For the past two weekends in a row the weather has just been downright awesome! This evening it was chilly enough that I actually got cold, granted that doesn’t take much but it was still nice, I just hope these falls like temperatures are here to stay for a little bit. I checked the local weather and they’re predicting that they are.

There’s something in the breeze though that makes me wish I was in Oxford. I guess because I loved days like this where I could open up all of my windows in my apartment and let the breeze come in. Of course this wasn’t until after I replaced all of my window screens because the people I rented from were horrible about making repairs. I even replaced Cheryl’s when she lived next door, I was out on the deck working on mine and she had just woken up and came out the door, I guess to see what I was doing, lol. She stood there for a minute and then she asked ‘will you fix mine?’ and I did.

A typical night in Oxford usually meant me sitting at my kitchen table in front of my computer watching re-runs of my favorite t.v. shows because I didn’t have cable or satellite at the time. I was ok with that, especially if my place was clean and usually on a breezy night there was coffee involved – snuggled up in a nice long sleeved t-shirt was always the best. My cats loved it, too, they would gallivant all over the place when the windows were open.

There are a million and one reasons why I miss Oxford but I just loved it there, I was content in my little one bedroom apartment in the trees with the loud neighbors, I was really happy there. Sadly I didn’t realize just how happy until I moved back to my home town. I’m not totally miserable here and I’ve reconnected with a lot of people from before but Oxford was the place for me. It had a lot to do with the atmosphere there; I lived just a few miles from The University of Mississippi better known as Ole miss and just a few miles from the town square which is one of my favorite places in Oxford, especially around the holidays. I think I miss the coffee from Uptown Coffee/High Point.

So I had planned for this post to be about this awesome weather we’re having in the south but it quickly went to my heart being in Oxford. I sat outside tonight with the chilly winds circling around me, almost freezing and I began to tear up a little bit because of how much I miss living there, who knows maybe it’s the fact that I don’t have my own place that’s eating me up more than anything.

So for now I’m done babbling about Oxford…I still think that I would give almost anything to be there right now…
