Friends, Puppies and porn.

Past couple of days have been going alright.  I've stayed busy and working.  Yesterday Mark went and picked up a really good friend of ours and my friend Ashley came over.  We sat around, played with the kids, listened to music, watched movies, talked and reminisced times of old.  We talked of the future and all hope for summer so we could possibly take a few trips camping and to amusement parks.  It was a good time and I miss doing stuff like this more often with friends.  I miss my best friends.  All live away with the exception of one and our schedules keep us from really getting to spend time together.  I talk to Mary and Juleah at least a couple times a week normally, but sitting on their porches, smoking cigarettes and playing with our kids..there is nothing like it.  Both are so different yet so alike.  Juleah's sweetness, hospitality and goofy self is great.  She has this way of just making anyone feel welcome, at home and like she has known them for years...even if she hasn't.  She loves her family more than anything and would do anything for them or for ones close to her. 
Mary.  How do I explain Mary.  I have never met another woman like her.  I admire her strength, wisdom and her wit is astounding.  Her general caring for everything around her and for everyone and hopes for a better world is something everyone should take the time to listen to.  Drinking coffee and laughing at the most ridiculous while also discussing subjects of substance never fail to entertain me. Our children play wonderfully together and Breanna says that Violet is her best friend too. She knows everything about me and always takes the time to listen as well as giving good advice and blunt truths.  She works hard and takes on a lot of responsibility for her school and family.
I love them both to bits and couldn't ask for better ladies around to call them friends.  Both I can depend on and I hope they feel they can with me.  If I am having a horrible day and call one or the other both never cease to cheer me up and enlighten me.  I need to visit them soon.
I miss E.  Whenever something funny happens at work or if I see a car that looked similar to his, I find myself forgetting he is gone and get excited...then sad after remembering its not him.  I am one to laugh easily anyway...but no one could make me laugh all day long like he could.  Even though he didn't talk about himself much, he always took time to listen to me and give advice or blunt truths of a situation.  I miss talking about music and movies.  I miss just being goofy and feeling...free around him.  I felt like I could be my strange self around him and that isn't something I feel I can be around with very many people.   He made me want to be better, look better ( I wore more dresses and makeup these past 2 years than I have in my entire life ) and feel better about life. Most of all.  I just miss him and all that came with him.  I love him and hope all is going well in Florida.
Tonight I am hoping attending a comedy show for the first time since he moved if I can find a sitter for my kids.  I look forward to it but also know it is going to be awkward with him not there.  Speaking of which...here is one of E's sets before he moved.  It was called "Puppies and Porn"  I was at this set and he did wonderfully.  This wasn't long after he first started doing stand up and some of these jokes never fail to still crack me up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I guess that is all for today.   Tha tha tha tha that's all folks.
