great friends

and great shoes...
unique and comforting all at the same time.
I went to Cheyenne and Laramie this past weekend to see friends! It was great! I've missed alot, but love seeing everyone there!
I talked to a friend tonight that we haven't talked in months - always so fun to catch up.
I tried on a pair of shoes that I'm supposed to be exchanging, but they are realy cute and I'd like to just wear them. can I hold out?

happy new year!

2009 was full and wild!
2010 is already starting out great!

hurt feelings

what do you do with them? especially when the person/people have no idea that they hurt your feelings?

Mostly it just stinks to be forgotten... especially on the big things.

crappy apologies sure don't help hurt feelings either...

I just found out something I rec'd almost 2 years ago was actually a loan not a gift... I wonder if they thought I was stealing it, all along I thought it was a birthday present... this is not what hurt my feelings just a surprise I got today.
