The Gift

Christa gave me a gift today, one of the most sentimental and meaningful (and not to mention beautiful) ones I've ever received.

She told me a story about when she divorced her first husband, and how afterwards she felt lost, so she bought herself this necklace. It says "Please Return to Tiffany & Co." with its own serial number. She figured if she ever turned crazy and someone found her in the street, she'd hope that they would return her to Tiffany's. When her life turned around she stopped wearing it, and felt like she no longer needed it. She understands that I am going through a huge phase of feeling lost, (especially taking a huge leap with my future) this weekend, so she gave it to me, her 18-year-old-self. I admire her so much, and I hope that when I have grown older that I will encompass a lot of the qualities she possesses, truly an incredible friend and person. I'm going to miss her and the girls terribly.
I baked a vegan banana/raisin/pecan bread thing, it's delicious.


Today I got a quarter back in change from buying an Arizona lemon tea, and it was a New Mexico quarter, I think it's a sign that I'm headed on the right track.

And by the way, I'm moving to Portland for a few months on Saturday, and after that it's on to Albuquerque.
