Small City Woman

judecorpI have a lot of home visits today, so the day should go by pretty quickly. Although it's raining, so I hope that won't make the day too sleepy or draggy, or make parking too crappy. After work, we're headed up to Fenway to see a free screening of Nine Innings From Ground Zero which is about the 2001 World Series. I have no expectations either way, so it should just be a good time.
I have no problem /getting/ to AMC Fenway but I always seem to get lost on the way home. In the dark, the Fens are a mystery to me. Every college building looks the same. The road winds. I end up on some ridiculous street nowhere near where I want to be. Must remedy.
This morning I have songs in my head from the Columbus Women's Chorus. I think of Daina and Brandie. I think of silly scarves and hippie women. I miss my girl friends, my coffee shop, my Short North hangouts.
I used to be a Big City Kid, but I think as I get older I'm more of a Small City Woman. I want some of the conveniences and glam of the City but without the isolation and expense. I want the closeness of brick streets and quaint coffee shops in an area I can afford such luxuries. Don't worry, though: I still loathe the suburbs.
