Things I Miss

I thought about this the other day-a completely random thought, initiated by a Tim Gunn ad on my Facebook Home page. I thought to myself, "I really miss Project Runway!"
And my brain grabbed onto that thought-just as egos do, and it has been nagging at me ever since.

I look at something and think, "I really miss that..." And so I thought I would make a list and put it out there..

I do really miss Project Runway..."Make it work!"
I also miss warm, tropical breezes....Charleston, SC., Pinehurst, NC, Bermuda, Siesta Keys, FL..it is gray and gloomy here in New England- June gloom has nothing on us..it's Jan-Jun Gloom...with a smattering of sunshiny days thrown in.

Martha's Vineyard-and the Black Dog...Edgartown...The News

Hangin with my friends....more often..seems to be fewer opportunities for us to get together in one place. My former teacher friends and I made a standing dinner date once a month so we would stay in touch. That is a great idea. I try not to miss that unless I absolutely have to.

Working out with a friend-it's a lot easier to go to the gym when you're meeting someone there...

The US Open- coming up again. I can't believe I was at Torrey Pines last year- seems like forever ago...

Taking classes-going to school-weird, huh? I love teaching, but being a student makes me think harder..now I need to gear myself up to learn something new, and there's no one really to bounce ideas off of of challenge my ideas....time to look into something more perhaps?

The old Facebook- I can barely remember what it was like! But I do know I have some friends that have stopped using it..it's too random now, and I usually like random things. It doesn't feel connected anymore. Everyone's talking but nobody's listening..

Being able to eat anything that's bad for me-whenever I want- now if I eat something totally unhealthy I think twice about it and have to eat make-up food the next day.

Skiing-in the winter-I think, I would love to go skiing, but it's so much work, and who would go with me? It's kind of like golf- I don' t have enough skiing/golfing friends who can randomly take a day off and hit the slopes or the course..

Road trips- I really love road trips...

Things I Miss. After reflecting, I am glad to say I don't have material things on the list, which is interesting to me. Some things I will never get back, and others will be replaced by a whole new set of experiences. And still others make me think if I miss it so much, why not just, "Make it work!"

Tim Gunn, I really miss you...
