| i just want to remember this time forever and ever. i need to write things down later. it's so hard to stay focused at work today. we've decided to take breaks so we can be productive today. right now the next time we get to talk is at 10:00- 10 more minutes of work and we can chat til our teeth fall out. obviously, i'm not working at the moment. and then more work and then another chat break and so on. |

| i was inspired by all the new updates to post something too. it's nice to log on and read things from good friends. not sure how worth reading this post will be because there's really nothing to post about. no babies or huge milestones that include men (i might as well say that because you are wondering it in your head) or new home purchases- i can say that i am enjoying the single life and every moment of time feels precious. i wish i did a better job of using it better. many good intentions though- i know my mind and body are sharper now than it will ever be later, i know i have more time now than i ever might have later, and i know i have more autonomy now than ever.... but vegging takes precedence over almost anything after work... still, i am trying to make the most of things- learning as much as i can now, working as hard as i can now, doing as much as i can now.
oh what a pathetic post. i'm sorry people. i do have better things to say than this but i'm still distracted by thoughts on the last debate and how Boston sports has come crashing down and the project runway finale that's on in an hour. (i am appreciating PST today).
oh! i did go to an obama party last night, with the mayor (who is strangely plastic), da, etc and there was this dj- dj d-sharp. oh my gosh. i couldn't take my eyes off of him. he has so much fun while he's spinning and i love the way he dances. he's got this pharrell-ish way about him. and this singer goapele. she is such a cute dancer and has such a smooth voice. itune her song: first love. it's good.
i think i'm just typing to type. sorry, wish i had something more for you!
love,

| the pats had an undefeated season (let's not think about their super bowl loss for the moment.)
the red sox won the 07 world series and is still at the top of their league
the celts finally won a championship
on top of all of this, i witnessed some fine golf and sportsmanship when tiger won the us open in sudden death.
obama is about to become our nation's leader,
and... what else? chris brown + rihanna are an item?
life is good. i can't help it. when they're up i'm up, and when they're down, i wonder if the goodness is about to end. i was worried 30 was not going to be the year i thought it would be when the pats lost the super bowl. i thought it would be over. yes, i'm being ridiculous, but you know what? i am having the time of my life, living in an awesome groove, and riding out this happy wave... and all i sense right now is that it's only gonna get better.
in so many ways, i've learned a thing or to about BELIEF this year. and life through the eyes of belief is a whole new life. it IS life. and i love it!

| so last night i was looking through old baby pictures, and stopped at this hilarious one taken at school when i was in first grade. in the background, a little boy is trying to peek through a crack in a folding wall. it was funny to me and i was trying to remember who the guy was. grant smith? grant something...
well, this morning i log into facebook and have two friend requests. both from people i don't know/remember. and then i stop to think. why the heck would you do that? request to be a friend to someone you don't know?! but then, the name- Jamie Grant. that was his name! that was the name of the boy in the picture! ...
woooooaaaahhh. am i the only one who thinks that's WEIRD?
twilight zone music is coming on in my head.
i have to say, remembering him makes me remember such happy times growing up. he was so much fun. he was every superlative i can think of. and we all essentially grew up in each others' lives K-12.
nice. |

| i know this is weird but there are days when i miss the jersey turnpike, today being one of them. esp that part right after the GW bridge when, at the right time, the traffic starts to clear and you can just cruise. i miss driving long distances, having that space and time to do what you need to do. some of my favorite memories w/family and friends and w/the Lord are in a car.
i'm also craving some adventure or something spontaneous, borderline kooky. just a get up and let's go kinda thing.
i think i'm ready for some rest. only a day away... |
