Colorado... Rhode Island...  I was pretty close there, eh?!    Not sure where I got that idea from.  Well, 2 months ain't too bad in the grand scheme of things really Carrie.  Just hang in there and try to keep yourself real busy in the interim - that's the best way to keep your mind off of it!

But I know it's especially hard parting ways when you just got together with someone for a number of days and regained that oh so comfortable and happy feeling to be in each other's company again.

It's tough for me just to spend a weekend with some of my old college buddies sometimes (and my wife's the same way with her friends) - the guys I used to spend every single day with for years back in school, but now just get to see for a couple days every year or two.  Getting together again with them is so great, and it so feels like old times - like we were never even apart.  But then when it comes to an end, you feel like you just smashed your thrilling car ride into a wall at full speed, and then you're left with a totally sad and lonely feeling for a while - and the good times are immediately gone, left only with memories again...  

I better stop now before I start crying like this graemlin!  My point is, it's always hard those first several days after you've gotten together with a loved one or very good friend.  Hang in there - it'll get better.  And keep yourself busy!

And drink this smooth shot of Southern Comfort with me to ease the pain!  

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. Matt, it may actually be several months before I move to RI (looks like 3-5 months right now). I'm in love, I can't help but think about him. So, I have to just deal with it knowing that the end result will be very worth it. I will continue to cry when I need to, and yes, drink occasionally.  

Drinkail!!

One of the first things that I'm going to do after I move on Saturday is make my way to the store and buy some liquor to consume. Wooooo!! Any suggestions, gentlemen?

Oh, and would anyone like to help me move?

Anyone?

Come on, I don't have that much furniture.

Well here it is. Friday night. It has been a good week so I'm buying. What's on tap. Any suggestions?

Carrie, I would love to help you move but my old & frail back would not allow it. That & my tennis elbow.  

Hope it all works out for ya.  

Well, I'm all moved in and now I'm surrounded by unpacked boxes.... eek. I've unpacked some, but it seems like a dent hasn't even been made. Everything went pretty smoothly, except with my computer.  I almost didn't have internet when there was a problem with Windows, and THEN a problem getting onling with the new cable modem. Anyway, I'm here, and I'm okay.  

I've had a couple of Tyskie beers tonight (I live in a neighborhood very heavily populated with Polish people, so there's a  lot of good Polish beer to be had around here).

Cheers from the Northwest side of Chicago, everyone!

Congrats on the move Carrie.  Polish beer, eh?  Cannot say I recall ever having one.  Must try to locate some.  

Having a Canada Dry right now

Thanks, Morgbug.  

OCB, I had a Sam Adams Spring Ale last night, it was very good. Not sure if I've ever tried the Summer Ale, but I'll definitely drink the Spring Ale again. You should check it out if you already haven't.
