Mom...

Happy birthday, Mom.  I miss you terribly. 

She is always with me.  Little things remind me of her.  Last night there at our dinner theatre we were at a "meet and greet" with some of the cast, and fellow season ticket holders and there is a woman who is older than us that I started to talk with.  She is a piano teacher, 57 years.  She wears these cute matchy skirts, shirts, vests that remind me of mom's fashion sense.  She and her husband attend the symphony, they come to the dinner theatre.  *sigh*  I bet mom and dad would love coming to the Alhambra with us.

In the teacher's lounge, co-workers talk about their parents, and I get a little envious.  I laugh at their stories, nod as they talk about the crazy things their mothers do and wish for my mom's witty, dry comments to keep me in check. 

One more call, one more hug, one more piano duet...I would still want more.

that's what I'm talking about...

I get that I'm a fundamental kind of person. I ask the usual question when you get home. How was your day? What did you get for lunch?  Anything new?  ...and of course, you give me your run-of-the-mill answers.  Fine, blah blah blah... But then a day later you send me a picture of something that you bought while you were at a store and expect me not to start "narrating possible situations" because you don't write anything with that picture.  I'm just supposed to know.   This is why I feel confused and left out of your world.  Because you don't share those little details that I would love to get.  I know....basic girl crap....you know what?  It's basic because that is how it should be ...basic information sharing. 

odd...

Isn't getting a raise a good thing? Isn't it something you tell your partner?  Apparently not in this household. I'm tired of his lack of wanting to share things with me. I'm tired of this fight...

Some days I think I'd be happier being single because I wouldn't have any expectations of people...  Feeling meh...lonely... dismissed...
