I know I have been a little behind with my comments on all the blogs I visit. Which makes me feel that I am neglecting my blogger friends.
Tonight I was thinking about that...there is a difference between "non-blogger friends" and "blogger friends" but sometimes I wish there wasn't.
Because I know that if I saw a "blogger friend" on the street, I would most definitely scream with joy and give them a huge hug...just as I would do with a "non-blogger friend."
Basically I am a little jealous that Cheryl, Marissa and Mindi all had brunch last Sunday.

still reading
Hi. I am still here.
I am busy and tired from my new job.
I am trying to find that balance of life that we all strive to achieve. Well, I haven't found it yet.
To all my blogger friends out there, know that I am still reading...but not commenting as much.
I am tired now.

the subject said
It still has the crease marks from where I folded it and kept it in my pocket six years ago. I remember reading it aloud to all the girls on my floor and they always wanted to hear it again.
The subject said I love you.
Anne,
Of all the things I have done while I have been here, whether it be hanging out with my friends, acing a test, or walking across campus on a beautiful fall afternoon, nothing has given me the feeling your card gave me today. I was so happy. To think that there is someone as caring, creative, beautiful, smart, and happy as you out there, is in itself amazing. You are truly a gift to this world. Never change.
That being said, I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. So if you want to find out, walk outside at 3:00 pm, close your eyes and tilt your head to the sky, take a deep breath and open your eyes. When all you can see is the wide blue sky and the drops of red and orange in the trees, that is how much.
Missing you in Iowa.
Jake wrote this before he knew I liked him, before we became best friends, before we fell in love, and before I moved to Iowa to finally be together. I know now what I knew then, that he makes me feel like no one else ever has....and that their is no one I would rather be with.

new colors
I had a summer of freedom! My days were my decisions and my time was endless. I squeezed possibility out of every moment.
Fall has arrived in Iowa. The harvest is here! The trees are new colors my eyes have never seen and the air is crisp with anticipation.

wine trap
Last night I made a wine trap. I did this by filling a small dish with white wine, tightly wrapping plastic wrap around the dish and then poking three small holes on the top.
I was going to catch the itty bitty fruit flies in my kitchen!
The smell of the fermenting fruit attracts them. They eventually find their way in through the holes and then are trapped.
They probably die trying to escape or...they drink themselves to death.
When I woke up this morning I had caught two!!! And this afternoon I caught another one! Three total now.

back side
I considered taking them off.
Instead all week I slipped into the back row wishing my car could hide in an open parking spot.
It was as if every car in the parking lot were white and mine was the lime green one...with balloons and arrows pointing to it.
My self consciousness surprised me, I am not usually like this...I even asked Jake, "Do you think I should remove them?"
It was the new job, not knowing anything about these people, and wanting them to like me...that was steering me towards that back corner spot.
The road is anonymous. A work parking lot is not.
Until today when my co-worker and I had to go somewhere in his car...as we walked to his car I was incredibly aware of my back side.
I held my breath. Mine was next to his...
As we drive away he turns to me and says, "Oh, by the way, I love your bumper stickers."
I was ecstatic!
I can't believe I ever considered taking them off.

pecan cluster
I worked at this little DQ in high school, every summer home from college, and even during graduate school.
That is DQ Joe in the doorway, DQ Joe is on his license plate.
We are not a Brazier, we don't have a grill. But we do have BBQ's, and Joe makes them with his secret recipe.
We also make all our own dilly's, buster bars, and DQ sandwiches. We have over 15 dilly flavors, including toasted coconut, black raspberry, orange, lime, chocolate peppermint, bubble gum, banana, and pina colada.
When I was home two weeks ago I stopped in to get a pecan cluster blizzard and I didn't recognize anyone working. I was sad, because for (yikes!) almost eight years I have been a little part of this place...where everyone knows your name.
Check out my fellow DQ alumni and good friend Meghan's blog...she posted some funny DQ stories from this summer. Also, Jake's sister, the amazing Katie just started a blog a few weeks ago, she is a natural blogger!
