Curvy Jones on: Catch up & Remembering
First of all, saying heyyyy to all four people who read me. What’s up ya’ll?! I had a fantastical time in Tampa, really. Love love love my girls!
Came back and dove back into life again, pretty much. In and out, day to day, writing and living and all of that. I attended my first Braves game, and it was GREAT!
Would have been better if the Braves actually WON, but the game was fun. Turner Field is an incredible venue. I took some snappies, which you can view here if you like!
In sadder news, another birthday has passed, where my brother Joe isn’t here. He died at the very young age of 22 in March of 2008. We really, really miss him, but we see him everyday in the face of his son. The other day I was flipping through facebook pictures and found a pic that a good friend took of this tree. We call it Joe’s Tree, because.. well that’s where he died. Oddly, it’s at one of the most beautiful vistas in Spokane, overlooking the city.
So, since his birthday just passed on the 8th, this week has been a little melancholy. But like I told my mom, that which does not kill us, and things like that.
Life rolls on, here in the A! Fall is approaching and I am fighting the usual S.A.D. blues. Hasn’t been too bad, so far. Then again, I never really think its’ all that bad, in retrospect. My friends, on the other hand, my disagree. I do tend to hide in the winter, so I’m hoping I will find some activities to help keep me active and leave the house at least once a week.
I’m contemplating buying a new car. I don’t know. It’s an expensive decision and I’m kind of not really ready to buy, as in I don’t have a downpayment. I drive a 2001 Kia at the moment, which is running pretty ragged. I really don’t want to toss a lot of money into it right now, but… it’s the wise thing to do. I just always think, what if I buy/do this and I lose my job? Then what? Am I in danger of that? No. But. *shrug* No one ever really knows. I hate to see people buying boats and homes and then getting laid off. I’d just… off myself. Seriously!
Those are the days of my life! I’m waiting for the VMA’s to start, so I can see the Janet Jackson tribute to her brother. I’m going to need Kleenex…

It’s interesting that his tree is the only one with no leaves.

Isn’t it? I think it was because of the fire. Maybe. I don’t know but…. weird.
Those photos are gorgeous. That’s all I got.
