Thanks for Good Friends!!

It is getting late but I just have to say that it is great to have good friends. It is also great to connect with old friends. Today was one of those days. I met up with three old friends. Two that I had not seen in quite awhile. Michelle, Wendy, and Melissa! It was great to see you three today. Remember March 28th for our next get together.
After my trip down memory lane, I met another friend for movies. Jennifer is my movie buddy, project buddy, and just buddy! She is great. We went to Inkheart with a niece and nephew of hers. They are so cute and fun to be around especially since I don't get to be around kids much. Then after that we went to New in Town. We like to do double features once in awhile. Both movies were definitely worth it. What fun! Harry Connick Jr. is so dang cute.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Girl's Weekend!

I had such a nice weekend this past weekend. It was definitely a girl's weekend. On Friday, a couple of friends and I got off work a little early and went to Bride Wars. I do not care what the critics say, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was cute. I did not care for the comment that you are not alive until you are married but I am sure that is because "I am dead." After the movie, we went to Jason's Deli at The Gateway. The chicken potpie soup is definitely something you should try. Very tasty!

On Saturday, I hung out with my project/movie buddy. That was a great day, too. Jennifer and I worked on projects. Maybe I will post some later. Later that day we went to Valkyrie with Traci. That was such an inspiring movie.

I did not clean like I should have but the weekend was great just the same!

Oh My Back!!

I know I sound like an old lady, but the snow is not good for my back. It is probably a common ailment this time of year. Shoveling that heavy wet snow is doing wonders for my back. Now it is snowing again, so guess what is waiting for me when I get home! Winter wonderland. The snow is beautiful. I do like it, really. I just do not like to drive in it or shovel it!

2009

Wow! It is 2009! I can remember when I was a little girl and I thought that 14 was so old. I know, I know that was a LONG time ago. Then I was thinking the other day how an old roommate of mine and I used to make up mantras for the New Year. Even that was ten years ago!!! So it is 2009! 2008 was quite a year. I became an aunt. That was the most amazing thing to happen. I will never forget holding my nephew for the first time. I learned things about myself in 2008. I try not to wish the time away, because you should not wish your life away. What does that accomplish? I just have to remember that when I am going through those tough times! I haven't even thought much about resolutions. Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't. I have some ideas but nothing set.
