Last night was one of the oddest in my memory. I was alone and home by somewhere around 5. I left again for a couple of hours and ate alone in a little cafe here in town and talked with some man just traveling through delivering books that another man had traveled through and sold just weeks earlier. I had a salad with grilled chicken and he had enchilada soup and meatloaf. He's married 21 years to Ernestine (yes, really)and they have 5 children.
Roger (that's his name) told me not to ever try the meatloaf here. I assured him I wouldn't. I wouldn't try it anywhere else either so don't be afraid for me. He asked me if I was going to order dessert just for spite and I laughed and told him if I looked like Sandra Bullock I would've considered it. We talked about 30 minutes and I really enjoyed it. The best part was that I remembered how much I love just talking to people that I don't really know.
Today we have library time with the juggler. I love the juggler. He's a riot and actually pretty good. I love summer reading programs...I love things that make kids and anyone really love to read.
I talked to Alisha and her and Jeremy really are getting a divorce. I wish that I knew why that is so bizarre to me. She keeps reminding me that it is something she has wanted all along. I have to get over this...it is really throwing me off on several different levels. Jeremy is keeping all 3 of the kids. I suppose she does need some breathing room after 7 years but I just get overwhelmed and speechless when I think about this.
I wish that I had a coca-cola in a 10 oz. glass bottle with peanuts in it. Really badly.
Gotta get ready to be out the door...you'll miss me when I'm gone.
