I love ya, Sis. :) And thanks for the prompting to blog. Hope you enjoyed the updates on the previous two entries.
I started the evening at Anna's, having dinner and watching a movie. French Kiss, actually. It's one of Anna's favorites and I had not seen it before. Thought it was cute. Anna's sick right now :( so I decided to not push my luck by staying for a second movie. So, there I was, before 9pm and with no plans. Yikes, what's a social girl to do?!? Heehee. Actually, I spent couple of hours in last night so I'm not a hopeless case on the relaxing front! Anywoo, back to tonight. I had an invite from the current boy, who's a bartender, to come have a few drinks at his bar and I thought about venturing over to the good ol' Kentucky Inn to see if one of my fave bartenders, Michael or Matt, were there. In the end, I realized I just wanted to be by myself for awhile. I'm happy with my decision. :)
Enjoying a tasty bottle of Liveli's Salento Primitivo that I picked up two months ago and have been holding onto for a special occasion. It has a bit more bite (I know, I know, I need a better descriptor!) than I prefer. And I'm listening to Jordin Sparks. Again. I love her album, and it definitely takes me back to the tour. I'm back on the side of the stage with one of my many wonderful memories...just taking it all in and it being MY world, watching each band member and knowing them, Jetski dancing with me, a sweet hug from Chris at the last show, hearing my Savior's precious thoughts in God Loves Ugly.
I leave for my next tour in a week. At this time, I'm apprehensive. Not quite ready to go back and quite honestly, a bit scared of the prospect and meeting more people that I connect with and then having to say good-bye again. I did a pretty good job of protecting my heart on this last tour but it was only 4 weeks and by week 3, I was already getting close. Celtic is 11 weeks. :O Yeah, I'll admit I'm scared. The heart is a vulnerable thing...and I want to live boldly and love those around me fully but it gets a bit harder each time that heart is hurt, walked on, used, lied to, forgotten... But you, my friends, know me, and I can only live this life by being brave and opening it. Time and time again. :)
In the meantime, I've still got plenty of social commitments, my first 10k race!!, packing for tour (did break down and get a larger suitcase - still hope to keep it to one, though!) and packing up my possessions again as I give up my rental (gonna miss the STAR palace!)
So much more to say but I'm going to work on getting more pics on FB. :)
hugs
