Take me to the place I love…take me all the way

 You know, I hadn’t felt tired all day until I got home and see my cat snoozing away in bed. Suddenly I have this irrisistable urge to crawl in with her and take a "cat" nap myself. She’s such a bad influence.

I went out with a coworker the other night. She is recently divorced and decided we needed to go on a "man hunt." Yeah, it didn’t go well. I got approached by several guys but I just wasn’t feeling it. It’s a bar scene though, and how honest are people who meet in a bar? They were either annoying frat boys or old men who haven’t finished realizing they’re too old for girls my age, lol. Kudos to them for having the guts to try though. 

Rachel came in to town yesterday for a charity cause her family is heavily a part of. I got to spend a little time with her, the husband and baby. They seem really happy and on top of the world. She kept wanting to know what happened with Frank and I glossed over it. She kept her mouth shut on her opinions but I could tell she was pretty angry. I wouldn’t be surprised if she e-mailed him or something. I felt so removed from her though just because of where we both are in our lives, and I didn’t want our short visit spent with me thinking and getting all emotional. So I just enjoyed playing with the baby and keeping conversation casual. We’re making plans about my going to Indiana this summer to spend some time with them. I have lots of ideas on how to spend my vacation time.

I’d like to go somewhere I have never been before though. Someplace new. New memories, new smells, sounds, people…..country.

Exotic romances……. 😉  

I was pretty bummed out on Friday though. I was finally off after a forever long stretch of working and had plans to spend the day gardening and planting my veggies and raking the front yard but instead it was super rainy and stormy. Tornado sirens going off and then huge pieces of hail falling from the sky. I have a little hood damage from the hail on my car. I am pretty sure it’s not enough to meet my deductible with my insurance provider so the repairs will have to be out of pocket. I the spots don’t look that bad and there aren’t that many, so maybe I can find a car dude who wouldn’t mind just popping them out. I bet I could buy a kit and do it myself even. I mean I fixed my trunk, my back lights and repaired my own fuel filter! (um yeah, that was a catastrophe btw, but I got it, haha.) 

I am craving a change though. Maybe it’s the warm weather and sunshine finally sparking life back into me. I definitely feel a change coming.
