Welcome Back

Hey, you.

Glad you're back. I did get your text about not being able to log on - like Friday night or something? I responded to you at the time, but last night, cleaning up my texts, I found that response in my "drafts" section. Still grappling with technology, as you can see.

I had a quiet weekend too. Friday night, the gang got together at S&T's on a whim - well, sort of - T had it all planned but none of the rest of us knew about it until late that afternoon. It was actually really fun and relaxing, and I didn't mind the part where not only did I not have to do anything, I didn't have to bring anything either.

Saturday J had to work part of the day, so I mostly had the place to myself. It was gorgeous out, so I spent several hours washing and detailing my car. With an 11 year old kid and the weather here, I don't know why I bothered. But it was kind of fun anyway, bopping around my driveway with my music blaring and the sun shining. Later that day, JJ invited his buddy, NK - inseparable BFE - to spend the night. The four of us had a really quiet dinner and J and I were in bed by ten. So nice not to have plans or have to be anywhere.

Sunday the boys played golf in the morning; I dinked around working on KD's release party evite and a promo poster, then at 3 we went over to their (KD's)house for the SuperBowl. There were only 8 of us there - not S&T, even, so it was very quiet. K&R, KD & JD, us, CK & JK - that was it. JJ had gone to another party with NK, so it was nice. We were rooting for the Saints, so everyone was happy in the end. We were home and asleep by 9:00, I think. That whole bottle of wine in the middle of the day knocks me right out. It was a lot of fun, though - not the rowdy screaming-at-the-tv we usually do.

This week I've got a couple of little things but nothing much. K and I are thinking of going to see a movie one day (free tickets!) but other than that, I might actually be able to tackle the photo gallery, or the filing, or....not. Mostly, I'm looking forward to the long weekend (we get Friday and Monday off). We were invited up to D&M's house (Identify: Watson & Crick) to join other friends from Pullman for a big weekend sleepover. Completely coincidentally, JJ was invited to go to a three-night church camp with E, so it's all working out perfectly. We'll go up Saturday morning and hang out til Monday sometime, then head home. Should be a great time, and maybe I'm a little excited to hang out with "new" people. :-)

Glad to hear you made it down to see S play basketball Friday. I love C's "pway bwocks" ! You are so good to spend as much time as you do with them. I haven't seen G or AJ in I can't remember how long - nor have I spoken to BroJ since Christmas. I just can't seem to muster up the energy to fake it. Is that terrible?

Anyway...I'm off to write my 100th post. Of course there will be a thank you in there - did you think I wouldn't give you credit? Silly!

Do you have a short week too? Hope so! Also saw on the news that you might be getting the noreaster you've been praying for....? I'll put in a good word if I can.

Love,
A
