Coming of age Old and Young

I have been planing for the past month for a hiking/camping trip with my daughter. We have been hiking the trails around here on a weekly basis almost. but school is about to start and my schedule never seems to allow for a weekend day off so this will be out summer mommy daughter blow out.

For her is will be the start of many big adventures as she steps off into middle school, but for me it will be a far larger step. I wrote a post/essay on my Out of Print blog about the the ghost of the past comming to visit on our Dismal Swamp hike. This hike will be my first step on a path that I choose just before I turn 41. I am excited and scared to death all at once. I have never left the confines and comforts of my life to venture out and discover self and pleasure as I am now. It's as scary as going into puberty is for my daughter, but some how you know it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Emotions

Emotions are a horrible thing when you loose control of them. Even more so when all you have ever done was control them. Then the question becomes how do you rain them in an do you even want to.... Once a month I can assurre you being a girl sucks ass. Hormones suck

Senior Fox

We went to Senior Fox for dinner the other might and we rolled back to the house. We came in sat down and the waiter was there to get drinks. Then the nachoes came we ordered and in min we had our food. I was completley impressed.

The food was excellent and the service even better. Our drink glasses never went under two to three inches below the top of the glass. And the checked on us often to see if we needed anything. To some the constent checking may be to much but concept of service is never in question here.

Below is our food

True Blood

Ok , just a quick note to admit I am now a offical fanbanger. After several people telling me I look like or remind them in someway of Tara I finally watch episode 1 and in 3 days the whole first season and the current ones. So now every Monday we do our recap at work and speculate on what happens next. Yeah I'm a late bloomer but I catch on quick.
