Blessings

Okay, A, in the future, when you write an entry like that you might want to start with you should probably grab a cocktail (between 12 and 5) or a glass of wine (after 5)...lol

An eventful 24 hours indeed. While reading, for whatever reason, I thought of an expression one of my colleagues shared with me years ago. She is Romanian, and shared that "back in [her] old country," when it came to matters of fate, of getting signs from the universe, they would say "God won't hit you with a stick." He may, however, bruise your ribs and get you home where you should be....Amen.

You sure do have great friends, A. Chinese food and cake and champagne sounds awesome. As much as I crave having coffee face to face with you out of your Hey, Diddle Diddle mugs, I also can't wait to meet your friends, to wear a BLU sweatshirt for a weekend. I'm not even going to pretend to try or want to lose 20 pounds between now and then. I know I'll be getting cheek kisses and hugs 20 minutes after I meet them or as I walk away from the fire pit, regardless....

Wow. That just reminded me that on my last two visits, J would always give me a hug and a kiss too when he would turn in and leave us to all our late-night-Gemini blah blah. You do have good one there, A. Hang on to him, too.

Even if your nails look like sh*t today, Amanda, you're doing okay.

Love You Lots,
Barb
