Better better better
There is nothing like doing well at work that boosts my confidence! I met my goal for the day, and the high-fives from my MOD felt awesome. Dee is so encouraging to me. I am on her team toward the pizza party, and she makes me feel like I'm her star sometimes. She is always smiling and seems so genuine. I don't see her treat other employees the same way, but maybe I'm just not paying attention. Oh, and I also bought a pretty green dress. I feel so much better than yesterday! I know I sounded crazy. But I should not apologize for how I feel. That is one of the most important things my relationship with Andy has taught me.
Now I have a week left at Gap and am planning a night out w/coworkers. They are the only people in Charleston that I feel might actually appreciate me for me. Andy's friends are pretty much the only other people I've interacted with, and they are my friends because I'm his wife. They are good guys, but not exactly the friends I would choose. That has been the hardest part about living in Charleston: I miss my friends. A lot. I am actually really happy about going back to Shreveport just so I can hang out w/people I think are fun and entertaining (besides my wonderful husband).
I wrote a song last night about going back to Shreveport, since I was feeling so sad about it. So, I wrote a really happy, KT Tunstall-ish song about it. These are the crappy lyrics that sound really good w/some fun rhythms:
Hey now Babe you know you've always been good for a good time
But today I've just gotta tell ya what's been on my mind
You see I got things I got to do
And places I've got to see
Yeah you know I'm gonna miss you
(spoken) But I've got people missin' me
(Hook) So I gotta go back, go back, go back, got a really long way back
Yeah I gotta go back, go back, go back, got a really lo-ong way back
Hey now I start to feel like my time's gettin' wasted
The wine here's good too bad wine is only good when it's tasted
So I'm gonna pour me one last drink
And pack up my guitar
By now I'm startin' to think
A thousand miles ain't too far.
(repeat hook)
Look out fuckin Taylor Swift. Ha ha!
