I spent my morning finishing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a book that has taken me almost a full week to read. I was expecting that it would take me one day. As I write this post I am watching the movie. I've been on a Harry Potter as of late.

I spent a couple of hours talking to old and new friends, making plans to have visits. One of the things that I am taking for granted less these days is the great gift that is friendship. One of my oldest friends is suddenly going through a divorce- wow, what happened? What can I do to be there for her? Maybe just be there. I haven't seen her in a year- but I will see her tomorrow. 

One friend is a rather new friend, but a dear friend nonetheless. We have Tractor Supply memories together and we've made plans for a dinner catch up next week. Although she brought up some interesting feelings while we talked. She knows Jim pretty well- Jim, being the last guy I almost dated. So as I was talking to her I relived some of the best moments and some of the worst moments with Jim, naturally. This conversation just the day after I got to talk to Kelly about Jim as well. I care for him deeply still, but he is the one who broke things off, saying that he didn't want to ruin our friendship. That's all fine and good but I am tired of being the one who makes the effort in the friendship and so I haven't talked to him this new year. Maybe if our friendship is actually important, he will talk to me. 

I got a Christmas care package ready for a friend from college, Kelsey. She sent me a few packages the past few months and now I am having fun putting one together for her.
I then talked with my college roomie about hanging out with her one day while I'm home. We have plans to maybe hit the bookstore of our alma mater since she lives in the same city as our school. I need some new Transy garb!

I spent my evening buying music to help get me through my long drives back and forth to Illinois in 2015- because sooner or later dad will be annoyed with me for always listening to Pandora on my long drives and using up all the cellular data! Also, Lee Brice is the man!
