A Good Friday

Good morning, Barb.

It's a rare morning when I leave myself time for reading and (!) writing.  Fridays, JJ has 0 period Choir, so I end up with an extra half hour to myself. I don't think there has been one of those days I haven't completely wasted and ended up being late to work anyway.  Yay... I like days like today.  I'm thinking I'll hold onto this feeling of getting it right.

Things have calmed down around here, now that all the major work upstairs is mostly done, my party is over, JB has come and gone, and J was finally accepted into his pipes and drums band. (His first public performance will be St. Patrick's Day.)  I kind of took this week off from doing much after work, even though I still have switch plates to replace and little stuff like that.  I got bored shopping for lamps and ceiling fans so I gave up for awhile.  I haven't loved my bedroom for years ~ it certainly doesn't need to be finished today.  Just the new carpet and paint are enough to make me feel soooo much better.

This weekend, JJ's off to a sleepover tonight, so J and I are having date night.  Don't know where we're going for dinner, but I'm thinking about getting The Ides of March to watch on DVD later. Have you seen it?  Tomorrow,  I do have to get on the minutia of decorating, so we'll spend time on that and other puttering activities.  Saturday night is dinner at K&R's - her oldest son finished the bar exam for the second time on Thursday, so drinks are in order.  Evenings at their house are always a good time, so I'm looking forward to that.

Then it's just three days until we leave for the sun! We take off late Tuesday afternoon for Phoenix - a little golf, a few ball games at spring training, cold beers by the pool and shopping with my mom.  I can't imagine a better way to spend next week, particularly since it's currently snowing here.  (I know, it's not really snowing, like in your part of the country.  It's west coast snow.  Still.)

I hope all is well with you ~ have you heard anything about dates this summer?  I can't wait for our vacation!

Have a great weekend!
Love you
A
