Independence Day August 19, 2004 ~ 4:24 pm
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackbackHaven’t been posting much, because I’m totally lazy. I have this awesome picture of the Joe-cat I want to upload for my story about how he almost broke my toe last Friday, but it’s on my Mac, and I have to reconfigure that for the internet since my service provider has switched numbers on me. I also have plans for scanning in a decent picture of Rick, but that would involve reconfiguring the scanner that I haven’t used since I moved 9 months ago. Yeah, I’m lazy.
But my laziness is not the main focus of this post. Tomorrow (August 20) is the five year anniversary of my move to Brooklyn. I remember this only because August 20 was supposed to be my wedding day. Obviously it wasn’t, because about 9 months before then, I realized I couldn’t marry the guy and ended the relationship. He was sweet enough, but emotionally about 5, and he actually expected that I would follow him to Ft. Hood, Texas and become an Army wife. Can you picture me as an Army wife? Neither could I, thus the broken engagement.
So when the time came to move to New York for grad school that summer, I decided the date should be August 20. What would have been my wedding anniversary has since become the anniversary of my personal independence day. I love irony. Happy Independence Day to Me.
