today i went down to watch the parade on main street. it's all part of the rodeo this weekend, which i'll be going to this evening ^^
anyway, i took my dog down there. i would have liked to have taken both of them, but she's a handful as it is, so there's no way i would have made it down there with both of them!
i'm thinking i'll take them both over to play at the grassy hill near our apartment in a little bit. that way they have a chance to play together and the one that didn't get to go will get some exercise.

while i was there though, i got kinda sad, because all the girls going by on horses and rodeo talk reminded me of someone. you see, i just found out that an old friend of mine (from HS) is getting divorced. and she's always LOVE rodeos and horses and all that, so every cowboy hat i saw just made me think of her. i feel really bad for her, and don't know how to help! what's worse is, normally i just offer a listening ear and shoulder to cry on, but we're miles apart and haven't talked much the last few years, not even online. so i don' t know how comfortable she'll be talking to me about this now. i offered all the same, but i'm hoping she has more then just me to help her through this. hopefully someone close by, ya know?

i feel even worse too, because i figured from the start (when she got married maybe a year ago, maybe less) that they were going to have problems. she's only 20 years old, and while the two of them knew each other some as kids, they hadn't been dating for too long before the wedding. i didn't say anything though, because what kind of friend would say something like that to a newly wed? if i'd heard about it while they were engaged i might have interjected, but not when they're still fresh from the honeymoon, ya know?

also, i think she may be pregnant .... and that's just a WHOLE nuther can of worms right there -_-;

maybe i'll go up that way to visit my mom latter this summer, and we can get together sometime in there for a heart to heart. ... i don't know.... i wish we lived closer together, but there's not much to be done for that right now. i have school, and i think she's gone back to stay with her parents until she can get back on her feet again. ...


*sigh* i just hope she'll be okay.
