I was so torn today between my desire to stay home, in my pj's, doing
whatever the hell I wanted (or didn't want to do) and my desire to
spend more time with I. She invited me to join her and the family at the
Irish Fair.
I had dinner last night with her, her
husband and daughter and then after dinner he took P home and I and came
back here to hang out and catch up.
She was here until
a little after one. It turns out we had a LOT to catch up on. And it was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. Then
again, whenever I spend time with great people, I always have a good
time. (I wonder if I need to think about the fact that I now think that I had such a good time because I got to talk about myself for part of the evening?)
So yeah...I had a chance to hang out with them and I opted not to.
WTF?
Man. Do I really hate wearing a bra that much??
It can't just be that...seriously, it can't.
Musings from a big and beautiful sometimes "drama queen" on her current state of existence
What's It All About?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.
You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.
