brownies, boats, and a [potential] broken heart
I’m in Michigan. I arrived on the train this morning for a reunion with three great college friends. Way back in college, the four of us made a pact that when one of us started dating someone, they owed the rest of us a platter of brownies. Since then, two of the four of us have gotten married, and I haven’t seen any brownies yet. A month ago, I sent an email saying that I was drooling thinking about all those brownies . . . and now I’ve had to swallow my pride and say that I’ll be bringing my own batch . . . oh, the irony. Our friend Katie will be having a lovely time with her three platters of brownies, I’m sure. Except that she just informed us that she doesn’t like chocolate and that I’m a traitor. It’s looking like it will be a great weekend!
Tonight I’ll hopefully be taking a sunset sail on a small tall ship with my two best friends in South Haven. I haven’t sailed since before going to Romania and I’m looking forward to the wind and waves and beauty. While I’m here, Kirk is repairing his sailboat in New Hampshire, so I’m looking forward to a lot more sailing soon.
Did I mention that I’m enrolled in Dartmouth? I guess not. Well . . . I’m excited! Funny how that got thrown on the backburner with all the other excitement of the past few weeks! I just realiezed that I’m choosing to study something that hurts my heart a lot. Sometimes a passion can be painful. I’m so glad that hope and good friends are around to support me for when my heart potentially breaks.
Way to make me sound petty Sharon! You know of course that I don’t really think you’re a traitor…it’s just the point of the bet was never to actually win it! Hope your trip back went well!
Sorry, Katie! I had no intention of making you sound petty…that was the furthest thing from my mind! I was just poking fun at myself. I had such a great trip back, and I was so glad to get to spend time with you and Al and Rachel! So…let me know when you’re going to be out here…
