Last Night's Thoughts
Colorado Springs is beautiful.
I love cold weather, but thirty-seven degrees in June is f*cking nonsense.
My children are laughing more, especially at dinner. So am I.
I know I only wanted a car that was safe and economical, but GPS is a godsend. Especially since I get lost driving down Dale Mabry Highway back in Tampa - and I lived there most of my life. So thanks for making sure it was included and thanks for making me learn how to use it.
I'm part of a team again. A great team. A winning team.
I still cry because I'm so far away.
Found a woman who does a mean facial. When I asked for a Brazilian wax, she said she's only done a few of them and would I mind being her model and by the way it's free. I love this woman.
My sister and I did lunch and I got to hold my nephew. He will know me and I will know him and that counts for something.
A ready-made group of friends are warm and welcoming. Even the smartasses seem happy to have me. And a few swear they will convince me to go camping. Not a chance. But I like that they try.
My best friend and I are sharing a house with two men, three little boys and a baby girl. Oh, and a dog. And one kitchen. And we still love each other. So that, too, counts for something.
I still cry because I'm so far away.
Every. Single. Night.

"Far Away (so close)" was the thought I had with this.
What's the temperature like there, Kate? We're in typical Florida summer here (sorta) with 90 degrees and a high humidity. Finally had some rain the last few days but besides that -- it's still a tinder-box around here in ole' TB.
You gonna' take the boys to the top of Pikes Peak, or have you already handled that last year?
*HUGS* i know how you feel, i do!!
I've been to Pike's Peak but the boys have not - something to do next week. The weather here is unusually cold.
Like my blood.
;-)
How about Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs or Seven Falls?
Wow, you know my new surroundings well. Manitou Springs is hippie heaven and we've been to the Garden.
Seven Springs...maybe next week!
I was there for 2 years and had a great time being so close the mountains and all the cool things to do outside. If the Springs had saltwater I would be right there with ya!
