Goodbyes to Many Things

When moving such a long distance, it is not just friends you have to say goodbye to, it is places, foods, acquaintances, favorite things. Tonight we went to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Create. Not only did we get sad farewells from the staff who know us by name, but we had to say a sad farewell to the great food we like to enjoy there. To some it is only burgers, but to us it is a fresh choice to fill our tummys. This is not the only place, there are so many others. Favorite servers who treat us like family when we come in and other staff that know us if only by face but greet us with warm welcomes every time we arrive. I am going to miss Create, Buca di Bepo, our local Fresh and Easy, Zia Records, Trader Joes (and the cuties that work there), our local bar Flex and Walter's favorite, The Griffen. I will miss the people who make our frequenting these places so enjoyable and the friends we have made there. I do look forward to new places to enjoy and experience and the new people we will meet, as we always do.

Tears and an Itunes Playlist

So what the hell. I decided tonight to put my "Leaving Las Vegas" playlist together. Boy, am I glad I was doing it alone.

How does one sum up 11 years of their life in song? I must be doing a good job since I am still in tears from all the emotion and feelings and memories that are coming out. Songs that you would not expect to be emotional seem to be hitting me right in the tear duct! It is funny how songs, even written with different meaning and intention can mean something totally different to me right now at this point in my life.

I may talk how I hate Las Vegas, but I don't. I just hate how it changed. I love the experience and life that I have had here. I'd share the list here, but it is so much to type (43 songs) and I don't want to do that. If you are interested in my list, let me know and I will work at getting it to you.
