Life in the kayak--"the alone boat"

[theoriginalabby]

I never stopped to ask myself if my life was "solo" until I realized how much it wasn't. I want to take a moment to recognize some amazing women I know who I admire for them always being themselves, and always belonging to themselves, no matter what. Katie Jones and Kelly Brown, though neither one probably reads this because I never post, are two

If you're going to drink chardonnay by yourself, I recommend you get a vacuum sealer (if you don't have one already). I've tried a few different ones, and the ones with grey rubber stoppers and white t-shaped pumps (I think they're Vac-u-vin or something) seem to work pretty well. Pump it, put it in the fridge, and you can have a glass or two with dinner every night without it going sour.

Wow, Abby, thank you. You are a woman I admire so so much, and a compliment means so very much coming from you.

The men were dead weight - we're better off alone. Live it up, single girl! If you ever want to come to Texas, get your adorable ass over to Austin!

i loves me some ABBY ROBERTS!

abby,

thank you first and foremost for the shout-out. this will sound insincere, but know that it's totally not--you are definitely one of the people i most admire at loyola. it's amazing how much you do and how many people you touch with your intelligence, kindness and, of course, hotness. there's a reason everyone has a crush on abby.

that being said, i'm really glad that you're solo and enjoying it. i think being comfortable just being with yourself is important, and it's awesome that you're enjoying it. buuut, if you want someone to chat with, i DO love random late-night phone calls.

i cannot wait to see you in new orleans, my sparkling gem.
