It is time for some FUN!!!!!

This week started off with the ringing in of a new year -- 2012 -- and the recovery from a teen overnighter...followed by a fun day of thrifting, lunch, & laughter with Ruthie on Monday.  It's lovely that the New Year's holiday fell on a Sunday and that I had the blessing of having Monday off as we observed the new year. 

Tuesday...nothing exciting -- work and then the gym.  It was nice being back in a routine. 

Wednesday -- work and then nursery duty.  Thankfully the little guy that I spent an hour with has learned to love me.  Who would've thunk?  I said to the other nursery worker, "Remember when he would just cry and cry and I told you, 'He will never like me!'"  She replied that yes, she did recall my speech lamenting the dislike of one little blue-eyed boy.  We both rejoiced in our new-found friendship.  Personally, I think for the little fellow, the turning-point in our "relationship" was the night I gave him Goldfish crackers until he could eat no more.  Food...works like a charm.  :)

Today -- Thursday -- work all day and then a meeting of the minds at our local coffee establishment where we discussed a plethora of topics.  The girls at the table were reminded, "What's said at the table -- stays at the table!"  And then I proceeded to ramble on and on....  They (the girls) already knew what has taken me awhile to figure out.  They are bright, those Starbuck's stars in my life. :)  I like that Ruthie referred to us as her "Starbuck's stars" -- I love that our friendship is like that...give and take...but we always, always, always put our perspective in the proper place -- the Lord.  I'm blessed by their friendship.

Tomorrow -- Friday -- (drumroll, please)...I, Angie Good, was invited out to supper at Panera and then pedicures with Ginger...where we shall make another memory...and you know what?  Even if we have a moment (or two or three) where we cannot fight the tears of sadness, I know it's going to be okay.  She has imprinted something so wonderful on my heart -- a bit of herself...and I will treasure her friendship for forever.  (On a side note -- I cannot wait to share with you what fun little bag o'Gingerness that I have put together.)

Happy almost-pedicure Friday to me!  And Happy - Happy Friday to You!!!!

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
