Still Waiting For Pots To Boil…
No baby or baby tooth news.
Today I took kids to the Tucson Children’s Museum. It was a blast. We spent the first half of our time with my cousin, her 2 year old, and my aunt and the second half with my oldest (longest?) friend, her 1 year old, and her S.O.
Let me tell you a little bit about my friend–the oldest/longest one. She used to introduce me to people as her best friend from the 70’s. We met in the 6th grade and that must have been 1979 or so for her description to be accurate. That’s way too much math so I’ve just believed her all these years. We didn’t actually like each other for several years after we met. It was some time during our senior year in high school when we had a ton of mutual friends that we eventually became great friends. But we have always been different from each other. She was "the good one" and I…well…I wasn’t. I loved sleeping around and she was always looking for love.
I think it was a huge surprise when I found what she was looking for when she was doing all the right things to find it and I was hooching around. But now she’s with this wonderful man that seems like he’s been around forever. And they have this beautiful daughter together.
We are still different, this friend of mine and me. But I feel very different from a lot of my friends (shout out to the vegans, vegetarians, anti-Barbies, Mormons, Christians, Jews, Wiccans, skinnies, and my hubby). What I love about this friend and many of my other friends that I don’t see often is that when we are together all the time apart seems to melt away.
Tomorrow we will still be in Tucson and maybe we’ll see other friends, or go to visit other places–new or old. Maybe a tooth will fall out. Maybe an extra special baby will be born. Maybe we’ll make it out to the hotel pool and remember the importance of re-applying sunscreen on a red haired/freckled faced nephew. Who knows.
Did I mention that I’m having a great time? This has been a wonderful vacation. I still miss my hubby (hey, are you checking my blog to see if I’m writing anything embarrassing?), but I’m loving my life right now.
