I felt comfortable...

My day, today, was somehow the perfect end to my vacation. I was dreading the fact that tomorrow I actually have to wake up and be somewhere on time. Dreading the fact that it was time to get back into the real world... well as real of a world it can be when you are surrounded by 8 year old children.
I wanted to do everything fun and crazy that I could think of.
I wanted to end my vacation with a bang!

I wanted to sleep in more though.. all my plans and dreams of the "bang" were crushed...

As I was bitter and trying to salvage the day, I took a better look and realized that the day was happening how it wanted.. Everything I would plan would fall through...
and so many things that I didn't plan were happening...

I am grateful that my day took its own course.
Today was one of those kick ass days that makes you sit at home in front of your computer writing in your blog to yourself, to everyone, and to noone in particular with a really stupid smile on your face...

I am not sure what it was about today...

  • I weighed myself in the morning and realized I have lost a total of 51 pounds since October.
  • I had lunch with one of my closest friends.. I went for the salad instead of the hamburger.. I drank water instead of Pepsi...
  • I spent time with my grandmother... I made my grandmother happy....
  • I was stuck in traffic, but I was singing and dancing and enjoying the time alone....
  • I met some more friends. I rarely see them anymore, but I always enjoy myself so much when I do. I need to spend more time with them.
  • I could not find a place to park my car. I hit another car. The lady just smiled and told me it was not a big deal.
    (Kent, I really think it could be the transportation ruling body smiling at me because I always tell people if their door is open or if their tires are flat..
    I respect the transportation ruling body... ;o))
  • I went to Purvi's house. We were all invited for Anjene's soul food dinner. The food was great. I was so happy seeing my friends there. Somehow it felt like I had not seen them in ages. I think I had seen them all in the past week.. but somehow I felt longer. There were so many people there. Some of them I had not met before.. but they were all very interesting people.
  • I actually ate food that Kent has cooked. For so long all I would hear about him was the fact that he was cooking here, or he made the best Indian food, or he is a kick ass BBQ-er.. I guess we can now add soul food to the list.. The food kicked ass!
  • I met a guy that lives in one of the cities that I grew up in. He also lived very close to where I used to live in New York. I thought that was pretty interesting.
  • I finally "actually" met Megan and Kent. ;o)
  • I was somehow fondled by a woman... twice... and I think she meant it. (At the dinner party)!
  • I sat on the side with Luli and bitched about being fondled.
  • We all sat and listened to Kait tell the details of how they caught the bastard that attacked her.
  • I sat and took pictures of Kenny as he was "bringing sexy back".
  • I felt absolutely comfortable to jump in the middle of so many conversations...

Maybe that is what was great about today.. I felt comfortable.

Haha...the transportation ruling body is stern, but fair. Sounds like you earned that "it's not a big deal" comment.

I realized that I actually saw you in the Metro one day. You were with Nisrin.

I am seriously in love with the ruling body theory/ philosophy! I don't know why. It always makes me smile...

Are you sure it was me? I do not remember being on the metro with Nisrin...
but that just makes things seem weirder than before...
so, we finally actually met on the 3rd encounter! funny... ;o)
