open doors

if things weren't already very confusing... i have a new friend named brenda. so now i've got a bren, brendan and a brenda. i hope you'll be able to keep everyone straight. SO, that said, last night, scarlete, brenda and i went down to market square to see grease. we sat on the warm ground under the starry sky sharing popcorn and other snacks. it was fun. i've been meaning to get together with brenda for a while now, so it was nice that we finally got the chance to chat. it was scarlete's first time seeing grease. which is always fun to experience a friend's firsts. that was only my second time at market square for a movie. i'd really like to go see edward scissorhands in a few weeks. anyone interested in coming with me? i didn't get home til 11:30, but it didn't start til after 9.

i'm pretty excited about skeleton park music festival tomorrow. plus, beckie is coming down for it, which will be great. i'm looking forward to sitting on a blanket all day, people watching and enjoying music.

thankfully my dad seems to have gotten over the insult of me turning down his miracle grow offer. he stopped by yesterday and remarked on how well our garden is growing. when i was talking to him the other night i mentioned marlene's suggestion of compost tea. i suspect that once the dust settled in his mind he was excited about the thought of compost.

sometimes, while in the moment, those moments seem like a really big deal. it's good to be outside the moment and to be able to tell someone 'don't worry, it's going to be just fine. things will work themselves out' and to know that to be true, even if they're not as certain. i'm pretty grateful that i'm at peace with all matters of the heart. i can see why my friends seemed so calm compared to me for all those years. oh, the things i'd tell my younger self ;)

you walk on the sidewalk so carefully steppin'.
