Holy My God, I’ve been SO busy.  I’ve been neglecting you.

I’m sorry.

I’m really bad with plants too.  The only reason the dogs are still alive is because they remind me to feed them.  It’s like clockwork. They always know when it’s 8pm. And the crazy part is not one of them wears a watch.

Well maybe Ditto does, under all that fringe.

Either way, I realized when I looked at the calendar today that it is the birthday of two people I cared very much about, a very long time ago. I haven’t talked to either in years, at least 2 for the first and 10 for the second.

The first was the most genuine man I have ever met.  A misunderstood, very sensitive mountain man.  I would probably venture to say he was the person who taught me how to have fun.  I will give him your thanks when I see him…one day.

The second was the first boy I met in college.  I had so much fun with him, for many years.  Our relationship caused all sorts of ripples into other aspects of my life in later years.  But I would say it is safe to say he was my first love. I haven’t spoken to him in about 10 years, and haven’t thought about him in at least half.

It’s their birthdays today.  It’s weird that they have the same birthday, an had such a different effect on my life.  What’s more weird – there are 3 other guys that I dated that have birthdays this week.  Happy Birthday boys, Happy Birthday.

Isn’t it crazy how people come into your life and open up certain parts of you? How they mold parts of your life that affect the future you?  AND isn’t it crazy how after they aren’t in your life they pop into your conscious thoughts with no warning?

Who has popped into your brain recently? What do you remember about them the most?
