Last weekend was CelestePie's bridal shower. I must admit that before I went, some whatifs crawled inside my ear. For those of you that have not met the whatifs, enjoy....

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime Whatifs strike again!
I always get nervous when I go back to Sonora. I was worried that I would get lost in Sonora (now I know that sounds ridiculous but I always get confused with the bypass), I was worried that it would snow and I wouldn't be able to drive in it, I was worried that I wouldn't remember the way to Celeste's house (how sad is that...I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find my bff's house...)... And all of these are clearly ridiculous and that is why I say that the Whatifs crawled inside my ear.
The weekend turned out very nicely. I would even venture to say that it was a bit of "soul healing" for me. I am very thankful that my Cbeyond phone did not have data service while I was in Sonora, so the 50 odd emails that would have bombarded me, did not reach me til I was on my way home.
Sonora is a lovely place, that I am going to try to visit more often...it couldn't hurt...
