around and drove to atlanta for BUTTER TIME!!!! oh it was sooo much fun. we got ourselves a brent, and the happy three did nothing but talk, eat, and sleep (alright, there was that one drunken walk back from el vaquero). i stayed through new years, then turned around and met mom and the puppies at my place on the 1st. we saw movies, visited with family, went to dinner, and hung out with the girls. a good trip in all, i think.
after mom left, butter ended up coming through town for an afternoon, which was just an added bonus. now it's time to hunker down and get some work done. got alot going on at work, plus connie's wedding's coming up. i've got a 3 hour playlist to come up with for the reception, a wedding shower, a bachelorette party....oh, and i have to find a dress. fun.
brent was on a mission to find a negative of an old picture butter had. before the trip was over, he had unearthed thousands of old photos. old friends from college came rushing back. old parties and costumes. great russell street.
and him.
spring of 2002. my twenty first birthday. butter and i with our arms thrown around each other, laughing into the camera. tim, with his arm around me, looking at me, smiling at me.
i miss him so much.
