she blogs every day
Today i thought of a friend of mine that i've known for several years but see rarely. I wrote her an email, and then realized i'd forgotten her birthday and wrote her another one. And i was thinking about how i look up to her in a lot of ways...although that doesn't seem to be the right phrasing (maybe because she's shorter than me). It's not that i want to be just like her, but i do find myself wanting to follow her example in various ways. Like she'll be in the habit of doing something a certain way, and i'll find myself wanting to emulate it. I just think it's interesting because our friendship didn't have this aspect from the start -- it was actually a few years into it, even after we moved away from each other, that i noticed i'd suddenly adopted some of her interests and habits. Or maybe interests i already had intensified upon being shared? I've never really reflected on it in great detail before. I guess it's good to know people who inspire you, yes?
There's a plastic grocery bag on the ground in the back; Gramma keeps wondering if it's a white bird.
I think she's going out to pick it up though. I'd better get in the shower! It's almost time to go to work.
