Thank God For Friends

I'm really blessed beyond any words I can spit type out -- I have some of the greatest friends on earth. 

Yesterday, I was that good friend to my friend Mary. 

My car, you see, is in the shop getting its mirror put back on and body work repaired due to the "mirror incident" in early March.  Mary was going to take me home yesterday after work as I had forgotten to bring comfy shoes to walk home in.

We talk, she says she'll be by in an hour or so to pick me up (she was offsite, but had to pick up the youngest kiddo onsite anyway).  About an hour and a half later, I'm still wondering where she is.  I get a call from her telling me she needs me to do her a big favor and drive HER home. 

She's got food poisoning.  Bad. 

Apparently she stopped three times on the way back from her meeting and then called me from the parking lot.   I drove her home, stopping about 7 times by the side of the road so she could rid herself of what was obviously some very bad lunch.

I'm glad it wasn't me ... but I know she'd be there for me if I were that sick. 

For that, I'm thankful.

2010 is here.

Last night was lovely -- Mary and Lee hosted a NYE party at their home with a number of their friends. I think I managed to make a couple new friends too -- and given that my friend count here in Florida is rather low, I'm glad to have made them.

I did get kissed more at this NYE party than I've ever been kissed at a NYE party -- even though all kisses were on the cheek, it was a welcome way to celebrate this new year and decade. Perhaps this will lead to more kisses in this decade? A girl can dream!

Today has been spent cleaning up a bit from the party, driving home, snoozing with the kittens and generally daydreaming. At a little before 3, I woke up and showered, then headed back to Mary and Lee's home to celebrate their oldest daughter's 15th birthday. They have some of the coolest kids around, so it is always nice to spend time with them all.

I was back here around six, and now just chilling out. I haven't a doubt I'll be in bed soon.

2010 resolutions:

1. Focus on eating at home/home cooked meals. I spent the last six months eating out a lot and I can tell.

2. Work out at least 3x per week for 30 minutes each time.

3. Get at least 8 hours sleep each night.


That's it for 2010. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
