More Tracey Time

Tracey got to escape away to Texas on her spring break. I was so lucky to have this soul sista come and visit. Time was short and we packed a lot in during the time we had.

 

 

For her first outing...I took her to the fabulous Sam Moon accessory store. Needless to say, our adventure began. Nothing like some Texas BLING !!!



 

We had plans to go to dance lessons with some of my friends...however the server was a tad slow and we never made it.  

On Friday, we had plans to go see Le Freak...so a little goodwill shopping and popping of tags was in order.

 

 

 

 

Tracey definitely won the ugly outfit contest

 

Bring on some Le Freak and awesome food and people

Our attempt at funky 70's outfits turned out to be just cute

 

Saturday night, we went to the Glass Cactus to listen to the band Suede. They were okay...nothing to impressive. However, we had a fab time dancing the night away. And nothing like receiving some compliments from a variety of men complimenting us on looking great in our jeans and boots.

 

Sunday was spent re-cooperating and watching a few movies and editing over 100 photos. Our time went by far too quick....and I will so miss this girlfriend!

 

New Blog

I think there was a glitch with allowing access to my new blog. I believe that it is now fixed and everyone should be able to get on now.

A New Blog



Since life is starting anew, I decided to create a new blog. A place to share my new beginnings...challenges...and life as it unfolds. I hope that you will join me in part two of my life.

I lost my boot

My foot is starting to have good bone regrowth and so this past Wednesday the doctor told me that I could ditch the boot. What glorious words to hear. I have now been trying to learn how to re-walk while wearing two regular shoes. It has been a bit awkward...and at times I find my self tripping. And there is the issue of my foot really not fitting into too many of my shoes. This will resolve with time...but for the moment....I must say that I do not miss that boot.

Now maybe I will eventually be able to start exercising in the near future. My next appointment is in three weeks.

Sunday Blahs

Sometimes Sundays are...a bit BLAH...LONELY...and full of REFLECTION these days. They are a bit downright tough to muster through at times. I had been warned about this from a variety of single adults over the months {SIGH}. Today is a day that I get it.

I have been attempting to go to church. After all, I do have a handful of friends that have been a great support that I like to socialize with. I also enjoy singing the uplifting hymns. But let me tell you, most Sundays I could just pass on right now. Church is a place to watch families that are happy...pretend to be happy...remember the good times of my past life...reflect on the imperfections....and wonder what the future holds...blah blah blah.

I sent Nathan a text today letting him know that the house was too quiet. That Thumper and I missed him extra today. He replied back that he was pretty bored today also.

I have a lot of time on my hands right now (actually since my surgery). I am sure that after I get a new job, that I will look back and think the quietness of today would be lovely. I am sure that as I adjust to the choices that I have made...that I will eventually adapt.

But at this time...I wonder where one goes to find new friends {HMMM}.

Back to the grind...for some

Vacation has came to an end.... I am a little bummed. Yesterday, I did a marathon drive and took Nathan back to school. The car was loaded with plenty of water, pretzels, a new microwave (courtesy of grandma and grandpa), foot locker and plenty of pain meds, and whatever else he needed.
The drive down was pleasant. We saw a man and his kid riding a horse in the hospital district of Houston {weird}. Enjoyed a dinner together and made sure the kiddo was settled in. And somehow, I made it back without any new issue arriving.

Today, the house was again far too quiet...and...even Thumper was pouty all day. I started to rearrange/reorganize the house to keep distracted. It is definitely time to make it back to work. Hopefully, the foot continues to heal and a new job comes my way.
