Photo Credit: Mine all mineYesterday I took the boy to the fair to have one more fun date before he moves to Seattle. I have to say I have not enjoyed the fair this much in a really long time. We looked at all of the exhibits, walked through the different shops, saw all of the livestock (cute, smelly and sad because they are going to be eaten...) almost stuck around for a pig race but missed it because we were drawing on little cards in the art exhibit.
We went over to kiddie land and I took a bunch of pictures, then we went back to grown up land and I took more pictures. The fair is such an amazing place to take pictures. I feel like the pictures create a place so much more magical than the San Diego Fair really is.
When I was younger the fair had so much promise. I imagined finding a boyfriend part way through the day and going on the ferris wheel with him.
These days I know not to look for a boy at the fair and this time, for the first time EVER I had one. We went on the ferris wheel and I took billions of pictures with my 20 different cameras and threw a kiss in now and then.
It was a really, really good date. I didn't spend THAT much money. Paid for parking, bought discount tickets from Albertson's, only bought enough tickets to ride the ferris wheel, and just walked around. I'm usually so spend spend spend but I'm trying REALLY hard to get better.
Before I get off track into money land I would just like to end this and say yesterday was worth everything. I shot some amazing pictures with my polaroid if nothing else and I got to spend quality time with my boyfriend at a fair. Something I've been wanting to be able to say for YEARS.
So yeah it's a bummer that he's moving, and yeah I'm going to be single again but I'm proud of myself for making the most of this time and trying to have as much fun as possible instead of giving up because it hurts.
Reading The Happiness Project during an emotional time is also really good for me.

I completely remember those day dreams I had when I was young -- that I would go to some place (a fair, a mall, a beach) and meet some cute boy who would chat me up. By the end of the day, in my mind, he'd kiss me. You know, sometimes, real life is way better than daydreams like that.
So happy to hear you had a wonderful time at the fair.
