band-aid

well work called, but thankfully i was able to work from home.

the highlight of my day ws going to aphra's place. that was fun. although, i had a difficult time finding their house and actually went up to the wrong house. it was pouring rain and i didn't want to drive all the way home to double check the address, so i went to the butlers place and they showed me the way. on the way home from there i saw a fat dalmation and that made me laugh out loud from the depth of my inners.

between having to work and having nothing better to do if i wasn't working, that got me in a pretty cranky mood. thankfully beckie heard thru the grape vine that i was feeling lonely and she gave me a call. i started to cry almost the second i heard her voice. and later melinda called and patiently listened as i ranted in anger about being lonely. she said i was sounding much better at the end of our converstation. i think she's right. and i felt better after crying too. sometimes i feel as though i always have to initiate contact and because i hadn't i was left at home with nothing to do. that's why i appreciated aphra's invitation so much.

tonight i watched "the notebook" on tv. it made me cry. at a happy part. i only cry at happy parts in movies, but this time it was more like "they're so happy and i'm so misrable". i cried again later too. i like my tears to dry on my face. it leaves my skin feeling funny.

i know you don't mean to make me feel stupid. i just don't know what to do with you.

i want you... to take me out.

Sorry for living on a street that seems to end but doesn't really! We all really enjoyed having you over. James really likes you. I was surprised he was not more impressed over your job, as he loves transportation.

I remeber crying during the Notebook, but I can't remember at which part now.

Consider it all November-itis.

Greetings from Ottawa!!

I came across your blog by accident one day and have really enjoyed this little window into your life! Thank you for sharing!!

I found it via Tim Forbes'(who photographed our wedding) flickr site...which led me to the Next Church site...which listed your blog...and poof! Three degrees of seperation!!

Anyways, I too watched The Notebook last night!! Nicholas Sparks (who wrote the novel) has become one of my favourite authors and has such a beautiful life story.

Come by and visit us sometime, we love company!! Our site isn't nearly as fun as yours...but thank you for inspiring us!

Someone once asked me "is it really such a small world or do we just move in small circles?!?!"

Definitely a thought worth pondering!!

that's so true. i thought it was crazy when i was in kenya and met someone who knew a friend of my friend's. but really, it wasn't that far of a stretch. fits with the whole small circles thing.
