My Week – In Pictures

Posted on November 13, 2009 by auburnchick

Yarn...that turned into...

Parts...that turned into...

 

A work of love.

 

Two days off from school this week gave me time to paint the toes...

 

...and to file coupons...

Several batches of cookies were baked in the AuburnChick home this week. Rooster scored two before I could pull out the camera. You've gotta be quick in this house.

 

Aubie loves the new bedding I gave the dogs.

 

Pele prefers the couch...

 

 

 

 

 

Molly saw some couch action as well...

 

...especially while "nuggling" with Chicky.

 

Another sample arrived in the mail this week...

 

Yarn shopping...

 

...for gifties...

 

...on the way to the soccer game...

 

...where we won 3-1!!

 

This is my attempt at being organized for next week's classes. Do I have "teacher handwriting" yet?

It Was Only a Dream

Posted on November 13, 2009 by auburnchick

Chicky and I stood in her dorm.

We were laughing, enjoying our conversation and one another’s company.

I don’t remember what was said…only that we had finally reached a point in our relationship where we truly respected and loved each other.

Then, it was time for me to go.

I felt a great wave of sadness wash over me.  I started crying and thought about how I had not cried when I dropped her off at college a few weeks before.  Somehow, leaving her this time felt different…more permanent.

My sobs poured from deep within me.

With a start, I woke up only to find my face wet with the tears I had just shed while I had slumbered.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that it was only a dream.

And yet, the entire day, I felt as if I was carrying a weight of somberness because I know that this dream will become reality in a few short months.
