This & That

Thank you for all your posts!  I can't believe I got my daughter-in-law's school loyalty wrong!!  Big faux paus.  I don't know about the before & after pictures of my forehead cysts.  Y'all are just going to have to take my word for it.  They are there & the surgery is for me, no one else. 

Don't tell anyone, but I've signed up for the Colonial Harley-Davidson's motorcycle 3-day instructional class.  I'm taking it April 8 to 10th.  If I can actually learn how to ride it, I may then take the DMV's 2-day class & get my license.  HOWEVER, if I decide that the class was enough for me, then that will be the end of it.  So to my loved ones, I know y'all are looking out for me, but it's just something I have to do. 

I'm looking forward to going to Ocracoke Easter weekend.  I'm driving down Saturday & will drive back on Sunday.  I am hoping it won't take more than 4 hours to drive down.  But I haven't driven there before by myself so we'll see.  I keep forgetting to make my hotel reservation at the Little Pony motel (that's not the real name of it, but I can never remember the real name-it's my CRS disease).  My brother's band - Island Time - is playing Saturday & Sunday nights, but I can only see them on Saturday.  I was going to take Monday off, but the vacation calendar at work is full, so short road trip.

Let me preface this little tidbit with the fact that this section of Ms. Wannabe's blog does NOT in any way shape or form, relate to my closest friendships with my dear cousin, sisters or daughters.  (Yes, I know that daughters is plural & it is not a typo)  This is strictly about non-related people.  So, with that in mind, I don't actually have a lot of friends, not real true blue friends.  Not the kind I see all the time & hang out with to go shopping or watch movies with or go to lunch/dinner with.  Not the kind you talk to about guys in or not in your life.  For me it's usually the lack thereof, or say things that make you both crack up even if it really isn't that funny, but you laugh together because you just get silly.  It bothered me for a long, long time especially since I know so many people here.  But when it comes right down to it, there isn't anyone I connect to & can just hang with.  Then tonight I had dinner with my friend from work.  I realized she is my friend.  YAY!  I have a friend!!  She is having back surgery next week & I felt scared for her, nervous & worried.  She's had a liver transplant & I am very concerned about any kind of surgery for her. But she really needs this done because she's been in a lot of pain & the back surgery will relieve it.  So it has to be done.  I'm sure all will be well, but I realized that we have been friends since we worked together downtown.  And we do hang out when we plan it since she lives an hour away. Well, not to get all gooey, but when I realized how we make a point to have dinner once a month (we don't work together any more) & when I got all worried about her surgery & we still managed to laugh at dinner & get silly, that's when I realized we are "buds".  So here's to my friend.  Please say a little prayer for her surgery on the 5th. 

So I went to see Picasso Saturday, right?  I had the best time but I also realized (apparently I should have titled this realizations) the friend I went with was a big part of why I had such a good time.  We laughed at silly things, mostly the New York sarcasm kind of humor that everyone does not get & he let me take as much time as I needed which was very generous. It was very comfortable & fun.  I think since this is really a new friendship, even though we've known each a long time, it will grow.  I like being friends with him.

So this & that is done for today.  I think these thoughts are examples of how I will get to be the person I wanna be.
