the best thanxgiving surprise
remember my friday five? i got one fulfilled just last night! it was the best thanxgiving weekend present. my lana-bear called me last night and it was sooo wonderful to hear from her. since she transferred to usc we see each other only once or twice a year and i really missed her and her friendship. we had a fabulous big/lil sis relationship from alpha phi right from the start and i was really sad to have her leave. it's a wonderful friendship even out of the sorority, cuz even when we don't see each other often at all, we just pick right up where we left off, like we just saw each other yesterday. i love friendships like that.
at first i didn't even recognize her voice (nor her cell phone number) and i had to guess the familiar voice. and she gave me a clue that i wrote about her on my blog. after i guessed it, i asked her how she knew about my blog post. a little birdy told me, she says. well, thank you to the lil birdy she was IMing with. you've always tried to bring me and my friends closer and i truly appreciate it.

in other news, i'm still pretty bummed these days about the m situation. i feel like a piece of my heart is broken. geez, like i broke up with someone. i called her to say happy thanxgiving and to thank her for her friendship, despite the situation these days. i just left a voice mail. but *sigh* oh well. even lana noticed that something was wrong. and we didn't even talk for very long and she picked up on it. i love our friendship. did i say that yet?
i went shopping with gl last week (no, not during the get-trampled-over sales of after-thanxgiving) and i realized something. i need more girlfriends. or dang it, just some other people to go shopping with. i think i missed m even more after that.
anyway, thanx to:
~ the lil birdy who told lana to call
~ lana, for calling
~ caroline, for being there to talk to
~ my family, who cooked or ordered great food
~ jei, giselle, marianne, theresa, glenn for being kick-ass leaders for the kids in HS
~ gl, for shopping with me even though the ratio of stores we visit, mine to his is like 5:1
~ my stronger immune system (both my brother and gl got throwing-up-too-sick-to-eat sick this weekend)

quotable quotes
-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
