Future Me...

Will maybe be able to say "point taken."

But present me still enjoys the debate.

Calling all Best Friend Forever and Ever's and a Day...

So my BFF&E+1 has got itchy feet. Not the gross kind. The traveling kind. That traveling bug got her good. And while we are quite certain that same bug will never nip us, and departure day is still a long ways off, here's our tribute to our BFF (though to be honest, we did kick her out of the trust tree for a couple days last week - guess nobody's perfect!)

We can't do the "all our worldly possessions in a backpack." We never liked backpacks.

We can't share single beds anymore. To be honest, we're not really that good at sharing anything.

Who are we going to call at all hours of the morning, afternoon, evening, night, really late night, so late at night that it's probably morning?

Colour me a little sad. Though unsurprised. We knew this was coming. Years ago. Consider me more than a little excited for her, but of course. But missing her already.

So until then, we are maximizing the time left on the clocks (EST and MDT) and booking the first flight to cow town for a May 2-4 to die for.

Ps. In the meanwhile...

We're accepting applications for a new BFF&E+1.

Qualifications?

Non judgy, excellent wing-girl skills, unlimited phone plan.

Must like spontaneous trips.

Must have opposite (yet somehow still great) taste in boys.

Great spelling and grammar considered an asset.

A lifetime of best girl friends absolutely required.

Tick Tock TIck Tock...

We panic attacked last night.

Not sure we were in the right place, at the right time. Literally, figuratively, maybe throw in whatever-other-ly's that are considered appropriate in this circumstance.

What circumstance, you ask? Maybe it's just me asking? Either way, I'm still telling.

The feeling of unsure trips us up more and more these days.

Life.

All of it.

We love what we do. But could we love something more?

Could we just do more? Hear more? See more? Be more?

We have the same problem with boys, scratch that. Men. (Come to think of that, perhaps that's our main problem...)

We think we loved you. But we always thought we could love someone more.

So we wonder.

Do these thoughts of more make us strive to become a better person?

Or do they hinder our ability to embrace the present, undeniably damaging the future?

We may never know. And, to be completely put-our-hearts-on-the-line honest, we're a little scared to find out.

Things That Would Make My Life Easier...

As I stood and pushed the hot water button to make a large cup of tea this morning, and stood there. And stood there some more. And had to push the button the entire time I wanted the hot water to run. (Yes, perhaps I woke up on the impatient side of the bed just a little too early this fine may-day morning). I thought to myself, wouldn't it be nice if I could just push the button once and then go fill my glass of cold water while the hot water poured itself? Think of all the time I'd save if you counted the (on average) three cups of tea each day, every day.

Wouldn't that make life easier?

What else would make my life easier?

...if we could still have naps, recess and play time.

...if ex-bf's disappeared after you were done with them. Sometimes maybe just a touch before then.

...if I didn't love cheese three times as much as I despise the elliptical.

...if I could read people's minds.

...if they could read mine.

...if the day was approximately 7 hours longer.

...if my tear ducts ran out of tears.

...if I were better at keeping secrets.

...if I would great at saying no.

Would it make life easier? Definitely. Would it make life better? Debatable. Would it be worth it? Undecided.

Time to Pull our Socks Up...

May-days are for pulling our socks up.

At work.

At the gym.

In life.

TCB kids. Let's do this!

Stolen Words...

I've heard this one a few times lately, in the most random of places, so maybe the universe is trying to send me a message. And here's me sending it to you...

"People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel."
