In Limbo

It's a strange place being on the edge of a life changing adventure and stuck waiting for it to happen. I've been driving here and there and everywhere this week trying to pull my mess of a self together. It gets scarier as it gets closer. A talk with my fellow traveler today lifted my spirits and rejuvenated my faith in myself.

Sure there's doubts but they fall quickly behind the excitement.

It's getting harder to sleep. Even if you hadn't been snoring in my ear last night I probably still would have been stirring just as much.

Frank from Post Secret unsettled some dust that tends to find it's place in all the crevasses in my simple thinking brain. It was needed. I needed a reminder of how close we all are and how many struggles we have are shared by strangers all around us. There were some very brave people in that audience.

I'm gonna miss this precious time I've been spending with my mom. I hope she find joy in the things around her.

sigh...
ok i'm out of brain power. it's been quite a day. hopefully the sleep will come easier tonight.

IIIIIIII'm Back!

At the request of a certain hot blond from socal I decided to write a long overdue post. I spruced up the page a bit too as you can see... it needed a make over. So as of tomorrow I have exactly 2, count um...2 weeks until my flight to Rome. My emotions are mixed but far from none. This whole thing has caused me many stressful situations and feelings this summer, which has partly been my reason for the recent intermission. I figure I'll fill you in on the haps in the two weeks preceding as well as my explorations during my stay...pictures included.

As of now, I'm extremely nervous for this whole thing. I have so much left to do before leaving. Things to square away and pack and such. Although my insides rarely sit still I am rather excited about this whole adventure as well.

As for now..... I'm planning on denying the amount I have to do and escaping into the never ending references to pop culture and witty remarks of the Gilmore Girls...I'm on episode 13 of season 2.

Goodnight all :)
