homecoming
Bart is coming home today...9:08 pm...I'll be there at baggage claim. Why does time go so slowly when you just want it to fly?
I have a picture, a prediction, of what tonight will be like. The only problem is- what to say? What do you say to someone you haven't spoken to in 4 weeks? Everything I think of seems so impersonal, so trite, but do I really want to be deep and emotional with someone who has been on planes for an absurd number of hours? This is my dilemma. Hmm....
Maybe I should let him speak first and set the mood. That won't happen- I know myself too well. I wish I could stand there and smile and have him come to me- because I don't think he will recognize me and I want him to look for me. But, knowing the girl in me, I will scream and run at him and wrap my arms around him- even though he proabably will wonder who this crazy girl is. (For those of you who don't know, since Bart left I have lost 15 lbs, chopped all my hair off, gotten a tan, purchased new glasses and trendy new clothes- becaus eht old ones were falling off.)
It isn't a big deal- it's just something I can't stop thinking about- so I will plague my blog and its readers with it. The reunion will be good- slightly awkward, very happy, and highly public- as many of our friends will be there to see it. (And even more awkward when Bart reads this post on my blog and realizes that I have told the whole world that I'm this crazy. Sorry honey- they already know.)
I'm am in this agony of anticipation- and thus I will spend my day. The excitement is almost more than I can bear- and certainly more than my co-workers can. Come home, babe!
On a completely unrelated note, I have a new digital camera- which means that my blog is about to get that much more fun. Be prepared. :) I think I annoyed my boss with my photography this morning, but I had a ton of fun! Look forward to future posts and hearing all about our reunion at the airport!!!

when you say the name Bart over and over and over ... it starts to sound like a really funny noise .... do it, you know you want to ... Bart Bart Bart. Oh, I crack myself up.
Yeah, what she said!!!
So this comment is random...nothing to do with the post, but whatev. :)
Lindsey do you know how much I love you? You've always been fabulous but in the time I've known you you've become a wonderful woman and even (gasp) a role model for me. I hate that I'm not very involved in your life anymore and sometimes I wish the Terry Foundation hadn't liked you so much but UT seems to be the perfect place for you. Everything seems to be working out great for you. You may have some rough patches in your life right now but they'll get smoothed over by Jesus and his heavenly road crew. ;) I'm going to miss you while you are in Europe, just as I miss you all the time while I am in school. You said in a previous post that you were a new "you" and I wish I had more time to get to know "you" better. Because she seems pretty awesome. Anyways, this is probably the longest comment in the history of blogdom. In a nutshell - I miss you and I'm not the same without you. Please keep in touch. MUAH
Luv
You dang well better know who
