Saturday, I cleaned my house a bit - it was in dire need. Been so busy taking care of Michael that I really haven't been able to pay attention to the dust and whatnot that needed to be swept, vacummed, etc. It got tackled on Saturday. WHEW! So, if you want to visit, come by NOW before shit gets real again!!!
Saturday night, I attended a joint birthday party for my friends, Sarah and Stephanie. Michael came along, brace and all. And while I was worried about his comfort level and how much I knew he would pay for it later, being around people that we know and love was very therapeutic for him. I was happy that for the time being, he was happy!! A friend from Virginia Beach (Mark) decided to tag along. I love when you bring a friend that no one knows to a party. I was getting asked all night - who's the guy? I'd have to tell Mark's story - how we know each other, why I invited him to come with us to the party, and how great of a guy he is - don't believe me? Ask him to share his Jaegermeister. And he did.
Sunday, I went to brunch with Jeff, Kelly, and my best friend from high school, Kimie. Kimie and I have been best friends since the 9th grade. Considering that I graduated 24 years ago, with 4 years of high school, that's 28 years of friendship. WOW! Ahhhhhh-mazing! She's my heart - if I were lesbian, I'd only want Kimie. It's that kind of a relationship - we know everything about each other, each other's families, each other's kids. She's very cool!!!
This got me to thinking.... so I started trolling my own pictures on Facebook. I see some friends on a fairly regular basis. I found it hard to believe that it'll be three years in October that I met Jeff, Kelly, Christopher, Derek, Joe and Stacey. These are people that I've come to love dearly, that there's nothing I wouldn't do for them, and I've come to lean on when I need support. It's been almost five years since I met Stephanie (I got blow job in my hair....whole other blog post), and seven years since I met Sarah and Mike. I've known Kathy and Ken for eight years, and by putting our husbands together, we get to spend a lot of quality girl time (we're GENIUSES!!!!!!). All this to say - I'm so very fortunate. No matter how bitchy I may feel, no matter what circumstances I'm going through, I am really very lucky to have amazing people in my life. I love you all!!!! XOXOXO
Now.... here's a few happy hour pictures from Friday!!
