Soo...Moved.

* I got a new laptop. Blog, meet Lappy 9000. Tall, dark and shiny. Likes cheese. The mouse works too. How novel.
* I moved like four times in one week. I own a lot of stuff. Also, my car needs some serious TLC, and by that I don't mean more QT with T-Boz and Chili.
* Have a love/hate relationship with Interstate 81. Have spent a ridiculous amount of time on it, from Canada down to TN. Have lived close to it my whole life. In three states though.
* Realize that I am still struggling with things I thought I got over long ago--things about self-image and self-worth and desirability and purpose. I have great belief in what I could one day do, I have little faith in who I simply am.
* The mix CD that Chris and Rachel made for their wedding this past weekend is fabulous. Everyone should be so lucky to have a copy.
* There are three brothers that live next to me aged 4 to 10 and they all love me. I worry that it's because I am such a child myself. Part of me hopes that's true.
* Wish I could say I have been learning a lot; feel like I've just been sorta surviving this summer, sitting on Go. Now I've gone and I have no idea what to do next.
* Found my Cranberries' "No Need to Argue" CD when I was packing. Forgot that I really liked it.
* I spent half my work day with three 60-something ladies who have lived their entire adult lives within 15 miles of where we work. Life really can be simple sometimes. I love to listen to them talk.

Serious Business

Since I've been at Windy Gap I've gotten even more serious about social justice and historical preservation. Such as this.

It's ok if you aren't as conscious as me. It'll come in time.
Stay strong.
