Traveling Alone

Wednesday, March 8, 2006

Funny how my first year of marriage is probably as single as I’ve been in the past eight years. I’ve spent more time by myself, in hotels, and talking to people I don’t really know in the past eight months than ever before. Tonight, I called Bill to tell him I was eating supper at the McDonald’s inside Wal-Mart, by myself. To which he replied, “Oh no, you’re one of those people.” Of course, those of you who remember me from college will note that it was always my goal to have dinner inside a Target or store of the like. Mission accomplished. 😉

April’s birthday is coming up next week. She probably doesn’t believe that I had her card picked out even before we talked about the fact that her birthday is exactly a week away tonight. It’s okay – she’s going to love the card.

I haven’t talked to Lo in some time now. Apparently she’s back in the hustle and bustle of things. I know she was at bells and choir practice and probably the Lent service tonight. That’s one thing I’ve missed ever since I left for college. I used to love Wednesday night services and the whole Lent season. I need to make a better point of observing it even when my routine is, well, not routine!

My computer calander is counting down and reminding me that soon I will be enjoying some fun in the sun. Shoot – that reminds me, I went to Wal-Mart specifically to get sunscreen and I didn’t get any. Figures.

Tomorrow I’m going to pick up some fresh and frozen grocery items to drag back to Unalakleet with me. I really haven’t taken advantage of my time “out” in that respect. Better late than never, I guess!

Alright, time to go read and get ready for bed. Would love to hear from you all! 🙂
