First of all, I left my laptop at school...nothing makes you miss a convenience like not having it. (ha, that was profound!) So, a quick post from RJ's computer...instead of a longer post from the warmth of my bed, on my laptop, surrounded by cozy pillows.
Anyway....
Had two "It's been that long?!" moments recently...
First, I was starting to (still meaning to get to that) clean out my closet. I glanced at a sweater and thought something along the lines of, "I still like that sweater...it's fairly new and I haven't worn it much..." Then I realized...I bought that my freshman year of college. 2001. TEN YEARS AGO! I knew because I still remember wearing it to a Rush activity for Chi Omega when I was rushing. I think I'll D.I. said sweater...I mean, ten years!
Second, I had Will sitting on the counter while I gave him some medicine. He reached over and grabbed my iPod from the speakers. It's my old, clunky iPod....but it still works and I still have loads of music and movies on it that I adore. Then it hit me....a boyfriend in college gave it to me...It strikes me as funny that when this boyfriend gave it to me, I had no idea that my child would be playing with it, in my house years later. Weird. I'm old enough to have lost touch with that boyfriend (he was sweet and gave awesome gifts too!), to have a husband, a career, a mortgage, and a child....yet still have my beloved iPod.
Time flies.

Amen to that. It constantly trips me up.
ReplyDeleteOh Katie this is too funny! Just this week I gave a sweater to the DI that I bought freshman year, too. It was one that I got at Old Navy on clearance. It was a light blue color and it was a wrap around thing that had a tie. I believe that you got the same one but in brown. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm sure I did, and I bet I still have it too! After all, it IS fairly new, no?
ReplyDelete10 years really flies by.......
