I learned so much over the past couple of weeks I need to record so that I don't forget these very valuable lessons....
- No matter how old or responsible you are, your parent(s) still see you as a little girl and will therefore withhold vital information so that you don't worry too much.
-
Being with a close friend who lives far away is some of the best therapy around and it is free.
-
A new hair cut/color/new makeup can do wonders for your mental state of mind.
-
Finding out someone that you really looked up to and held in high regard is really in fact human and makes very human mistakes is really humbling but also disappointing to know that in fact their judgment can be THAT impaired.
-
For the most part people in airports need to chill out and quit being such assholes.
-
It is very hard to sympathize, even empathize, with someone who wants something so badly that they cannot see beyond their desire to notice that what they have is actually pretty good.
-
It is very important to support your friends unconditionally even if you think they are being overly sensitive.
-
Going away for a few days is therapeutic and the family you leave behind will miss you terribly but it does not make them appreciate everything you do for them
-
Outdoor weddings in the mountains are truly beautiful even if the bride is not very nice and the groom appears to have lost his mind..
-
In higher altitudes alcohol affects you much quicker and not noticing that fact can result in a 32 hour hangover that will leave you curled in the fetal position wishing for a Gatorade drip.
-
That I do have people in my life who love me for me and would do anything for me and it was good to be reminded of that.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I so wish we could have gotten together....next time.
I was once at a concert here...years ago and one woman was like, dude I had half a beer here and was totally drunk last night..the whole audience laughed. It's so true though.

Sounds like Eiser's wedding was a good getaway. Who all was there? BTW...I know someone who knows you (from college, plus maybe church when you were younger?: tall, very blonde, Delta, poms, singer, flutist) who is going through some similar things are you are. I shared with her and sent her your blog address. So, you might be hearing from her soon.
