the girls...Celia, Stephanie, Audry, Me, Jackie
Me and Heather
Brooklyn and us girls
Countdown: 13 days till I head south for the remainder of winter and then some....me, some clothes, books, assorted music, my tv and of course my boyfriend tivo all packed in my global warming causing, gas chugging, but reliable SUV. This sounded like a better idea oh about 4 months ago. So this week has been me avoiding the innumerable questions of my excitement, preparedness, and details.....I'll give u it in a few words......SAD, unpacked, and blissfully unaware. Basically, I'm just going to throw things in the car, fill up my tank, and drive....if I think about it anymore, I might cry. It's all a little scary, but I know it's where God's calling me for right now...I'm just trying to think of it as a very short hiatus.....nothing more than a few days. As for after that...the plan is back to nashville till I leave for life on another continent. Right, i know i'm irrational...part of the charm right? k, just remember all of this when approaching me in the coming days and keep in mind that u should never back a scared animal into a corner :)

Don't forget... I offered to help you pack! And I promise not to even mention that you're leaving for more than a brief, weekend trip.... Love ya!
stop with the packing...there will be NO packing! just throwing a few selected items in the car that are necessary for a wkendish stay!
it's not good for you to be in such a state of denial.
thanks counselor...but the truth is-it's not denial...it's coping and a wonderful mechanism at that. it's what God's calling me to do and I'm following no matter how i feel abt it. see, if i don't think abt it then it will just happen and i will happily go with the flow. if i acknowledge it, then i will stress, be anxious, and get all worried and sad abt it. now which is the healthier option? think my pt is proven.
Listen to Celia! I mean, she has a degree and all...
thanks jessica!
so erin...i think that it might be slightly unhealthy to avoid your feelings associated with the change. avoiding those feelings doesn't really make them go away, contrary to what you might think.
that's all i'm saying...
blah blah blah. i think i did a really good job of that tonight at dinner, huh? u suck! stop being a therapist and switch into friend mode....ps...i hereby ban u and jessica from ganging up on me! degree shmeree. u know i love u celia, don't make me not see u when i come back into town....speaking of feelings, how would that make u feel (sorry for the passive agressiveness :) )
