Abracadabra It’s Magic!
May22
ABN is officially off and running (or flying) and i have officially been left behind to think/dream/over analyze/hyperventilate and wait for his phone call. i’m sure it will be great – good people (hopefully professionally and personally), beautiful city, yummy sourdough bread and maybe even a coffee bean…sounds pretty good to me. still, the not knowing is so hard, even at this early stage, its difficult to imagine what will happen when he’s actually trying to figure out all this job stuff for reals.
last night, after work, i did my volunteer thing (once a month, hang out with a 27 year old guy with disabilities at a pre-planned event – pretty 
easy)…yes i do more than watch tv. we headed to brookline for a magic show. it was our second magic show in 4 months (remember, we only meet once a month so…yeah, its a lot of magic) and while the first magician was heavy on the animals (there was a full size pig WITH painted pink toenails at the chanukah party at the jcc) this magician was heavy on the old school “tricks.” this morning, on the way to the airport at 5:45am, i was telling ABN that i felt like it wasn’t REALLY magic. when he couldn’t stop laughing at me (seriously, hysterically, and he wasn’t even fully awake yet to hear what i was saying, imagine what he would have thought if he had been coherent) i stopped to think about what i had said. deep down, on the inside, do i believe that magic really exists?

woa, that’s way to existential for this here blog.
but i do think of magic as something that tricks or fools or captivates me. that leaves me scratching my head wondering…how’d they do that? last night, not so much. i don’t judge the “magician” (although those quotation marks may lead you to think otherwise), i just felt a little too clever for her breed of wizardry.
with ABN out and about (i hear he might even be forced to watch so you think you can dance which is news that i find fabulous) i’m left to my own devices. i see a lot of jon and kate plus 8 in my future. i’m working all day saturday (its outside, there’s live music, it’s supposed to be like 75, other than having to be at the half shell before 8 it seems like it should be pretty great) so the powers that be are (literally) forcing me to take tomorrow off. it’s not that i don’t want the day (obvi i do), its just that it means i have to be totally ready for the event before the end of today…and since i was here for a meeting at 7:30 this morning, i’m running a little slower than the norm. still, a day of errands and appointments will do me some good, especially since my saturday has been eaten alive.
alright, back to the packing (whenever i am heading out to recruitment event, people ask me if i’m going on vacation because of all the luggage i take with me…funny). i wonder what i’m making for dinner…
Thank you
