my own town
So, I am driving to work this morning and I pass Fairy as she is turning into the driveway where she works and I honked to say hello. It occurred to me about a quarter mile down the road that I know a lot of people (and what they drive, lol). I like that. I like knowing people around town and being able to say hello. Then, as I tend to do, I let my imagination run away with itself for a few minutes and thought about how absolutely cool it would be for me to have my own town. Kind of like a cross between Stepford Wives and The Village but without the scary (fake) monster and the robotic type brainwashing stuff... but we could keep Joaquin Phoenix. :)
I just think it would be cool to take all the people I like and start a town. I don't want to be in charge or anything, this isn't some weird Pinky and The Brain attempt to control the world. Think about it - you and all your closest friends in your own functioning town. You could have weddings like that one in
The Village where everyone actually gives a shit and comes and has a blast and no one is left out.
I don't feel all that camaraderie where I live. It is like my being a single mom makes me an outcast the majority of the time. I don't fit in with the Married Mom Club. Even the married moms I like don't have much in common with me and we have a hard time trying to find something to talk about.

Wouldn't it be cool if your friends lived on the same road as you? You could see your kids playing with their kids out your kitchen window and go next door for coffee??
Maybe I just need some coffee :)
Have a good day readers.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
