LJ entries I've posted around this time since 2001. Everything truly seems like it was just yesterday. Though I must laugh and the feelings I had for some of the guys I dated. Hindsight is 20/20, I suppose.
You know what's weird? Life pre-LJ was 7 years of marriage to an abusive, controlling ass. 7 years is a long time. Yet I hardly retain memories of it. I almost never think about the fact I have been divorced. It seems like it all happened to a different person. A little less than 1/5 of my life is in some mental black hole. I like it that way.
I helped organize a block part and it's in two hours. Why did I do that? I really am not in the mood. Baby Cate has been super fussy and I am in a good mood but not terribly social. David's buddy treated him to a football game. So, he'll be gone for awhile.
Tomorrow is our one year anniversary. And they said it wouldn't last. I think we are going out to dinner for a few hours. Some of his friends will watch the baby monster. It will be the first time I leave her with someone besides David. It will be a little difficult but I am looking forward to a meal that is not interrupted by her yelling.
Well, I guess I need to get ready for the block party. I need to call the girl whose original idea it was. I think she is going to cop about and say her baby is sick. She is probably the closest friend I have down here. She is my age. Very modern and cool. Only thing is we have a bit of a communication block because she has a heavy Hungarian accent. I am getting used to it though and she speaks a little slower now.
I don't want to go to this. Maybe I can just claim Caitlin isn't feeling great either and needs to stay home. She has been fussy today...
