A Brain Dump ... the Weekend Edition

  • I had the most fun last night eating dinner with 2 college roommates and one of their daughters
  • then we went to the movies
  • the three of us used to do a weekend away once a year when we were birthing and raising our kids
  • friendships of 30+ years are so dear
  • the Butler had a work thing last night and didn't get home until 2:00 AM
  • he is sound asleep on the couch right now and he is not snoring, which might be a miracle
  • I just ate a smoothie created in my Ninja ... frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, Chobani Greek yogurt, a splash of milk and 2 ice cubes of frozen OJ, plus a handful of chocolate chips because ... well, why not
  • I bought a new umbrella today
  • I got a haircut
  • I stocked up on skin care stuff after reading an article by someone who thinks we don't need to spend thousands on taking care of our skin
  • I got oranges, bananas, cucumbers, zucchinis, spinach, mushrooms, snow peas, hummus, and wheat thins so I'm looking forward to my work lunches this week
  • I also stopped at Whole Foods and got some good supplements that are really helping with my chronic sinus issues
  • the windows are open and we are wearing sweatshirts so that we can keep them open
  • I won a Kindle!  I know I said I was saving my Swagbucks to buy one but now I don't need to.  I'm over the moon excited about it.
  • I have one more week at work with the lady that is retiring and I need it
  • I cannot believe how much learning I have done in the last 2 weeks
  • I did not see the Royal Wedding yesterday but I did tune in to see the double kiss
  • Yay for peer pressure
  • I loved loved loved Kate's obvious response when she and Will walked out on the balcony and she saw the crowd below for the first time ... and she very clearly said, "OH WOW!" 
  • I lost an earring on the way home from work and so Monday I shall keep my eyes peeled as I walk in the other direction
  • my feet hurt today because I forgot to put my sneakers on when I went on my errands this morning
  • did you watch the Oprah Show on Wednesday?  Yeah, me either.  But I am searching for a link to the entire episode because a friend I have known since high school, and we email and talk on the phone nearly daily, and have for a long long time, was one of the viewers chosen for Bob Green's 20 Years Younger Challenge and she looks AMAZING
  • I'm so looking forward to church tomorrow ... mostly because I just do every week
  • it's time to make dinner ... hamburger and sweet potato fries for him ... Dr Praeger's meatless burger and waffle fries for me ... raw zucchini and carrots for both of us
  • and we'll likely watch a West Wing Season Four episode tonight
I really hope y'all have a lovely weekend.  Time is flying by and tomorrow is May for Pete's sake.  How did that even happen?
