home? homes?

baoooo,
hello all. so, about my life, location, etc.....
i don't exactly have a home. i mean, i suppose i have a lot of homes, if i'm feeling positive about the whole situation. which i am, mostly.
i'm at one of those homes now. it is a small, white two-story house in Maryland sitting on a corner across from a long driveway ending at a much, much bigger white two-story house (if you can really call it a house...it seems more than just a house) that is also a home. and then, across a pond from the big house, there is a medium-sized white two-story house where i grew up that really is only sort of a home now. so obviously, it's complicated. and i haven't even started on virginia, or michigan, or chicago (baooooo!). i don't have one stable home exactly, but there are lots of places that sometimes feel like home where i can sometimes go and sometimes expect to be welcomed by family or something similar. complicated.
i start with this complicated explanation to give fellow squids some sense of where i am now both geographically and in my head. i don't really know what else to say except that i wish you were all here with me, so that you could experience this beautiful, complicated, humid place i often call home. so that you could smell the honeysuckle in the night air, swim in the dark, run through the grass, drink minty things, wear sundresses (well, again, complicated), and play with small rat- like dogs. i'm having a wonderful time. such a wonderful time that i've lost track of time. i thought yesterday was today, and was looking everywhere for leli, who was probably happily enjoying saturday somewhere in wisconsin. now it is actually sunday, which is pretty exciting, because i get to have another day of sleeping in and eating too much for breakfast. wow. what luck.
anyway, hope you all are well. i'll be in touch. sorry not to share anything more interesting in my first blog post. it's been a long time since i've written much. too much lingerie in my life, too little grammar. i need to go back to school. oh well, important to mix it up. and the UofC never could have taught me how to walk in six inch heels....but anyway....back to the honeysuckles,
lots of love,
A.
