Sporadic

I've been known to make spur-of-the-moment decisions.

My original move from Wisconsin to South Carolina, back in 2005, was made in just a week. I bought Chelsea (my car) the same day I went to the dealership. I left at one o'clock in the morning and drove all night to be there when my kindred spirit friend, Sara Thompson, had her first child. (James arrived an hour before I did, for the record) I did the same thing when Sarah-Marie had her first child, Jack.

My point is, I fly by the seat of my pants and I honestly love living that way. I know there will come a point in time when I will have responsibilities and roots holding me down, but for now....I'm footloose and fancy-free. [I don't actually know what "fancy-free" means]

So, in the spirit of genuine spontaneity I have decided to head to South Carolina this weekend. And the reasons are three-fold.

1. I haven't been "home" since January. And let's be honest, that's WAY too long.

2. I have Friday off of work, which makes me wanna celebrate one less day in this hell hole that is my job.

3. My friends.

The past couple of weeks have been difficult for a lot of people, myself included.
I need to be around my real friends; the ones who truly know me; my sisters.

It was a sporadic decision, but those friendships....the real deal friendships....are anything BUT sporadic.

And frankly, that's exactly what I need!
