The dangers of feeling lonely

I'm not really lonely. It's more a case of a relationship not going the way I wanted it to. Actually, it couldn't be further away from what I wanted at the moment. And I have a LOT of time invested in that relationship, so it's still hard to let go. But there are those moments when it's really got you down, and you almost make a bad decision. Contact someone you know you shouldn't. Reach out to someone that would be very bad for you. All because you feel like you need someone right now. Luckily, I recognized the feeling before I hit Send on the email, but it still isn't a comfortable feeling. Tempting though.

Weekend Outing

So I dragged myself out of the house this weekend. I called a friend, and we took her kids (3 and 1) to the Frist Arts Center. Yeah, I know what you're thinking and no, we're not crazy! The second floor is called ArtQuest, and it is completely set up for kids to do painting, drawing and different things. The little one fell asleep, and the three year old was patient while we looked. But she loved the art center.

Personally I was disappointed in the museum. For starters, when you feature a particular painter (Georgia O'Keefe), you should have more than tree paintings and a photograph. The rest of it was my own personal perception, I guess. This was my first art museum. I expected something more formal, I guess. Something dramatic, maybe even luxurious. Anything other than white walls, glaring bright lights, and stark interiors.

When all is said and done, I would rather go to a botanical garden. :)
