THE GOOD
I was able to spend some really great quality time with some top notch girls this weekend! On a sentimental note, God has placed a great group of girls in my life {an answered prayer} They are fun{ny}, encouraging, loving, and crazy dancers. I think over the last couple years I have been learning what it is like to be a friend and enjoy friends. I always cherish the times we get to spend together.
What else was good...oh dinner tonight with family was goooood. I love our house, it is quaint, cozy, and warm {i hope}. We had warm chicken noodle soup and hot turkey and havarti sandwiches. I love having so many people over that you run out of chairs and everyone is sitting on a corner, elbowing each other, and enjoying the company. Family is good...but family that are also friends is even better. I appreciate them and our growing family!!
THE BAD
Saturday morning and afternoon were bad! Lets just say I really like to go to bed early. I think I am an 80 year old woman stuck in this 26 year old body. I enjoy nestling down in bed around 9:30-10 and dozing off soon after. This ritual did not happen on Friday night. 3:00 am...to some a normal night out, me....never happens!! I know me...i know my body, I need sleep. To function, talk, make sense, do anything. When I do not get it, I shut down. Saturday's are one of my favorite days to get things done. Typically, I have gone to the gym, been to work, showered and back at home by 10 am on a Saturday morning. The rest of Saturday I spend at the house, doing housework, organizing, hanging out with Joe. I love Saturdays. Yesterday was bad. Besides dragging myself out of bed to make it to Norah's swim lessons and trying not to fall in my lunch with my mother-in-law after...I was in bed. {literally the last place I like to be on a Saturday afternoon!} I was practically comatose. Then I had to get back up...get all fancied back up again to go to a wedding! Seriously, I am not made for that kind of lifestyle. We left the wedding by 9:00. I wish I was made for that lifestyle a little more but I like rest too much!
THE UGLY
S0 for Christmas I was given 3 wonderful vases {as seen above} from my mom. She bought them 5 years ago in Savannah and ever since that day I have wanted them. She never hung them and from time to time I would ask her what she was going to do with them...and lets just say it was the best gift ever! I was shocked and so excited. I just love them. So Joe and I were hanging them today over our kitchen sink. I will get an actually picture someday. The first 2 went up like nothing. We were careful, mindful of their fragile state...and treating them with respect. The last one I let Joe handle by himself. I backed away to get a good look at them in all of their beauty and just as that thought of how much I love them was crossing my mind the thought was shattered as I watched the vase slip from Joe's hands onto the granite countertop. My reaction {ugly}...I fell to the floor and shed a tear {or two}...poor Joe. He felt terrible. I didn't blame him, just bummed. What happened next was a miracle. As we assessed the damage I realized the vase had not broken at all. The only thing that broke was the little glass bulb at the bottom {see picture}. There was a perfect smooth break. We glued it back together with nail glue that I happened to have from Andrea's wedding. It seriously is as good as new. Crazy...crazy!!!
the good, the bad, the ugly, it's the little things that make our lives exciting!
