I am thoroughly loving small town life. Going to the polls and
having a co-worker running for town council give you a hug?
That's the kind of thing that makes me happy. Seeing former
students when we're shopping for groceries; seeing friends out
for a walk when we go out to dinner at a favorite restaurant.
A craving for the simple kind of life I'm starting to achieve has
been with me for a long time. Being able to drive a few miles
and find pretty much whatever I need (though not necessarily
whatever I want) is such a nice luxury, and the country townhouse
is plenty of space for two people in the beginning of their life.
We've got our little tribe now, too, people who I know love us,
trust us, and can always be counted on to attend a very nerdy
movie like The Raven, The Avengers... as long as there's food.
Sometimes you have to wear/buy something just because it's fun.
We're on a tight budget right now since school is out for the
summer, but becoming smarter shoppers is really starting to
be rewarding - although we get strange looks from the checkout
boy when we buy in bulk - is he not aware of his store's sales?
Frozen yogurt and campfire s'mores are mandatory for hot weather.
