Why do heels make your feet stink?

[alpha_incipiens]

Change, it seems, is in the air. Or water, or something. A girlfriend spreading her wings, a buddy reaching out for new goals, a cousin expecting her new daughter any minute now... and yet here I am. My job is still sucking most of the life out of me. My husband is still gone during all of my waking hours. I've had to content myself with small

Ahem.

BANILLA!

That is all.

I used to have the same kind of dreams about school. It's pretty much why I have never gone back, although who knows? Maybe someday.

It's so hard to have adventures when we all have to work 9-5. Sometimes that really gets me down, too. I try to force myself out every now and then to try something new, especially these days. In fact I've gotten downright impulsive lately. But it's also good to coast and go with the flow (in my case, to keep myself out of DEBT). I admit, I'm kind of anxious for this ride to slow down a little. I think I'm starting to get dizzy from all of the unexpected turns.

Speaking of which, when it gets cold we need to hit the theme parks again. Or perhaps brave that mountain you guys have been raving about.

We tried to mix the theme parks with the mountain trip and stopped at Wild Adventures on the way home. NEVER again. But I'm missing the rush of some of the coasters in Orlando. THAT's my kind of adventure!

I'm thinking change is in the Kool-Aid

Hey!! Talk to Chris, We're trying to put something together for Fiday night, like in the evening, if ya'll aren't knee deep in newborn ;)

We love ya and miss ya too, so come hang out!

Girl, I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Think for a second just how far you've come in in life in the time we've known each other.

I agree with Tara, it's theme park time. I think that could do us all some good.

We're planning on both making it Friday. See you then!

girlie--I miss you too, and our magical summer night friendship.

the inability to feel the grief of most others as acutely as your own is not a flaw, it's a survival mechanism. it does not make you a bad person.

caring that others are suffering more than you is a beautiful gift. it shows that you are an extraordinarily good person.

I still think of my old house every single time I see Boone's Farm at the grocery store. I wish there were some way to get those days back without actually having to go backwards and lose the person I have become. Bah!

I think it's good to remind yourself that you get to have grief, too. I think that it's easy for people (or let me say, it's easy for me, and then I extrapolate my selfish imaginings to all people) to convince oneself that one ought not have the emotions others have, but but, speaking for me, I think it's okay to have those emotions. We're all such frail vessels, really, that we're not much good for comparisons. We're all frail in our own ways.

Thanks for reminding me of that, sir.
