Let's Not Waste Time

Today is the coldest I think I have ever experienced. The temps are in the single digits and even colder when the wind picks up. Even now as I look out my living room window it is snowing. Most definately a much different enviornment than I have ever lived in before.

This past weekend was the most difficult so far. Except for some picture hanging the unpacking is complete and the realization that I just packed up and moved across country again smacked me in the face. This time, I know no one. 5:00pm Friday evening I climbed in my car to go home for the weekend and began to cry. I am so lonely.

When times get tough the tough... find a friend, in this case. I met a guy and I have a date with him on Wednesday and Saturday and Sunday for the Super Bowl. What a difference a day makes!

And you thought this was going to be a sad story. I will keep you all posted....

Breakaway

Well, well, well. I'm back. And for those of you who do not already know my story the short and the sweet of it is this...

October 20, 2004 left Charlotte, NC after 22 years of living in the same town. Running from all of my failures I had to start over somewhere.
October 24, 2004 arrive, Las Vegas, NV. Very bumpy start but found my way. In two years I change into a much different and much better person. I saw new places, met new people, learned many new things.
January 2, 2007 left Las Vegas for a new life with the new me.
January 5, 2007, arrive, Chicago, IL. Now residing in Deerfield, IL. With a new corporate job the hard work is rewarded.

With everything I have to write about it is over whelming so I will start with this and leave you with lyrics to a song that means a lot to me.

"I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway"
