Time to Give Thanks

To everything, there is a season


It's tiiiiime for an update! As can be expected, I've been spending a lot of my time with Lindbergh. 

Oh! I just had an idea. On my facebook lately a lot of people have been doing this thing where they get a number and name that many random things about themselves. I'm having an introspective night, so welcome to the world that is Laura!
1. I like to do yoga while watching Jeopardy. I call it Yogardy. (I'm doing it now!)
    1.a. I feel that education and intellect is suffering in my country, so I consciously try to learn all     kinds of new things
2. I hate going to any type of doctor, and I always put it off as long as possible. 
3. I try to put up a tough front, but I'm a huge pushover.
4. I don't take compliments well (I make it awkward), but I really love getting recognition for my         hard work
5. I believe reality TV shows are crap. 
6. I thought I was an open book, but I'm starting to consider that I have some real commitment, trust, and separation issues.

Bam! Segue way back to the story! 
So I've been spending a lot of time with Lindbergh...we've hung out with Mama Lindbergh and Brother Lindbergh and it's been fun. This past weekend I woke up early and asked him if he wanted to go for a hike. He told me he had the perfect spot and just said to meet at his place. He took us to a beachy area, and I wasn't thrilled. Windier, colder, and sandier than a regular hike...uh, no thanks. (7. I'm always worrying about something. Even if it's something I've made up in my silly little mind.)  He kept asking me to trust him, and I just kept walking and trying to stop being bitchy. (I'm ashamed to say it was kind of difficult.) I don't want to get to descriptive, but it was definitely worth it when we reached our destination. Absolutely beautiful and amazing, and way more than I deserve. I'm not entirely sure why he wants so badly to keep me around. 

I had a girls night with Ginny, Luna, and another girl last weekend. Ginny is the wife of one of Soldier's best friends, and Luna is Soldier's cousin. I wrestled with it for a while; I really wasn't sure it was a good idea. Turns out it wasn't. I have a hard enough time on my own...I can't handle it when I have to hear about Soldier and his family and friends and act like it doesn't tear me apart. As much as it sucks, I don't think I can do girls nights anymore. He's seriously messed up my mind and life. (Yeah, I know that sounds pathetic. Can't help it.) (8. I put on the high maintenance, princess air, and I put on the cold, independent front. More than anything, I just want love...to simultaneously take care of someone and have them take care of me.) 

Einstein sent me a text a week or two ago. Back story: Einstein was the Valedictorian of my high school. He went to a top school, has been recruited by top companies, and now works for a Fortune 500. Ridiculously smart, very nice, and has always had a bit of a thing for me. We skyped the other day and have decided we should get together when he's in town for Thanksgiving. (9. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's all about food and family, without the distraction of material items.) Overactive mind thinks it's pointless and stupid, but oh well. 

Now, it's very, veryvery much bedtime. (10.  I have narcolepsy, but I don't sleep well. That means I can't stay awake when I should be able to, but I'm really tired when I am awake. It's pretty much the WORST.) Hmm. Maybe the fun facts will be an ongoing thing. We'll see. Anyway, goooood night!
