"The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present." ~ Barbara De Angelis
So far this week has been busy and isn't stopping yet! Tonight I'm off to a nursery to find tulip andaffodilll bulbs for my Mom's birthday gift. Then I have to plan two more games for Karen's shower on Sunday.
I'm really looking forward to this trip home. Autumn weather here I come! Looking forward to those clear blue skies and cool fall breeze. I know the leaves probably haven't started changing yet but it's the weather that I love most. I'm also looking forward to seeing my family too. It seems that whenever they come to visit I never have enough time to spend with them and I really hate it. This trip won't afford me much time with them either unfortunately. I get home at 9pm on Friday and leave at 3pm on Monday. The shower is on Sunday afternoon.
Going home also gives me an opportunity to once again mine through all the junk I still have there and figure out if I need to bring any of it back with me. There are a few things I want to dig up. Well mostly books. I have TONS of books still there. There is this one book that I bought when I worked at Chapters called 'All About Me'. It was basically a book of questions that you filled in. It came to mind the other day and I'm curious to pull it out and see how ridiculous my answers were. I love time capsules they are so intriguing and this one was done back in 1996 so I'm sure it's gonna be funny to see how ten years have passed.
I remember that at the time I bought the book I was conversing with two guys in the states over email. I told them about the book so with every email I would send them one page worth of questions that I had answered and they would send me back their answers. It was fun because some of the questions were interesting and it really helped in getting to know each other. It was an interesting tool for introspection for all three of us. There was a whole section on sex which I was going to skip cause I thought it was too personal for them but neither cared so we went through that chapter too. Now I wouldn't care one way or the other but back then it still seemed taboo. Ah how things change.
Maybe once I get it I'll post the questions on my blog with my then and now answers. That should be entertaining if anyone reads this. I think I'll censor it for public consumption though. There is some stuff I reserve for only certain people in my life.
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of this trip. Lots of pictures of trees, rocks and stars.
