Feeling Grown-Up

So Steve is at school tonight and what do I end up doing - laundry and vaccuuming. Trying to be extra - efficient with my "alone time" so I won't have to do it this weekend. Cleaning on a Friday night? Whoa - 10 years ago I would not be caught DEAD doing that.

Was initally going to be going home to celebrate Sarah's birthday this weekend. Unfortunately, that's not going to workout, so at least I can do some "winter cleaning" and run lots of errands tomorrow so that I can devote my FULL afternoon/evening on Sunday night to watching Pittsburgh kick some Baltimore butt and hopefully the Cardinals and Eagles game will be a good one as well. Has anyone noticed that three of the final four are birds??? Go Steelers!!!

Life in Reverse

Do you ever have days that you feel like your life is going in reverse? That's how I feel today. In all actuality life is not going in reverse at all, but going at the speed of light. Or 59mph as some guy in Steve's class proudly announced - that was how fast light travels. So I try to look at what is moving forward. I'd like to think my career is - and definitely my relationship with my husband. It seems as we get older though some of our friendships dwindle away - go in reverse. Today I had that moment. When you actually get a clear sign that the friendship is totally over, was totally over and you wanted it to be over, but then - smack dab in your face is that sign that it is actually over.

Now I will take this time to be very thankful for the bestest and truest friends that I have and visit them to celebrate the beginning of our new decade this year...the 30s!
