Homesick

Today I am feeling very homesick. I think it is mostly because my mom just left yesterday after a way too short visit and I wish I could have gone with her. I think it is also because we got the new Viewpoint as well as an invite for my 5 year reunion. I normally scoff at most of the articles in the Viewpoint and think of them as pretentious and irrelevant, and roll my eyes at the posed pictures of the white-haired men that run the place as if women's lib was a silly stage that the awful government makes us half-heartedly acknowledge, but this time it just brought back great memories. I have been really missing old friends, and some of those acquaintances that I really spent most of my time with (Dorie, are you out there? It seems like I should know where you are and what you are doing, but I don't! Anyone have her email?). It is a bittersweet feeling to know that college is over...I know, it was over long ago, but the reality takes time to set in. I mean, all those weddings kept me in the college mentality for a while, not to mention the fact that Matt is STILL in school, but those days are also long gone. I wish I could go to my 5 year reunion, but it is too close to Christmas to consider going there and back...oh, well. Also, I was listening to the cd from Josh and Kallie's wedding this morning, which just made me miss everybody.

The baby just woke up from an awesomely long nap, so the feeling is coming back to my leg...oh, man. I tried yoga bellydancing this morning. It was pretty cool. Super easy and quick for those of us who have a hard time fitting in a real workout. Now the baby is laying on the dog, giving him kisses on his belly. They are so funny.

Well, I guess quiet time is over. Miss you all.

To college days!
