The weekend at home

Sure, it had its moments, like getting to meet my new nephew, hanging out at the salon with Lindy long after she'd finished with my hair, and singing in the SDCC concert, but overall?

Let's just say I'm summing it up by saying I was home long enough to remember why I left.

There's nothing quite like telling your mother you carry a lot of guilt around and having her ask why, and then moments later in the same conversation hearing the disappointment in her voice when she asks why you lied to her about your new boyfriend. I also didn't like the embarrassment of having to explain to all my old choir friends - who were hearing about my wedding plans last time we all saw each other a year go - that I'm not actually married now.

Guilt, shame, embarrassment, general awkwardness - yes, I changed states just in time. Too bad the residual self-ickyness from the trip hasn't quite worn off yet.

Hooray! (And not for the ickiness). I got my new computer a few months ago, and because my old computer died on me, I could never find your blog again. Until today. This joyous day when I got to finally catch up. I miss you a ton, and hope things are getting better again now that you are back in WA.
