Letters to myself

Dear outside world,

I've been so self absorbed and busy, that I've neglected you. I'm sorry. Please don't take it personally.

Since we last spoke, I celebrated a birthday.... 27!!!! me!!!! I'm excited. Twenty six kicked some serious ass... at 27 I feel like I'm unstoppable. Why yes, the world is my oyster... and I do love pearls!

Today, I infused a tad of 'oh-so-fabulous' to my day.
Try dark roast coffee with a shot of espresso. It's rich, velvety, smooth and DIVINE. Yum yum yum.

I also went to my favourite shoe store. The shoe salesman there said, I haven't seen you in a long time! How have you been? It was just like going home.

I worked. A whole 13 hours. Not so fabulous. So I dressed for success, and in my new favourite shoes, and my new favourite dress, with (you guessed it,) my new favourite belt, I felt fabulous. Stressed, but well dressed.

And finally, last but not least... the jewelry show is fast approaching. Sunday. The big day! If you're free... drop by! Send me an email if you need my address.
See you there

The infamous, and occasionally disapearing, Tracy Lowe

Missing.... in action

I have been missing. I apologize.

But today, I have found people I have been missing.

I went to a talk this evening. I sat next to my favorite professor. I met and chatted with 2 different people that i hadn't seen in over a year. I got to know them both through various school projects and groups. When I turned around I had a brief chat with someone who works on research grants with my current employer.

As I was leaving, I checked my cell phone. A friend I haven't seen since January had called. I called back and we chatted until I was almost home.

I made a quick detour to McDonalds. And as I nearly approached my house, I ran into the friend of a friend. I haven't seen him since September. We chatted and chatted and chatted.

And as I walked home, I couldn't help but feeling just a little more connected to the people in my neighborhood.
