so whats been up with me....hmmmm just the usual...work work...and missing family
now i have some family who are not even blood or legal relation but are FAMILY and some of them are the ones i miss the most
here in DC...its me and Devon and Bella and a handful of close friends but i crave and miss that familiarness and close knit family
i think of all the places i would love to move...Chicago, Michigan, Ohio, even Minnesota (although that idea was quickly shot down by a former resident) but to me happiness will be achieved when I am within an hour 2 tops of FAMILY
i sometimes wonder what it would be like if i lived closer to say Josh....as fun and dreamy as that would be...Im pretty sure Josh would find me clingy and annoying and we'd revert back to High school days AND in the meantime we would both be obese
then again...and maybe because i am a dreamer....i watch shows like the Kardashian and despite the hype and EVERYTHING and EVERY reason that some choose to not like them..the one thing you cant deny is their closeness
another classic family like that is the SMITHS...the bond between the sisters is FIERCE...I would love to have that with my sibs ...regular visits...being a part of each others daily lives.,.,even my Dad's siblings...they are ALL in the same city and they have each other's backs...the SMITH prior generation...once again all the Aunts are in the same area with the exception of one who is like an hour away
to have that support to have that strength beyond all else..is WOW
next topic..the ROYAL WEDDING....so my question is WHY is the world SO obsessed!! Don't get me wrong I do read my fair share of LIFE AND STYLE and PEOPLE magazine BUT i dont feel my world revolves around WILL KATE WEAR HER HAIR UP,, WHO IS PERFORMING AT THE CEREMONY, WHAT DRESS WILL SHE WEAR , HOW WILL IT COMPARE TO DIANA's
dont care dont care dont care
and for the slightest bit of caring im sure when i go to the grocery store on saturday or sunday i can quickly peruse and be updated CASE CLOSED
well tomorrow is FRIDAY...how will YOU make this weekend different from the last...what will YOU do to make it better...WHY wouldnt you create a new memory
DO those around you KNOW where they stand in your life???? if not ...why
the tornados and storms last night force me to end with this thought and i am not on the soapbox-josh..BUT
material things, tangible things....what is their value in our life VS the people who we spend our time with
the people we say I LOVE YOU to..the people who are there on a bad day AND a good day
the people we wake up next to or dream about
how do THOSE real life people compare to those other things, activities, and commitments
if we are too absorbed with the spa and the wheelings and dealings of others and extracurricular activities
you may just be missing out on life and memories that will ultimately mean the most
i would hate to wake up and be 80 and say i wish i had more time...more time with those i love...because im sure it wouldnt be more time with a tv
