Have you forgotten what I look like?
It feels like I've been gone much longer than I have. I only left on Sunday morning, but here we are on Wednesday and I find myself saving all my voicemail messages, no matter how insignificant the content, because I miss your voices.
Just said goodbye to Uncle Jim and sent him on his way to work. I retrieved Harriet from his office drawer (where he put her last night after I left her next to his bottle of water in the fridge, which I knew he'd go get right before heading up to bed).
Last night I played my show at The Pier. The place is amazing. You walk out on a long pier to get to the building and then the pier extends past it on the other side. I literally played a show out in the water. It was gorgeous. My Uncle came with my two cousins and a few of their friends. Other's trickled in and out. It's tough to play in another city where no one knows you or gets your jokes. All in all I think they liked it. A bartender, Courtney, bought one of my CD's. So did the daughter of one of my Grandma's friend's. An old middle-school friend, who is living here with her husband, came out to the show. She's very pregnant. 10 days overdue. My singing did not induce labor.
I'm leaving here in about an hour and a half to mosey on down to the OBX (Outer Banks). Once there, I can really start to settle in. I'll be staying with my grandma for about two weeks. The original plan was to leave OBX and head for a friend's house in Pinehurst-- but now I'm thinking I might attempt to make that a day trip of sorts in the middle of my NC stay, and instead head back up here for a weekend in a couple weeks to spend more time with UJ and the clan. We're playing it by ear-- which is something I've never been good at. I keep getting a little frustrated that I don't know where I'm going to be on certain days towards the end of my trip, but then I remind myself that this is a vacation and I'll be fine.
Things I have learned so far:
Walking in sand makes me tired.
Ladybugs are fine as long as they don't land on me.
I still have nightmares, even when I'm not in Milwaukee.
I love books on tape!
Off to shower, pack & hopefully shove off by noon. Not sure what my internet access will be in OBX, so I'll be in touch when I can.
Love,
Lisa
