This is an AMAZING piece Jamie, chock full of glimpses into who you are! I love the way you put it together, almost like a poem! Can we just send back a check-off list of all the ones we'd like to hear more about?? :-) Did you write this all at one sitting, or were the thoughts collected over time? It is SO COOL! And I just had to smile at you worrying about bug's mamas - yup, that's our Jamie! :-)

Have you ever noticed how similar many of us in our little blogging circle are in many ways? No one could have put a better "therapy group" together by intent! LOL It makes me wonder if blogging attracts a certain kind of person, or if it is just the way we blog that attracted us to each other, or - as I believe- if it was by divine intervention. I think we were supposed to meet up here! :-)

An hey, I definitely think we should drag CC to our "Bermuda Triangle" meet up - I want to meet her!! :-)

I love making lists. Last night I thought about going back and connecting them all with a common list tag and I think now I will.

I relate to so much of your list, especially the smoking but wanting to quit part. Also, I love hurricanes. Living in Virigina we went through several and I loved them.

Amanda said...

Love this list! And I hate the winter too.

Pen said...

Yes. Yes. and Yes.

I can completely identify with a whole lot of what goes on in your mind ;o)

Jamie said...

Thanks to all of you that took the time to read this boring list...and yes girls, I think CCC would be a good addition. I have had a particularly rough day, I will check in with you all tomorrow. I hope each of you have had a great Sunday.

Jamie, I would love to have your email if you're sharing. Mine is josie2shoes@gmail.com I'm sorry you had such a shitty day, and I sure do understand the need to just shut down and regroup for the night. Praying for a better day tomorrow for you!
