The things you remember

I miss my mom. Not in a "i'm little and lonely kind of way" or a "I'm young and immature, need my mother kind of way" but in a grown-up mature, best friend kind of way.
I miss my mom.
We are so close, and I don't get to see her enough now that I'm 13 hours across the country away from her.
I know she's needed me this weekend. And I feel so helpless - a phone call away, but that seems so far.

It's funny the things you remember about your childhood, about your mother; and what sparks those memories to re-appear in your mind? The strangest things!

I got out of the shower tonight and remember how my mom used to make sure I got all the soap out of my hair when I was little. I got sunburned today and remembered how mom used to lather me up from head to toe with 3 inches thick of sunscreen!

What do you do!?

I am addicted to watching the Bachelor. And American Idol. Isnt it funny how you feel personally connected with the people on your favorite reality tv shows? And yet you don't even know them!

I had a great weekend - painted my bedroom (pictures to come!) Hung out with a new friend = Michele. With one "L" --! And got to go bowling. I love my friends. And family. My boyfriend and dog. I am so blessed! More to come, blog family. I just re-discovered my password for this blog so it's up and running again!
