1. I miss camp, interestingly enough
My camp is really the place "where my heart calls home"... it is the most amazing place in the world, the only place where I can really be myself... I am missing it a lot right now.

3. I was
until I had to go back to Nebraska last week for a 2.5 day quick trip.

It was for a funeral, which sucks, but it was enough to tide me over until Christmas.

6. Terribly.
It can be especially hard on the fall and around the holidays. Worse, I'm unemployed right now.

I miss my family. I'm so awfully alone.

16. We can be alone together.
I'm in Wisconsin, and reprehensor is in Texas. It's starting to get REALLY cold, and I thought he'd be here by now. It's very lonely.

I burst into tears several times today thinking of the holidays, and missing Texas and wondering if I did the right thing moving up here.

18. Oh FSC!
I hope that reprehensor can join you soon. Moving north is the right thing for you, me thinks.

26. Thanks, kw
I miss the Tex-Mex, and the bluebonnets, and the drawls, and so much else I never thought i would.

Plus, my IPOD's busted so I can't even listen to Joe Ely and Asleep at the Wheel to make myself better! I'll adapt. Eventually.

24. I'm sorry to hear that.
What is it about cold that somehow makes it worse?

Will he be there soon? I really hope so.

Thanks for your kindness.

25. .
:hug:

I'm nervous because it's my first Midwest winter. I haven't had to deal with winter in my life-- driving in it, functioning in it day to day, having to walk the dog 3 times a day, etc.

I'm a Texan, so I'm just freaking out a little here, and he's not here to help me. I have MS, so I'm dealing with that too, and all its implications.

He'll be here when our house sells, which as we all know in this market, could be awhile.

:hug:

11. I MUST get to Iowa at least twice a year,
preferably for a week or so each time. Or I'd die of sadness. I'm going after Christmas, and will be there for the caucuses!!

13. I'm sorry, KW
I sometimes miss Vermont so badly that it feels like a physical pain. I love my home and friends here but Vermont is where my roots are and where my heart will always be. I understand how you feel. :hug:

15. I have dreamed about New Mexico almost every night since we left
this past summer. :-(

I didn't grow up there, but for now, anyway, my heart is in Santa Fe. I miss my friends.

I miss taking weekend trips to Colorado, too.

17. Yep, every fucking year.
I miss both my childhood home (Maine) and my adopted home (Boston.)

Here we sit in California, an achingly beautiful place, yet we can't call it home.

21. I no longer know where to call home...
my dad and sister live in Colorado where I've never lived

I've lived in Arkansas now as long as I've lived anywhere...

I live alone, and I don't like Arkansas

My son lives here, which is why I live here I guess...

I miss my family

I feel a little lost actually KW

but I feel for your ache

23. I am at "home" but I long for the ocean lately
All there is to the beach I miss. The view, the smell, the taste... everything.

*sigh*
