Riding in Cars with Boys and Cadbury eggs
I was going to write this totally deep, mind stimulating, epiphany-creating blog tonight, but it's now bedtime and I'm too tired to write my novel. It'll have to wait for another day, as today's extreme monday-ness (is that a word?) took it out of me mentally. I had a fun weekend, despite that fact Ive seen Conrad for about 12 hours or less since Thursday at 5 p.m. Luckily, I have wonderful girlfriends who make the weekends fun and never boring. It was great to go to dinner at Wingers on Friday, followed by half-pound frozen yogurts (each!) at Maverick and then hang out and talk with Darci, Fawn and Pooh. Saturday I got out of my robe at about 4:30 and got ready to face the world, or more like, ready to get into some pjs and grab some junk food so I could go hang out with some friends and watch a movie. Sunday was good besides the constant underlying thoughts I woke up with and had throughout the day (that's where I'll have to explain more later...). I went to Bamboo Garden-yum!-which was all good, except for my dad not being able to come eat with us because he was crying and thinking about my grandma who died 2 weeks ago today. That always tugs the heartstrings to see your dad cry. But Em joined the rest of my family and we had fun and my dad was feeling better when we got home later. The weekend ended with Pooh and I renting a great Drew Barrymore flick, one neither of us had seen forever, and it was SOOO cute, I had forgotten how good it was. Of course, the sisters' movie night couldn't be complete without popcorn, chips, and ..... cadbury eggs!!! So all in all, the weekend ended up great, and I'm looking forward to next weekend when I can again indulge in Cadbury's utterly delicious egg.
p.s. did I talk a lot about food? hmmm. not surprised:)

So, I decided to join the blogging world.
It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, and my sister and I just got done watching One Tree Hill, a guilty pleasure my mom recorded for me since I was in Florida on Wednesday night:) I guess we did go to Curves today, but now we're plopped down watching What Not to Wear and eating candy (another guilty pleasure of mine...). Florida was soooo fun, it was close to 80 degrees everyday...then I came back to a snow storm. We went to Cape Canaveral to visit Kennedy Space Center, Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, golfing (i drove a golf cart around), an outlet mall:), a helicopter ride over Orlando, a ride on the world's tallest Skycoaster (300 feet off the ground into a free-fall--ahhh!!), and played some miniature golf. I loved the palm trees, the sun, and being able to be with Conrad for a week straight. It was the perfect amount of time to be away. I went back to work yesterday and was met with my clients saying how much they missed me and some big hugs. This is one of the reasons I love my job. I love knowing that I make a difference in people's lives and that I am missed when I'm not there. Well, I'm getting pretty longwinded, as I have a habit of doing when I write, so more later...
