Soon it will be time to say good-bye

I'm starting to get a little melancholy here. Saturday was the most wonderful going-away party ever, at Meg's. Got to see most everyone, and hang out and chat and laugh and have fun. *sniffle* I'm gonna miss doing that!

Tuesday evening was my going-away dinner after work. We went to Tango in N'ville and had tappas and sangria on the rooftop, and basically just talked and had a good time. Wish we'd have done that more often, because I really like a lot of the people I work with. Worked. I don't work there anymore.

And then yesterday was my last day at work. It was crazy and busy, and there was a bit of a mess I was trying to deal with. It didn't feel like my last day. I forgot some things in my desk, and I didn't have time to take files off my computer with me that I wanted to have record of. Boo. I was rushed, and that wasn't good, but at least I wasn't dwelling on the fact it was my last day. Which I would have done if I'd spent the day cleaning out my desk and finishing up loose ends. I hate leaving things for others to finish, and there was a lot of that, but it couldn't be helped. *sigh*

So, I'm heading to Washington, DC today. Going to see Greg! *bounces* That's exciting. I can't remember the last time I saw him, actually. Then tomorrow is sight-seeing, Saturday/Sunday are Lisa's wedding festivities, and then Monday and Tuesday, I'll tool around DC with my mom. Last alone-time with my momma.

Be home Tuesday night, and then I have the wonderful, gloriously fun (NOT!) job of packing up the rest of my life.

I'm excited and terrified in about equal parts.

back at you.

Did you ever see that movie, Parenthood? I'm sure you did because who didn't see it with Jason Fischer the whiney kid that lost his retainer. Anyway. The grandma likens life to amusement park rides. She talks about her favorite ride and how she never really liked the carosel cuz it just goes up and down in a circle. She always liked the roller coaster because it was thrilling and scary and exciting.

So there is some wisdom in that. For some people, the merry-go-round won't ever do :-)
