Full Moon Week

So, there I was, it was a week like any other, only it was a full moon week.
My second in Tennessee.

As the moon was waxing to full, the week was unfolding. It turned out to be an amazing week.

Monday was a lazy day of getting productive on my room. I rearranged it and hung some pictures and made it more like home. I did some laundry and cleaned the kitchen. I hung up pictures of the kids and by the kids and I feel like they are here with me in spirit.

Tuesday I had a friend over for dinner. I made ham & kugali because it was a Tuesday and I could. I told all the stories that we'd tell over the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. The Twins in the Apple Barrel, the Roller Skates. I can't wait to tell them the Hawk Lady story. I love that one. We've been eating the leftovers all week. They are great with a scrambled egg in the middle. Yum. I also made three desserts, mainly because then my roommate could take some leftovers to work for the hungry people there. I made Oreo Truffles, Almond and Vanilla Biscotti, and tCakes. They were all delightful. After we stuffed ourselves, we went to Steve & Barry's at the mall and my friend bought me a really cool t-shirt and got a really cool shirt for themselves. I love it. The company was better than the food or the stuff any day of the week.

Wednesday I got some pictures from Pop at work, one of Caetie, one of Mike, and one of J. They made me miss those faces and love them from TN. I hope that they looked up at the full moon and felt me missing them. After work I went out to Waffle House with a friend from work. She's kookie, I kind of enjoy her company. We are going to make Wednesday nights our "girl's night out" from now on, I think.

Thursday was game night at the home of some new friends. It was a lot of fun. I've never played Scene It before. I think that J would love this game. I'll never think the same of Spite & Malice again and listening to the game Beer Money with the group of friends that were playing was almost as entertaining as the games. The company was great and it was a lot of fun. I'm glad that I was included among the guests.

Friday was a long night at work. I came home and did some laundry and watched some tv and read a book and it was a good night to chillax and regroup and recharge.

Saturday we got out of work before 11:30PM on an ad night. I was amazed. I was stunned. I thought, KARAOKE! I decided to spend some time at the bar with the friends and the singing and the adorable bartender and it was actually a lot of fun. I talked about Caetie because one of my friends runs a haunted house that they wrote the storyline for. She is also writing a graphic novel and I think that Caetie would really enjoy her conversation. I'm glad that I went out and had fun and was silly. I got home and read until I fell asleep.

Sunday I woke up and thought of the kids. They only have a few weeks of summer vacation left. I hope that they are having a great time. I hope that J is enjoying the beach. I think he has gills, he loves the water so. I took a shower and settled in to read when a friend called and asked what I was doing. Well, nothing, come on over before I head to work. We had a great visit and I can't wait to see them again. They just make me laugh and I feel so much better when I have a day of laughter over a day of self-involvement. I thought of the sock all day and it just made me giggle.

The moon is starting to wane again and tonight on my way home it was at the horizon and it was huge and red. It was amazing.

I can't wait to see what the next week has to bring.

I hope that you are here with me in person or in spirit.
