Hello readers. Last night I was in a bit of a state, as I'm sure you're well aware. Things have been hard the last couple of days, which was not helped by another piece of bad news hitting me square in the chest earlier today. It's not really anything I want to go into, but I'm even more hesitant to return to CB after that.
Whatever. Ticket's bought, passport is sitting on the bedside table at the condo in CO, and I have some loose ends to tie up before I go to Jordan anyway. I'm just not very excited about it.
What is the best way to sever a tie? Is it better to force yourself through every aching pang or to allow it to gradually slip from your mind a little at a time every day? I've been trying the latter (I'm not really into emotional masochism), but I'm wondering if I should try to provoke the pain a little more and just get it over with.
I'm not talking about the breakup here (or not only the breakup); I'm going through Colorado withdrawal. While I am really enjoying everything Houston has to offer, I can't help but feel maudlin every time I see someone's facebook profile picture in the middle of an aspen stand or by a pretty mountain stream. Lately I've thinking of what the trees look like when they finally bud out into leaves.
But Colorado is also a place of a lot of pain and loneliness, too. I have wonderful memories about the area, but I also have some pretty awful ones that revolve around me feeling helpless, alone, abandoned, ineffective.
Jeez, dramatic much? Well, I'm working through all my stuff right now concerning my move, etc, so I guess that's better than stuffing it.
Okay, on to fun Houston stuff.
My sister came in last night for an event we're attending this evening. She's almost seven months pregnant, so when she said she wanted to go shopping we had the choice of maternity stores or shoe shopping.
...Or Kuhl-Linscomb.
Last weekend I met a gentleman who is a buyer for the store. I thought that was pretty unique... until I walked in the store. It's HUGE. The place isn't confined to a single building, it has actually swallowed part of the adjoining block. It is incredibly funky and eclectic, with everything from (almost) life-sized lions in the children's section to a full mock-up kitchen in one of the design areas. Basically, it's like a department store for people who think departments stores are stodgy. Makeup, hair stuff, sunglasses, china, bedding, the list goes on and on. And it's all funky and interesting. I fell in love. Check out their website for more information on their products.
Well, you've had some moaning and some shopping. Sorry this post wasn't more focused. I have 'stuff' I'm working on emotionally and sometimes it spills over into whatever I'm writing.
Here's another depressing song for you to check out. Though it's so pretty it's almost uplifting.
Cheers!
