I am Chloe Sullivan

Another one of my high school buddies got engaged last week. My best friend from high school got married almost three weeks ago. That puts the married count of close high school friends to somewhere close to 6 and currently engaged up to 4. Man - they are just dropping like flies. I laugh doubly now at those who said I would be "the first to go". Now I just have to keep track of who changed their last name, who is hyphenating, and who hasn't changed at all.

It isn't that easy. No. It is never that easy.

I have been home for the past week. It has been lovely except for the case of the sniffles I've had since Tuesday. Every time I come home it seems like something else has changed. The furniture is in a different spot. My dog has gained or lost weight. The cat has a new place that is her typical roost. My sister's hair has changed colors. Or maybe that is my hair. Regardless - it is always so so nice to be home and see so many friends that I have not seen in months, sometimes years. Some connections just never die.

I am blessed. Oh. I am blessed.

I finished watching the 7th season of Smallville with my mother this evening. She is all caught up now and I am doubly frustrated. Not only do I not have the 9th season to delve into - I also don't have the 8th season yet on DVD and won't for a few months. I know my addiction is unreasonable, but I am upset and frustrated!

I am frustrated. Oh! I am frustrated!

I had a photo shoot tonight with a friend who needed to try out her new camera. I'm excited to see the results. Also - my computer is going with me to visit my brother tomorrow. Hopefully he will be able to work some of his magic and my camera and my computer will be on speaking terms again.

I have hope. Oh. I have hope.

It's amazing what a little sunshine and a good pair of shoes can do for a girl's outlook on life.
