High/Low 10.22.06

Hiety Ho my lovelies,

I know.. I know.. it's been a LONG LONG time.. and your wondering where the hell i've been.. shoot I've been wondering the same thing myself... (side note to say HOLY CRAP that it's been since August 17th since i've written.. whew! long time!!!) lots of changes since I last wrote.. let's see...

I've been at my new job since August 28th.. and it's a LOT nicer to only be 15 minutes from home again instead of 60-75.. the office is awesome.. a full height window wall looking out onto the Potomac River... and while I was a little concerned about one of my co-workers.. they have decided to resign so that was an answer to my only cause of alarm. I get a good vibe at this job.. is it my Spiritual Shop? no. Is it my successful greeting card line? no again.. but I think once i get a bit more experience under my belt.. it will end up being a great place to work. I do miss my salesperson from my last job..we worked together so well but i keep in touch with him... it's strange.. I've had so many jobs but somewhere in my soul I get this strange feeling that this will be the last job I have here .. in this area.. I think the next job change I will have will be out of the area...

I don't know.. somethings changed.. i've changed.. I feel like i've been historically trying to live in the choppy waters of my emotional life.. just reacting from everything and that for the first time in my life.. I feel calm.. not overly emotional or unsettled... and it feels so damn nice...

Ok so i haven't talked to you in a while.. so let me say.. Things with Kevin have gotten really good.. I'm really happy.. wow. Let's just say something shifted.. around Labor Day.. (ok.. we all who have been with my High/Low for a long time know what it was..I gave up my security blanket (Peter) and I found something beautiful and amazing waiting there in it's shadows.. I didn't know it would or could be so life altering.. but it has been.. I was scared.. of being rejected and on top of it lose the one person who has seemingly been there thru all the ups and downs of being an adult (or trying to) well.. I'll always care about Peter.. wonder how he's doing (we haven't and can't talk right now).. but the energy I was NOT giving to Kevin.. was substantial.. and when I changed my focus.. I found a beautiful relationship there.. like BAM! And I've uncovered over the past 2 months or so.. that he's actually been the answer to the prayer I have been "whoa is me'ing" about for years..but was hidden behind a shitload of doubt and fear... He's tall, smart, intelligent, loves music and art. and traveling and is quite self aware for being a guy.. and for some reason he loves to hang out with me... I'll tell you more as time passes.. but just know i'm really happy... that I am a girlfriend to a great guy... I see a future.. WE see a future.. (ok other job change would be to be a mom? can you believe i'm saying that??????) and It makes me really happy... I am very blessed. Thank you God.

My mom is still recovering from her foot surgery on July 20th.. she's STILL in a cast.. slow recovery but she's in a walking boot so she can get around.

Oh.. Angela my roommate.. in the 9th hour..decided to stay with me till April ( I will be moving out of the house as of the beginning of May) and I"m glad about that. We are roommates passing in the nite but it's good having the extra 'Rainy Day fund" money.. and I do enjoy her company when I get to catch up with her... I'm not sure where my next move is too.. Probably back toward where I used to live.. OR... out of the state (HOTlanta perhaps?) only time will tell....

Kevin and I flew down to Asheville, NC to see my girl Kyra and her boyfriend Dave.. good times.. it was so good to see them.. only stinky part was the flight down..significantly delayed and we ended up skipping our side trip to visit Matthew :( Oh.. and i fractured my foot in 2 places (hairline fracture) and I find myself wearing the ultra sexy and feminine looking BOOT on my foot.. for 2 weeks.. grrr...

And I'm also really happy to say that I talked to my Kindred Spirit Michelle last weekend and that made me really happy.. I miss her a lot.. and am hopeful that our friendship will grow from here..

Naomi is doing AWESOME on the comedy circuit! She has all these gigs.. and comedy competitions.. it's pretty amazing.. what one person can do with their dream!! GO Naomi!!

That's about it.. it's fall.. holidays are coming.. I'm feeling good about it (ok i'll never feel good about snow but still) The change..the settling in.. it feels good in this Kerilyns mushy girl heart..

hope that's enough catching up for now... I miss you all that i dont' talk to often (Felton, Joe, Danielle, just to name a few) but know that you are a part of me.. every day.. and have made me who I am and I love who I am as a person...

Love you all.. Fill me in on you!
