Float On


Ok - I just have to finally put this Blog down - it's kind of been in my head for awhile - composing itself.

This is a letter to my Schmoopie - and if you're not her - you can stop reading. :)

Melanie -

You probably don't have this issue - but sometimes - I'm in my car - and Float On comes on - or anything by The Pixies. And it all comes back to me - like you're in the car. It's 30 below zero. It's 10pm - we're heading out SOMEWHERE. We're jammin - obnoxiously so. We're jumping snowbanks to get into cars, the bar, your little apartment. What a great winter - and how awesome that I haven't lost it from my mind. I can still "BE" there - whenever I hear one of our songs. How weird it is that I can't come pick you up - that we can't track snow throughout your apartment - that we won't be getting up at 10am to go get coffee from your "Saturday Guy." It won't be tomorrow that I'm rummaging through your closet trying to find SOMETHING to wear - waking up at 6am to Luna knocking sh*t over to wake us up - or watching BRAVO while knitting and eating greasy TAKE OUT.

I miss you. I think of you at LEAST once every day. And sometimes I get more than a moment to sit and think of you - and remember the great winter we had - and am thankful that we became friends - and that we still are friends.

Love you.

Carrie

I miss you too! I had a great vacation this week, but I kept thinking it would have been more fun if Carrie could be here! We'll have lots of fun in December. I'm going to miss the snow and hot coffee this year! I try to explain it to people, but they just don't seem to understand the Minnesota strength we have.
