What's been going on...

Hummm, life's been pretty good. Just came off of a much needed long weekend (come to think of it, isn't every weekend much needed??). My friend Tericka came to visit and we hit the beach on Sat. Seriously, I haven't been to the beach during the day in over a year and something (definitely not since I moved to FL which is ironic because I love the beach...). It was a perfect beach day. Breezy, warm, rolling waves, the whole bit and it was great to just be able to lay around and catch up with her. She's doing great things and I'm proud of the woman she's become since we were roommates in college. My how we've grown, hehehe. If I was thinking I should have pulled out some of those old photo albums, next time you come girl, next time. We were (and still are) some hot mommas. ;-)



Sunday my honey came home (he'd been MIA since Thurs, out of town for a cousin's graduation) and we took a moment to get caught up laughing and talking. 3 days felt like forever! Sometimes I'm amazed at the fact that we can sit and not say a thing and it's just as good as when the conversation can't stop flowing. That was the case as we sat eating a quick snack before going to see Pirates of the Caribbean. I guess we missed each other because I was a little sad when it was time to go into our movie because I felt like it was cutting our conversation short. Good thing I married him cause I know just where to find him when I need some intellectual rousing...or not (we have the most random conversations, often including debates on biddies, flying snakes, and if cows will bite...)

Soooo, Pirates was good. I would say great, but I don't really have a strong feeling like it blew my mind. It was a good "third" and most times the third version of a movie stinks. This one put to rest some of the previous plot cliff hangers and still managed to create one for a possible fourth. Johnny Depp's an excellent pirate, but I'm sure he would love some more roles (did anyone ever see Chocolat? He was a pirate in that too...), but then again, what do I know? Money's money and all of the movie showings were sold out on a Sunday afternoon/evening...

Mon was spent getting our house in order. KJ tackled the outside and I proceeded to wash and fold 83 loads of laundry. sheesh! But the house is clean and that's a good feeling.

Tonight my neighbor is hosting a tasting party for Tastefully Simple. It's kind of like Avon, only food and I'm excited about meeting some of the women in our neighborhood. I'm pretty sure that I'm on the outs because my husband's not military, because we have no children, and because I work. Still, if they'll have me (hehehe) I'd like to know more than just my neighbor Sarah b.c I actually like our little sub-division and if I run out of eggs and Sarah's not home then I'm screwed. I'll let you know how the party goes. You know I'm a food addict, so I'm going with a $20 budget that I refuse to go over.

I guess that's about it. Work is work. Not bad, so that's a blessing. Freelance stuff is still piling up and I need to start knocking it out so not to tarnish my name should I ever decide to "work for myself" again.

Speaking of work, let me get back to it. I came in with a "get it done" attitude and needless to say, it quickly waned.

Happy Thursday everyone (or atleast to the 4 people I know for sure haven't given up on me and are still reading this blog)! ;-)
