Just a few things...

By revolutionaire.
1. Went to my favorite deli two Fridays back to treat myself to my favorite lunch meal. I hadn't been in months and months because a.) I'm attempting to lose weight and b.) I'm attempting to save money. While I was standing at the counter ordering my usual, the ladies (who run the place) both noticed I'd lost weight. That felt so freaking good. Also when I left, one of the ladies' (whom are an older mother/daughter combo) husband was outside - like usual - reading his paper and he commented on how slim I look too. I wouldn't go so far as to say slim yet, but I do feel slimmER. Anyway, it was a totally awesome experience.

2. I disappeared two weekends ago. I got to go to Valdosta and go camping with Russ & Karolyn and Jon-Michael. And we all had a super awesome time. The camping was fun because we went with a bunch of Russ' Air Force friends. His boss cooked a pig on a giant grill. There were water balloon catapults, Frisbee, football, paddle boats, and riding a long board while sitting in a cooler. I loved it. The greatest thing was, we were in a completely different state, away from everyone we knew (except two people), but I was only 2 hours from home.

3. I've gotten to spend beaucoups of time with Detra and Nhyya recently. None of which was enough and each time I saw them, I cried when they left. I bought Nhyya her first baby doll. We went to Toys R Us and she picked out a 'bebe.' Before we got to the register, she was attached. She wouldn't even let it go long enough for the cashier to swip the bar code. When we were getting in our cars to go to dinner, she said my name and I teared up.

I have a few videos from dinner the night I bought her her baby, but I haven't figured out how to upload them. Also, when we were leaving dinner, Detra was trying to think of a name for Nhy's baby. She decided on Mere (pronounced Mary) to indirectly name her after me: Alison Meredith. I melted.

Here's a picture of Mere and Nhyya.


4. My mom and I drove to Fort Lauderdale on Friday to spend the weekend. The event we went down for was a bridal shower that I was partially hosting. I think it gets forgotten that I am completely UNfamiliar with wedding things. So this was the first time I was involved with the planning of a bridal shower. I think, thanks to Traci's family, it turned out really well.

I have to add to this later. It's time to go home.


and we rock, because it's us against them.
we found our own reasons to sing.
and it's so much less confusing when lines are drawn like that.
when people are either consumers or revolutionaries.
enemies or or friends hanging on the edges of the ...

603.

By revolutionaire.
I never told you this story, but when I was a three, I had to have physical therapy for a broken femur. Every single day we drove to PT, we went over a small, fairly insignificant overpass with had a shopping plaza below it. The address for the shopping plaza was just barely visible over the bridge. And it was 603. And every single day as we went over, I would excitedly blurt out the numbers to show my mom I recognized them. This turned into a game for us. And eventually, a tradition. Fast forward into my "more grown up" ages ... like ... high school. And, if you could be a fly in my truck, you would have without a doubt witnessed me driving over the overpass by myself and, sure enough, I'd just say it ... "six oh three." Shortly after high school is when I met Seth, Tommy, Leif, Troy, and Jonesy in Gainesville. Still, there was no connection. Their friends and families came to visit, we then bonded, they returned home, and still, nothing. It wasn't until th...

This Just In...

By revolutionaire.
One of my favorite members/clients just called for the second time today. He is one of my favorites because he's always polite, asks to talk to me when he needs something he knows is my job to do, and always says he appreciates everything I do here. Earlier he said I sounded tired and that I should catch up on my sleep all weekend, the second time he called, he said I sounded a little better, but I must have partied far too hard. When I told him I actually worked last night, he said, "wow, you work two jobs... dang girl." I've decided I'm taking that as a compliment. This just in : I hung up the phone after taking a message from him and it immediately rang back. When I answered it, it was him AGAIN. This time I laughed when he identified himself and said, "you just want to talk to me, don't you?" His answer was actually yes. When I politely declined, he was all, "oh, I understand. Could I talk to Fred?" When I turned around to look for Fred...

Go Relax! (And I have a question for my readers.)

By revolutionaire.
Okay ... maybe I've been under a bit of stress lately. I'll admit, I have a tendency to carry a packed schedule. And for the most part, I can do this quite well. But there are times -- and I think they come in waves -- that I need to gtfo and decompress. This is why you suddenly find out I went to the beach, or was MIA for an entire weekend. It happens. It's been happening for my entire adult life. Those who know me, either embrace it, or get over the fact that I'm not changing. But I have to confess, even for me, the schedule lately has been an overwhelming one. At the end of May I was looking at my calendar and realized from that day through the middle of July, there isn't a single vacant weekend. I wish I were kidding. As much as I love being busy and having parties, volunteering, getting together with friends for coffee, and all of that fun stuff, if I don't get to take a long, retardedly hot shower every few nights and turn my phone off from time to time, ...
