detaching vs reconnecting

January is over. I hope February is even better...if that's even possible...

It will be a month that I remember for quite some time. January has always been a favorite month of mine...

Too tired, a good tired, to figure it all out...

So, like the cool person that I am, I went to the 3 doors down / hinder concert last weekend despite the fact that I was going on 3 hours of sleep (thanks work) and had a raging cold. Wow, the opening band was great! Safetysuit!!! I waited outside in the cold for over an hour (which I'm certain was not good for my persistently pesky runny nose). During this time, my concert companions formed a huddle in order to stay warm. There were great pictures / videos taken with my new camera, great times had by all, and a lot of yelling and letting loose on my part.

Sometimes patience pays off. Blind trust. Exhilaration.

And there was some sadness and worry as well this month. Sadness that I deal with on a daily basis, but in a different way. A personal way. Sadness that I had stupidly considered myself to be immune to and have since discovered that I am not. Some discoveries I wish to not find out. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes.

For every negative, a positive exists. Reciprocality (to me) is the hope that things will eventually become better. It is the nature of things.

A snowstorm of blizzard-like proportions would be much appreciated this month. Then I could go sledding again with the newly revived sister and the niece. Oh yeah, and maybe a ski trip could happen too!

It's a shame that after all these years we have gone in opposite directions. Although I'm certain you have some close-minded argument regarding this, I happen to like the way that I have grown better than the direction that you have grown. And I hate that.

I was pleasantly surprised when my bridesmaid dress that I had ordered online was patiently waiting for me upon my arrival from work last week. If I keep constantly consuming Zaxby's as frequently as I have been, it is a definite possibility that I will no longer be able to fit into my dress for Kole's big day.

There is a chance that this year will replace '07 as my best year yet. There is still a lot to look forward to. It doesn't take much to make me happy and I plan to keep it that way.

recap of the month...quickly and vaguely...i hope!

- confetti/foam, live music, sold, learning to teach, Disney decision, fun cooking, reconnecting, partially thawed, closure, new plans, Morissey, carpooling, bachelorette weekend planning, unselfishness, simplicity...

I am getting sleepy due to a couple of contributing factors.

Night,

E
