*hap hap happy new year*
I got to spend New Year's Eve with my girls from high school, Rachel and Amanda. We went out to eat...it was all very low key. It's not about what you're doing, it's about who you're with. I couldn't have wished it better.
I'm still bumming around Nashville drinking coffee and writing in my journal. It's good to have this down time because I KNOW things will be crazy this semester with the classes and graduation and whatnot. I'm not worrying about any of that today though. It's a new year. New chances. New opportunities. New beginnings.
Emily called me last night...out of her mind worried and nervous. She was leaving her house at 3am to be at the airport at 5am and fly out at 7am. She's almost to London by now. She was calling to ask me if she'd forgotten anything...Oh I remember that day. The day before you are leaving home to go to England for 6 months...what a freight train. I remember sitting in my room the night before I left and going over my packing list just one last time...there's never any way to remember everything. I am so happy for Emily...this is her chance to really fly before she comes home and does all that mushy junk...gets married and has babies. I know she'll miss Matthew while she's gone, but it's not like he's going anywhere. He'll have a thousand eyes on him in Lexington while Emily is away, and he adores her. Still, men are not to be trusted...he'd better not slip up around me...I'm bitter enough to choke him.
On a lighter note, Mom and I went into St. Louis and ate at the best Thai place in town according to a magazine review from the Riverside Times. I have to agree...it was delish and I will definately go there again. I think Mom enjoyed having something out of the ordinary.
I can't WAIT till next weekend (around the 10th). My friend Valarie is coming down from Louisville to visit me! I'm going to make dinner for her and we're going to have an amazing time. She's not the best person in the world at keeping in touch (we live an hour apart and talk once a year), but this weekend will make me feel much better. She's even mentioned a possible trip to my graduation! That would be so nice!
Well, I'm off to the coffee shop to pour my heart out to my journal. This is the second Molskine journal I've had...the first being from my European trip. I don't have quite as much exciting scenery to write about, but that makes it twice the creative challenge! To be able to find the beautiful in the commonplace is the true art.
I hope you had a great New Year's, dear friend. Thanks for caring enough to read what's going on in my life. *she raises a glass of champagne* Here's to your health, wealth, and happiness in the New Year. I miss you!
