Every Saturday afternoon, I curl up with a cup of decaf in my hands and turn you on. You pour your stories sweetened with a spoonful of song to warm my heart and nourish my soul.

I met a new boy! At Starbucks. He's a client ( Read more... )

Or, you can cancel dinner because you have to "work late".

I never see you unless it's on your terms. You have to invite me. If I invite you, you reject my invitation.

My frustration. My wasted energy.

I'm right back to where I was before the whirlwind. We're going to be making a dish tonight and I'm not going to kiss him good night.

I didn't really have a whole lot of time to let it seep in because immediately after she told me, I took my sisters out to Ikea while my mom moved her stuff out of my dad's.
