So I guess I haven't finished wrapping my head around the fact that the Boston thing happened about an hour from where I live. That I would have been there cheering on Joey from NKOTB (who finished about 5 minutes before the bombs went off) if my son and husband hadn't been home.  I decided it wasn't worth it to go there when he announced that he was running it because he never said he'd meet with any fans or anything, which I understand; this was deeply personal for him and I feel badly for him and all the other runners and spectators who have had their experience clouded by the events.

Not to mention, when I called my mother who hadn't heard what was going on yet, she told me she had been in that very area the day before.
I mean, you always hear "it doesn't happen here" but that is getting harder and harder to say.  It can happen anywhere and the sooner people stop telling themselves it won't happen here, then we can get down to business.

Then a friend of mine started poking fun at the ladies who did go to the marathon to cheer on Joey, saying that they must be obsessed and they know nothing about privacy and personal space.  Well no, I think they were just going to be supportive.  If he didn't want fans coming to cheer him on, he wouldn't have said anything, but he's been going on about it for a couple months so of course some girls who could make it there, did.  And none of them got hurt that I heard about, thank goodness.  And I used to think this friend of mine was really sweet but the more she talks about "no drama" the more she seems to create drama herself.  I know she's going through some hard times but I really sometimes want to tell her to take a look in the mirror.  You can be struggling with personal issues and still not be catty about things.

I made some amazing banana walnut cake with maple frosting the other day.  I'm not a big fan of sweets but my husband saw something about it one day and asked me to make it.  It. is. amazing.  Oh wait, I already said that.
