Dreary Tuesday

Hey,

Sounds like you had a memorable weekend...so glad it was what you needed! Did you buy anything cool at C&B? I've been drooling over the Christmas catalog and being secretly thankful that the nearest store is so far away. I'm pretty sure I can get those cookie cutters at Walmart, albeit not as fun to shop for.

Last night, HY (Husband of the Year) suggested we go to a movie (??? - I'm sure the aliens will bring back my real husband any minute now.) So we went to see The Blind Side, which was amazing, and I think everyone in the world should see it. Afterwards, we went across the street to BL's newest, hippest restaurant (where I got the fish tacos last week) for a beer. 10:15 on a Monday night and the place was hoppin'. You think we've been waiting for a decent restaurant around here?!!

Today I'm trying to get motivated to do something, even though I really don't have anywhere to go (except the post office) or anything to do (house is clean...can't really cook the mashed potatoes early, can you?) That movie hit me a little hard (mother/son story) and I'm having a pretty bad "Matt day". He left a message on the phone for Jack last night, just calling to say hi...it about kills me to hear his voice. I keep second guessing myself on things like Should I call and invite him for Thanksgiving? Well of course not, because what if he actually came? How awkward and untimely would that be? And yet, what kind of mother am I that I don't at least ask? Arghh....

Coupled with my whacked bro and CC, I've had about enough of family. I need a vacation (I'm being serious, even though it's like I'm on vacation every day, not working). I feel like I need to get out of my house and my life for awhile - just a long weekend would be good.

Whine, whine, whine. All is well, it's just that I'm really dreading the holiday(s) and wishing I were still on Prozac. As much as I cried in the movie last night, I'm really not looking forward to any emotional moments over the next month or so. Thank God J and I are doing well and that my parents aren't the problem (for once).

I think I'll take a shower and at least do the post office run. It will get me out of the house, which is as close to a vacation as I'm going to get right now!

Love you, A
