Clareified

Over the last two days I have spent countless hours scanning and uploading pictures of me, my family and my friends onto facebook…probably because last week I decided that this week I was going to finally get my act together…anyhoo…It was really an eye opening experience. I have pictures from my days in public school, my teenage high school years, the wild crazy college days and ending with my law school/lawyer present. Even more awesome has been the fact that many of the people in those photographs are on facebook and so I’ve been able to reconnect with people who were there at my third birthday party! THIRD!! I’ve been embarrassing my little cousins with photos of them cradled in my arms on Easter and showing off their new dress when they were four. They have been quick to let me know how awesome that has been for them. Ah, but I’m old enough to know, they’ll appreciate it in twenty years. I’ve had quite an amazing journey. I saw all of Europe –did that picture where you try to hold up the leaning tower of Pisa, I’ve met Presidents –did that picture where you stand at a podium underneath the White House sign, I’ve seen Plymouth rock and been on the Ricki Lake show and celebrated the New Millennium on a Jamaican beach. I’ve toasted four weddings, spoiled two children, graduated from a crapload of schools and all the way have just had a dozen of the funniest, craziest, kindest, loyal, beautiful people by my side. I forget sometimes how lucky I am. Karol tells me that even back in college I’d rifle through my yearbooks and albums whilst procrastinating from whatever it was I was really supposed to be doing…perhaps, it was my way of confirming to myself, that if I made it through all of that, I’ll make it through this too. And if I don’t, I know the names and faces of everyone who will be there to point and laugh. I hate all of you. With my whole heart.
