There's the girl....

I said good bye to some friends on Thursday. We had a light dinner and some conversation. It was a nice evening.

Then it was time for me to head back to the house. I did alright until C told the dogs to say good-bye - they'd probably never see me again.

Then T walked me out to the car and told me how proud she is of me....that she know's I'm doing the right thing. We both started sniffling. (OK - I cried the entire way home, I'll admit it.)

She told me she just wants to see me laughing and dancing again. Thursday was the first she'd seen me do that in a lot of years. We talked about blogging and she said how glad she is for the people I've met. How much they've done to help bring me back to center. She'll be a frequent reader/commentor as soon as the site changes over. You'll like her - she's fiesty.

Anyway - C and I sat munching on ice cream and giggling over old antics while she stood in the kitchen grinning. The dogs wandered around trying to steal our goodies and everyone was talking at once. It was a wonderful evening.

She said one thing that I hate to admit is probably true. We'll talk more now that I'm moving away than we did living 2 1/2 miles apart. I'll have a normal job with normal hours. There will be time for talking.

But damn I'll miss our shopping trips.

I hate what my last 2 jobs took from me. Ok - I gave it up, I made the choice to work that much, to distance myself. But it was for the money. It was for the glory. You know what? It wasn't worth it. Not. At. All.

Not gonna let that happen again - that's for damn sure.

But it was nice that we could step into that time again for just a few hours. It'll be a nice memory.

I have good friends.
