A perfectly lovely woman named Sue invited me to share her table at the airport Chili's after we had waited in line for a while together. So instead of eating solo while hunched over a laptop and two iPhones simultaneously, I got to meet someone new and talk shop about our respective careers and relationships. Sometimes it is so much easier to speak openly and honestly to a total stranger. It reminds me that no matter how different we are, so much of the human experience is the same. Ironically, she was going home to Indianapolis which is where I had just left on my way home.
Why do we need to take a tram to get through an airport to move us from one sitting position to another? Is it really that hard for able-bodied people to WALK?!?!? Well I proved it was possible and even enjoyable to walk instead of tram from terminal B to terminal D at Atlanta's airport. I had been itching for movement so it was perfect.
I have just decided that Justin Timberlake is attractive. I think it has less to do with him and more to do with the similarities between him and my boyfriend. In the interview I just read with JT in my Vanity Fair (which I am zealously devoted to reading cover to cover every month) he is fiercely creative, thoughtful, and introspective. These are some of my absolute favorite qualities in my boyfriend-ones that complement my ordinariness and ones that inspire me to emulate them to the best of my ability.
I am excited to be coming home for a few weeks. A change of scenery has been good for me mentally, physically, and emotionally. But now it's time to focus my energy and attention to my life at home. I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends and hope to see my mom this weekend. Today is her 64th birthday. And though she will never let me say it (I guess I can here)- she is so brave, so caring, so generous. I owe so much of who I am to her and I hope she never doubts how much I love her.
