Dreaming.In.Reality

Man.. I had some good lunch today.. Coney dog, chili fries and a large rootbeer float*L* FINALLY. I still have yet to get to taco bell.. Maybe tomorrow before the wedding :)

Mom and I got down to downtown Ann Arbor this morning bright and early… Stopped over at Encore Records, got Tim’s new cd, and I asked about Pat Herek’s as well.. and the guy had 3-4 used copies of it.. so I picked up one of them.. it’s been lovely listening all day.

Todd gave me a ring this am. He picked up the gift he wanted to get Scott and Michelle this morning after he got his tuxedo.. We had a few options for this afternoon..I chose the outdoor activity.. just because the movie would have cut it a bit close for him to be home by 330 so he would be ready for the rehearsal dinner. So we passed on Farenheight 9/11 and decided to go play Disc Golf. IT was probably the most entertaining 2.5 hours outside that I’ve had in a long time*L* Good exercise too… I’ve discovered that I’m not so good at throwing a frisbee.. I’m gonna have to look for some courses in Ottawa. I could get into that sport.

Listening to Gordon Lightfoot’s latest album, Harmony. It’s so lovely. I’m hoping to leave with a copy of it Monday morning…

Things here are still well, I finally got ahold of Lorie that I hadn’t talked to yet since i got in. She brought the baby up to the bowling alley.. she is the cutest little bug ever. Got to hang out for a few hours, saw lots of people I hadn’t seen in a year. Did some bowling.. and wow.. I hurt today*L* Who’d have thought that would make you ache?

I’m beginning to feel.. the pressure of sorts.. that my time here at my parents is coming to a close. I’m anxious to be home with K, but at the same time.. I’m not ready to let go of my time here. This past year has truely proved who is what to me, and I do not want to let go of them. I want to spend weeks watching movies with my dad.. I want to spend months having coffee with my mom. I know I’m coming back in 2.5 weeks, but it’s still hard. After this summer, it’s time for reality.. and I will not have the freedom to just scamper off to see my parents any time I want. It’s so very funny, if you had told me 10 years ago, I would cry because I was leaving my parents to go back to living far away.. I’d laugh hysterically in your face.

In anycase.. I’m gonna jet. I’m thinking of going to Ann Arbor to pick up a cd.. Crazy to drive there for just that, but it’s my friend’s first solo album.. and well. It’s a dream since 6th grade, finally coming true! That was 1988 people! *L* Some of you may recognize him as one of the front runners of the band, The Original Brothers & Sisters of Love. I don’t have all the story yet, but suffice to say, TOBASOL is now The Great Lakes Myth Society.. They’re minus one member, she’s now a mommy. I wonder the fate of H.O.M.E.S volume 2, the album that TOBASOL just finished a few months back. Hopefully it will see the light of day in the near future.

My dad’s dog Dutchess.. is an eyecatcher no matter where we go with her spots :)
