Eight Days...

...until the wedding.

WHAT I'M DOING
-Sitting on the couch on the internet.
-Coming up with amusing facebook status updates to make someone laugh and leave me a good comment.
-Not watching the Broncos game. I hate watching football....

WHAT I'M THINKING
-Ya, this is weird.
-Ya, I should so have so much more than this accomplished.
-Ya, I'm so gonna have a nervous break down.

QUOTE FOR TODAY
Reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". I like it probably because I think I so get Clare....

"It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays. I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way.

I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by absence?

Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where I cannot follow?"
