Sometimes I feel like your last paragraph, except without the hugging, cuddling and love of another person. And being a year older.

And phooey to the fur babies not counting. But I guess family is good at giving that kind of pressure. Overall, it sounds like a fantastic visit.

Chilly time of year to go to Vermont.

I have no wisdom for you cause I am mostly right where you are. Especially because I am contemplating change myself- not relationshipwise, but perhaps jobwise. I think that is why we understand each other so well. I am glad you have Dawg now to help you through this time of change. You are a very wiry Poppy and will be just fine. I have the utmost confidence in you, and I love these kind of posts where you really lay things out. They are very REAL.

I think that sometimes you don’t realize how much you have grown until you visit where you were from.

That is my mote of wisdom for the day.

The “Where The Wild Things Are” figure is an ornament. Hallmark really knows how to rake in the dough on sentimentality. They always have great things both current and from your childhood.

It was good to see you Sis and to meet person who makes you happy. Maybe next time you come we will have more time to play with the legos!

Oh, and the booberry rollup was a tasty treat and I don’t even like rollups. Definitely gift worthy!

Don’t ever underestimate your awesomeness and worthiness, my Poppyfriend. And, like Dawg, I’m so happy to be part of your new life, too, even if I don’t get to sleep with you. :)

I had one of those moments last week–I know how hard it is.

I see the two of you together and I see that you are ‘home’

Good to see you can go home again, but here is where you belong.

Welcome back.

Wow. That was a long comment. But I got lost in memories of my beloved Frisco burger and forgot to say that I’d really like to kick the ass of whoever made you feel like you were not the most awesome person in the world. Because you so are.

When I was pregnant, I constantly craved a Hardees Frisco Burger. We saw tons and tons of Hardees along the way to Georgia but I kept saying I wanted to wait until we were actually in Georgia because delayed gratification is always the best kind, right? Well – after planning this trip to Georgia for two months and thinking about Hardees and seeing Hardees every six miles or so – we go there to get me a frisco burger and they said that they don’t make them anymore! I’ll admit it – I cried.

*Turns out – they still do. That bitch lied to me. I almost drove back to Georgia to kick her ass. Also – just so you know – the Cracker Barrel in Fort Benning, GA SUCKS.

Another time – on a drive to Tennessee, still pregnant here, I wanted Steak N Shake. We saw tons of them and I said “Okay – next Steak N Shake, we are stopping.” Guess what? That was the last Steak N Shake on the whole trip. I’ll admit it – I cried then too.
