CRYBABY!


so i know i've talked before about turning into my mom and being more tearful than normal (see here). those of you that know me, also know that i am the most ridiculously nostalgic person on the planet. i LOVE reminiscing, watching old home movies (even other people's... i know that's weird), looking at pictures, talking about past adventures with loved ones. i LOVE "reliving" the past in my head.

however, you take me (the nostalgic crybaby) and you tell her to move thousands of miles away from a place she loves with all of her heart and you've got so much more than a crybaby... you've got a blubbering mess.

lately i find myself crying at the slightest thing. a piece of paper i found in a old purse that was from one of my adventures to maine, a drawing that russell made for me when he was 2, cleaning out my car to sell it and hanging from the rear view mirror is a plastic snowflake a friend gave me at my first relief society christmas dinner here. TEARS for each one. LAME!

it doesn't stop there though. how about conversations with friends that i have known ever since i moved here, pictures galore of the many wild and crazy cavortings and all of the many many great memories that somehow fill my mind as i am sitting quietly on the bus... MORE TEARS.

so today was the perfect peek into what i will be like come sept 3. i took the red line to work today and i got on at kendall. from kendall one goes above ground on the longfellow bridge to see only the most amazing view of the charles river and the boston skyline ever! IMMEDIATE TEARS! it was actually kind of embarrassing.

but i can't help it. these reactions are coming from a very deep down place. i feel like i am breaking up with boston and yet i am still in love with it. and it's so hard!

anyhoo- for those of you that are forced to put up with me for the next two months- i'm so sorry in advance but i just don't see me changing!
