....but I don't speak that language. Lately, it seems as if people from my past have been crossing my path much more frequently than they have prior, and they seem to be doing so in greater numbers. Some if it I can equate directly to the fact that my 30 year high school reunion was this past summer, but just this evening, I ran into a friend from graduate school that I had not seen since my son was born over 11 years ago. We ran into each other at Trader Joe's, and she mentioned that she had seen me at my parish several months ago but didn't get a chance to talk to me.
Weird.
Are the planets aligning in strange new formations? Are there pigs flying outside my window? Oh geez.......does this mean the Apocalypse is imminent? If so, does that mean that the ghosts of boyfriends past will come knocking me on the head late at night was I slumber. Criminey......I hope not. Not that they're bad guys; in fact, I'm still friendly with most of them, including my ex-husband. Still, I'm not sure I want to have a reunion with them in the wee hours. Imagine the shock that would give my heart.

On a completely unrelated note, I came across this photo from our vacation to Washington, DC this summer. I took it because it made me chuckle; see, this sign is located on a back road located between Frederick, MD and Dulles International Airport, and is surrounded by..........farmland. The building in question doesn't appear to exist any longer, but they felt the incident in question still needed a marker. It's a take off of the proverbial, "George Washington slept here" gag.
That's all I got. I know, it's rather lame, but it's all I got. The coming weeks are jammed full of band rehearsals, choir auditions, and band competitions, not to mention lots and lots of martial arts classes. Little Man Warrior has been "promoted" to a higher level of training, and now it really gets intense with more classes, more weapons, and practices with the extreme martial arts team. Wish me luck with maintaining my sanity.

I've not bumped into anyone from my past in forever. A little weird, but enjoy it if you like the folks.
Have a terrific day. :)
When I start running into people from my past I decide it's time to go home and stay there until that little phase passes by. ;-)
I still keep in touch with a select group from HS, but I have no interest in going back to the old stomping grounds anymore. It's easier to leave it behind the older I get, and healthier for me too.
As you can imagine, people from my past ...from ALL of my pasts...are front and center...many in person.
Plus I have been leafing through photo albums and sorting through slides...quite the proverbial stroll through memory lane.
I know how hectic active children's schedules can be. You will have no relief until the Lass begins to drive...then she can take on the Warriors taxi-ing....
All I want to know is what did George have to eat that evening?
nothing surprises..and I believe there are no coincidences.
The planets are indeed in alignment. Someone I worked with nine years ago left me a voicemail on Sunday. He moved to the east coast after we were laid off right after 911.
Hmm, now I wonder who I will hear from next.
Enjoy your kids and the busy schedule! I miss it.
I'm certain the planets are doing something bizarre! I also think the world is spinning faster; why else is time going by quicker by the year?
Have fun with the kiddos. There were days when I felt as if I had wheels permanently glued to my butt!
I've had a couple of people find me on FB, but I graduated in OC and everyone seems to have fled for parts unknown...
~~~Blessings~~~
Maybe the past is converging with present to remind you what it's like to go down memory lane. Sound hokey! Maybe it is.
