High/Low 9.19.04

Hey there everybody,

how are ya? How was your weekend? Mine.. was too short. Saturday the weather was overcast and dreary here in the D.C. area... and today.. was georgeous! Today was the type of day that I am glad to be alive. Not a cloud in the sky.. that twinge of chill in the air.. a little Post it Note on our skin reminding us that the leaves will soon fall.. and the hopes of warm sweaters (if your lucky maybe it will be Cashmere) and hot chocolate with marshmallows. I love this time of year.. people getting ready to slow down for the winter.. it's subtle.. but if you pay attention.. you can feel it. A sadness.. of the summer gone by.. children lugging their books back to school... ahh... love it.

High: This weekend was low key, nothing magnamous. Friday, went to the gym then sat in front of TV with glass of vino.. Saturday I spend the day at the Alexandria Homeownership Assistance program class.. 10-5:30.. I learned SOO much about buying a house.. what's involved.. how much money is actually involved.. whew.. When I am ready to buy.. I feel that taking this class will have better prepared me.. I think most people should take a class like this. Saturday was again..a chill out nite. Today I went to Ihop with my girl Cathy.. went to get food so I DON'T eat out this week (trying to save money) laundry and cleaning.. talked to my girl Michelle on the phone... made yummy dinner (corn on the cob, feta/spinach/chicken sausages and a salad) watched the pre-emmy show.. Watched the emmy's long enough to catch a glimpse of my "hi,i'm 14 years old again" crush, Zach Braff.

Low: Moments of frustration.. I wanted to clean more.. but I also wanted to relax.. didn't get as much cleaning done as I wanted. Had some time this weekend to go over what's going on in my life TRYING to appreciate all I have going on.. but I am still working on being OK with my expectations of where I thought I was going to be vs. where I actually am. It makes me sad sometimes.. but I am grateful to have all I do.

Anyway folks.. this is probably going to be a busy week for me.. I have a feeling I'm going to be going up to New Jersey this week to go to Peter's grandfathers funeral... it's a matter of days before he crosses over. I was already going up there to visit my girlfriend Kyra.. but who knows now.. might have to go up earlier.

I hope you all a wonderful week. Tread lightly on yourself.
Ancora Imparo.
Love you all,
Kerilyn
