06.16.11

I had a wonderful birthday.

I didn't go to class because my sister had her baby!  Jaela Noelle, born at 9:04 A.M., 7 lbs. 1 oz. 20 in. Best birthday gift anyone could ask.

I was treated to lunch at IHOP by my long time best friend, Angela.  It was a good lunch date.

I took the hellion to see X-Men:  First Class, which we both loved!  The hellion said, "Mommy, the red one is my favorite.  Who is your favorite?"  I said, "Mystique."  To which he replied, "No, Mommy, her REAL name is Raven!"  Such a smart 4 yr. old.  Proud mommy is proud.

Had a good time that night with my friends, and was still at home in bed by 10 P.M.  Man, I'm the oldest 24 yr. old I know.  I wish I could have taken more pictures, but alcohol prevented that from happening.  Oops...

Birthday Wish List

Several friends have asked what I would like for my birthday.  I don't really know, so I've been trying to think of things I want.

X-Men: First Class with the hellion

Someone to go to class for me so I can relax all day

Breakfast at IHOP

Beauty day at the salon

Tanning package (promote skin cancer!)

Gym membership or its equivalent (i.e. p90x, personal trainer, etc. haha)

One can never go wrong with a gift card to a book store or any store for that matter =)

Tickets to see A Perfect Circle in July (tickets are RIDICULOUSLY expensive though)

Someone to wash & vacuum my car =)

New tattoo

I can't really think of anything else.  I'm not too keen on receiving gifts.  I've always been weird about it.

I would really like to take a day off sometime and go for a ride somewhere.  Take a scenic walk in one of the state parks.  Or have a picnic.  See a play in an old theater.  Gamble in a Mississippi casino and leave with more money than with which I came.  See Mumford & Sons.  Sailing for a day.  Play a good game of volleyball. Yoga.  But more than that, I just really want to have a big dinner with all my friends.  Good food, good drinks, good conversations, etc.

Simple.

After a lonesome night & a few encouraging text messages, I woke up this morning & reminded myself that "this too shall pass."

To get back to my happy place, I decided to pay more attention to the details of my day.  Things that made me happy and grateful:

• Having a job that exhausts me.
• Inside jokes with co-workers.
• Seeing my innocent little nephew smile.
• Reading a book outside while watching my hellion swim in the swimming pool.
• Watching my mother grill a Philipino delicacy alongside grilled corn on the cob, with such ease.  
• Eating said delicacy and realizing how much my parents have sacrificed for me.
• My dad.  My heart swells with love & admiration.
• Watching my parents water the garden together.
• Hearing my hellion say, "Mommy, you make me happy."

The little things.

Closure.

I've been wanting to write this post for weeks now, but I haven't really made the time to do so.

I don't know if you're reading this, or if you ever will read this, but I'm sending it out into the web anyways.
I apologize for what happened towards our relationship's end, and I hope that there are no hard feelings now.  I look back on our time together as one of wonderful times, with us being friends in many ways that we both needed.  I miss that friendship, but I hope that you can now look at our time together without the cloud of complications & distress that hovered over the end of our relationship.
I don't want you to associate my memory with bitterness.  I want you to remember me as the one who tore down your walls, who helped you open yourself, & who led you to where you are now, with whom you're with now.
I wish you nothing but happiness.
I am sincerely, truly, genuinely happy for you.


Love always,
C
