> AKC--when was the last time you shrieked joyously (or do you even do that girly stuff)? fell asleep wonderfully soundly?
>This at least made me laugh (which I haven't been doing much of the past two weeks). I may be butch (which I very much am) -- but I can still giggle!
And right now, I am trying to grow my hair out -- it is down to my top of my shoulders, sort of (not all of it yet, but in the back). I can almost pull it back in a pony-tail. The last time I could do that was when I was 13! But one of the partners this morning was commenting on my hair. I had to explain to him that as it gets longer, it will do what it wants because I never learned how to do that girly stuff to it. So I really smiled when I saw the word "girly" since I had just used it this morning myself.
So when was the last time I shrieked joyously? Hmmm.... You know, I am one of these who gets blinded by my depressions. I tend to forget the good stuff. I know I had a blast when my brother and his family where up for the weekend after the fourth of July. And I tend to laugh a lot when I am with them. I was in a really good space at that time. So it is likely that I had a good, deep belly laugh that weekend. I don't remember, but I would suspect that I did. You would just have to be around my nephew Jack for an hour or so -- he can make you laugh in no time -- he is 13 and can irritate you, but he is a good kid. As are his brother and sister.
See, with your help, I am getting some of my memories back! I have had lots of wonderful times the past few years with my brother and his family. My sister-in-law and I talk often. She is very special and she has done a wonderful job raising my niece and my nephews.
Thanks for helping me think of them today.
