Yeah for Friday Night date nights

Yeah for Weaver St market!
Its Friday, that means its time for our little walk to dinner date. Drew started asking me last night if I was excited "for tomorrow"..."Whats tomorrow, I asked? " "Weaver St date night" he sighed.

Its a bit warmer than it was last time we walked to our place for friday night dinner. Its 5:40 and still light out, and at least in the mid 50s as the sun sets. Nice night for a walk with someone you love :)

Its been really nice the last few days here, the mornings have reminded me of walking to school in Arizona in Jan/Feb. Below freezing at sunrise, but by midday we were taking off our layers and quite comfortable in pants and a light shirt.

Its so funny how certain sounds or smells (like college kids barely getting the sleepys out of their eyes walking and biking to school) will take you to a place that really only exists in your head anymore. Not that Tucson doesn't exists, but that time in my life is not longer actually there. Our apartment is lived in by someone else...wonder who got our bed? hahaha!! Sometimes college is another lifetime ago, and then sometimes it seems like just yesterday. My roommate hasn't changed, we sleep on different sides of the bed now, but we still have the same habits. I always went to bed earlier, he was always up later watching tv, studying, or visiting with my other roommates...and I always got up earlier in the mornings. Though morning and night have changed a bit,..a late night is no longer 4am, and an early morning isnt 9am anymore either!

Well that was a nice little walk down memory lane. No longer on nightly walks and rambling talks with Drew in Tucson as barely 20somethings...they have grown as we have, into a special time we get to spend with one another. It used to be that we needed to walk to get off campus because neither of us had a car, we would walk down to 4th av to Bisonwich's and get a soup and 1/2 sandwich. Now in our 30s (well almost for me) we walk because we like to, no more Bisonwich's, but now Weaver St Market...I am in whole food/coop heaven, its like a little piece of my favorite parts of Tuscon, right here in NC for me.

to pounce

much closer to Drew, but never-the-less...its out there,
ever so close...
sayin, "hey kid...I'm comin for ya...theres no hiding from me"
(I imagine this is said in the voice of the creepy old dude from family guy, with
just the slightest hint of a whistle lisp...haha love that guy!)

Its like stepping in dog shit, you assume it will never happen to you, it happens
to everyone else instead...and then bam...you've stepped in that nasty 30. Its
all over your shoe, and it stinks!
Just watch out you young 20somethings....its waaaaiiitting!

new, larger number now! :)
