Into the wilderness

13Oct08

Today I feel like: a normal average girl, ready to make peace with the outdoors.

That’s right, I’m gettin ready to go camping this coming weekend.  Like the most extreme camping I’ve ever gone, which isn’t saying much.  I’m really nervous about it.  I’ve never slept in a tent that I had to set up.  I’ve never had to hike to go to the bathroom.  The roasted marshmallows better be worth it. 

Meanwhile, Josh and I finished watching season two of Dexter and last night I was a little anxious and every time I started drifting off to sleep, I would see visions of people being cut into pieces, and I’d wake up again, afraid of having a nightmare involving a serial killer.  I suppose its good that we won’t be able to see the third season until it comes out a year from now.  It seems I can only handle so much Dexter.  The show is pretty awesome though. 

I realized I have an exciting two weeks coming up.  Christine & Seth will be in the city on Friday, and even if I only get to see them for half an hour, it’ll be really great, and they’ll meet Josh.  In fact, I’m starting to consider these two weeks the ultimate immersion weeks for Josh and I. First Christine and Seth, then Saturday I go to Jersey to meet his mom, stepdad, brother, and several close friends.  Then camping with more friends until Tuesday.  Then working wed-fri.  Then Friday, we head to Connecticut to stay with my parents, and to go to a big family party on Saturday and hopefully see Cheryl on Sunday before coming back to New York.  And that will round out almost everyone important in our lives.  Except Kim, and my mom’s huge family, and his dad who’s super far away.  still it’s a lot.  Or at least it feels like a lot.  There are so many things that could be awkward or go wrong.  I really hope they don’t.
