maybe its just because I have been really bored and lonely, but I am growing very personally attached to my forest. I love my trees. I mentally greet them every time I come or go. its possible I am losing it. but when I wake up to a misty, fog-filled forest, its just another mysteriously addicting moment to add to our... relationship. sigh. I will only have a few years in the trees, I think, so I am going to appreciate it. truly. soak. it. in.
Okay so I realize that I need friends other than trees. I really am lonely and bored. I am trying, and will keep trying, to take every opportunity to get myself out there and learn names and make friends. but man. its hard. and nerve wracking. everyone here is so nice. so nice. but sometimes... I miss laughing. laughing hard. sarcasm, wise cracks, witty banter, cleverness, sarcasm, snide remarks, to the side commentary, dry dry dry humor...sarcasm... Pleasantries are wonderful. My husband is quite hilarious. But sometimes a girls gotta laugh from her GUT.
thank goodness for blogs... keep me laughing guys, consider it compassionate service.

trees can be great friends... ever read the giving tree? one of my all time favorite children's books.
the main thing i miss by living in arizona are the trees. i don't think it's unhealthy - it's happy.
yes, i had mandy when i moved here. but even with her, it was a while before i felt comfortable in this new environment to let those belly laughs out. but they do come. i promise. and don't be scared to come home and visit - leaving is bittersweet. it is hard leaving the parents and siblings again, but it's nice to have built the little life for yourself and your own family. there is satisfaction and joy in that. that's how i feel anyway.
i don't log on for a couple days and 2 new posts? i should take blogging breaks more often.
chels, you gotta just put yourself out there. everyone will see how great you are. and the people that don't are just jealous...that's what i tell myself all the time;)
the best kind of friend is one who will banter back and forth with you. (and that is why spencer and i get along so well.) i'd take witty banter and sarcasm over pleasantries any day.
I'm sad you had to move to Washington to realize how much you love me! No seriously, we should have definitely hung out more. What happened to our grand plan of forcing our daughters to be life long friends?
I can't wait to see you in a few weeks! I hope having all of us girls together gets you laughing from your gut!
Speaker for the Dead! My favorite book about trees (and maybe my favorite book for that matter).
OK, I've got a great joke that will illicit that from-the-gut laughter you desire:
Why did the chicken cross the road twice and take a shower?
I dunno myke, why did the chicken cross the road twice and take a shower???
you've got to be kidding. i look at these comments pre-myke's-punchline? you know i'll be checking this all night.
and the closest i get to trees right now is the wooden table i'm sitting at. i think there's a cactus down the road though..
BECAUSE HE WAS A DIRTY DOUBLE CROSSER!!!
zing!!!
worth it.
so i'm a little behind on the blog reading...
i feel your pain with the loneliness and the boredom. i went through the same thing when we moved to san diego. it's getting better though. in fact, i've found a witty and sarcastic friend. my favorite kind.
