Stuck inside

Now that I remember how to go out, I am stuck inside. I am in Iowa and it is cold and cloudy and raining and soon to be snowing. It is boring. I forget how much of a city girl I am, and how much of a desert girl I am, until I come back here and sit, and sit, and sit, and sit and freeze my butt off. I miss the sun. I miss being out. I wish I were going out.

Perhaps I will call Julie and see if she has escaped the Denver snow. Maybe Julie and I can go out.

On the bright side, home provides an instant babysitter. Grandma and Grandpa are very helpful at times. So if I do find a place to go out to, I won't have to cancel because I don't have a place for Ray. (Such was the case this past weekend with the boy-man.)

Only a little while longer until I travel back to my warm and sunny city. Until then I will enjoy my family and friends as I bundle myself in woolens and sip hot tea.

Merry Christmas!

Going Out

I'm going out tonight. Yippee!!!

On Monday I decided that I am going to take my life back, and I have been doing just that all week. Tuesday I worked late and left Ray at daycare rather than rush out to pick her up. Thursday I skipped class to go and climb a mountain. Tonight Ray is at a friend and I am going to go out.

I'm not sure I remember how to go out, so this may be a challenge. But I remember that I was once a crazy, fun-loving party girl, so I am sure that once I get downtown I'll figure out what to do--or at least once I get a few drinks down. (Of course, that part I've never forgotten.)

I like my newfound independence. I think I will become an advocate for the liberation of single parents everywhere. Life is good--especially when you have one.
