what happened?

By christa 1 December, 2005 random

I looked at the calendar today and it actually dared suggest that it’s December 1st. Can you believe the nerve of that lousy calendar?

I don’t know what happened, it seems like Ryland was just turning 1 yesterday and now suddenly it’s december and winter is breathing down our necks and everywhere you look is HOLIDAY CHEER. I don’t like it when time sneaks up on me like this, it makes me grumpy and anxious. I am not ready for 2006. I am barely ready for 2005. Is there something we can do? I need to talk to someone about getting an extension. Just a few more weeks please. Let’s do November over again, better yet let’s do August over again, I liked August, I was still in Tucson and Ryland was still my little baby and my friends were all close, so I choose August, yes definitely, AUGUST PLEASE.

I feel very lonely these days and Ryland feels lonely and I think everyone I know and love in Arizona needs to move to Boston. We’ll get one of those big old New England houses, with endless rooms and lots of fireplaces and hardwood floors and we’ll play games and drink grown-up drinks and laugh and watch movies and it will be a lot of fun.

    Ahhhh, the good ole’ days. Remember when we all hung out and drank adult drinks and played board games? Remember when you guys would come over and I’d cook dinner for all of us? Good times.

    You’ll never get Morgan to move to Boston. He’s a weather wimp. But, you know this already. What a California boy. And, what’s ironic is that even though he’s from Cali, and most people from Cali adore the beach, he doesn’t even go in the water! What a chump.

    Ack! What about your friend in Virginia, don’t you want her to move to Boston too!!!!

    I don’t know about you, but I was looking at Aidan, and he is looking less and less like a baby and much more like a little boy. I don’t like it. He looks oversized or something. He is still super cute, but just older looking. I think he was at the height of baby cuteness when he was 1.

    Sucks

    I’ve got an idea! In the summer, when I quit my job and am waiting to start law school, you should come and spend the week with me. (BTW, do your version of praying for me – I’m taking that god awful test, the LSAT on Saturday). Hopefully I won’t totally blow it and ruin my chances for going to a decent school. I will be so glad when it’s over. We can play games and sing songs and eat stuff.

    Tiffany could spend time in Christa’s neck of the woods. She could take a year away from work as a sabbatical. She could leave Morgan for a while, hes a big boy he can take care of himself.
    Take a small apartment in town, on main street above one of the shops. Christa could use the
    “away time” from her responsibilities and family a few hours every few days to see Tiffany.
    Dont let this passion and friendship die out like a neglected log on the fire. Damn it!

    and then one night, when the weather is particularly cold and the old heater in the house they share together no longer works, the women are faced with a horrible choice of either freezing to death or getting more acquainted than they had planned on… a deliciously horrible choice… (hang on… typing with one hand… difficult….
