I had a great Labor Day weekend. My life-long friend, Cindy, and her beautiful family came down from Michigan to visit me here in Cincy for the weekend. We watched Jessen play water polo and went to the zoo, to the pool, and to see the fireworks on the River. We also drank a lot of beer (love Oberon mini-kegs!) and ate Skyline dip until we thought we'd explode. The best part though was just spending time with a dear friend, whom I greatly admire and love and adore....just as much as I did back in school. It's hard to believe that I've been friends with Cindy since I was 8 or 9 and spending time with her now, it just doesn't even seem like we were ever out of touch. I was so sad to see them go, but I know it won't be too long until we can see one another much more often.
Speaking of life-long friends, my dear friend, Jacque, and I are headed to see U2 this weekend at Soldier Field in Chicago. This stop kicks off their North American tour which should bring a great energy to the show. I'm not only excited about going simply because, HELLO, this is Ufucking2!!!! but I'm also very excited because this has been an item on my life list for quite some time and we all know how I love making lists and subsequently crossing things off them once they are completed. Living is AWESOME!
I am thrilled to be going with Jacque for a couple of reasons...one being that she is another friend that dates back to grade school and I simply adore her and secondly because she is about the most hardcore U2 fan I know. When I originally bought the tickets, I did so with the intention of going to the show with someone else and it's been difficult for me to not be tremendously disappointed by the fact that it's not going to happen, especially since there has been no real closure to the whole situation. So, I am trying to focus on the great time that I'm going to have and less on the missing. After all, it doesn't do me a lot of good to waste anymore of my heart on someone who clearly doesn't care. But anyway, I am certain I will have a great time with Jacque.
There is a bunch of other stuff going on and I've got some other huge developments happening this weekend but I'll have to keep that under wraps for a wee bit longer.
Yes, I am a TEASE.
I will just say that I'm trusting the universe and I'm amazed sometimes by how good the world can actually be.
