A Super Solitude Saturday

After a great night of being owt with my number KJ, a late Saturday morning was warmly welcomed! My dad stopped by and helped me clear my mind and reminded me of how much a girl really does need her daddy! We hung out and had lunch! My dad suggested I visit NC State's arboretum, so I spent about a hour or so with my thoughts surrounded by beauty. My retreat to solitude was well overdue!

When I first walked into the garden, all I could do was smile! Like seriously, walking around smiling for no apparent reason! First, I kinda strolled around stopping now and again pathetically trying to sound out the ridiculously difficult scientific names of mesmerizing trees and plants! Soon it seemed as if everything around me froze besides nature. I noticed the bee's working hard, the birds singing beautiful melodies and squirrels racing and stopping quickly from tree to tree, like cautions soldiers on a mission. Finally, I took a seat and listened for that small still voice to give me the answer to a question I've been wrestling with for a while now....no answer...only more consoling words of wisdom. Dropped my head and finally listened to my thoughts clearly...still no answer, simply more pacifying encouragement....finally I listened to my heart and figured out how to get the answer........smh.... I flipped a coin! "heads I'll do this, tails I'll do that" Oh how simple life can be LOL. Now I wont tell you what decision I had to make so you can't judge me for flipping a coin on that one! lol But I will say I'm happy with my decision and I'm certain I made the right one because on my way out of the garden, I found another coin on tails! ::confirmation::

After some time with soli, I hit up the movies for the highly anticipated "The Hangover". Can we say hi-FREAKIN-la-ri-ous! A must see! Rated R for RAUNCHY! Especially the end! OMG how did that stuff make the cut?!? Phil played by Bradley Cooper is super HOT! I dont even say hot, but that's how HOT he is! My favorite character. The most memorable part of the movie was when Alan a "special guy" got dressed for the night and did his "Who Let The Dogs Out" dance. I was LMBO! I've never been to Vegas but after seeing this flick, I'll be sure to honor the expression "What Happens In Vegas......"

Not quite ready to head home, I stopped for ice cream on the city's most popular hwy, Capital aka number one. One of the best things about North Carolina is the weather, so I sat outside with my Sneakers sundae, India Aries "River Rise" on the ipod ♫chk that out♫ and USA Today's Saturday edition! Sigh...peace of mind... Ohh it feels so guuudddd! A Satisfying Super Saturday with Soli! Hang out with her sometime, she's DOPE!

  2. I'm glad to see that you turned to nature to help sort out your problems. I personally find the most clarity of insight when I am in the woods. To quote John Muir, "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
