I need to update!
Okay, I know it has been a long time.....no excuses...just lazy, I guess.
So what has been going on? Hmmm, Halloween happened! That was fun! It was kind of warm here that night. Ron put speakers out in the woods and popped on the scary music. Put up the not incredibly scary ghostly thing in the front yard and redirected a few lights in the front yard, and he and I settled in on the front porch in our rockers and waited for the kids to come. We enjoyed ourselves. It was fun talking to the kids and their parents. And we enjoyed talking to each other too!
This weekend we had the weirdest experience... My Mom has not been feeling too well, so we decided to take her to our favorite diner in Annapolis for Breakfast/Lunch. The historical place I have mentioned here before where I get my favorite crab omelet and they say the pledge to the flag.... Anyway... This seems to happen to us a lot.... We go to a place a million times on our own and things are great, but as soon as we take someone else, everything falls apart.... Well.... our food took a really long time, and when we got it, Ron's fries were cold, Mom's food was cold, and my omelet was nonexistent (I saw the waitress send it back because it had no crab in it). So when the manager finally brought me my omelet....he said, here, how's this....and I opened it up, and.... no tomato, no mushroom, and....once again....no crab. Anyway, the manager's face got very red and the owner stepped in and I quickly got the biggest, fattest crab omelet known to mankind. Unfortunately I couldnt eat the whole thing, so it was kind of a waste.... Anyway.... disappointing experience, but that is how it goes sometimes.
Last night I had a Partylite Candle party. First of all, my wonderful husband helped to clean the house and set up. I am really lucky. He always pitches in and does a lot around here. Also, the night of the event, he always greets people and helps carry stuff. He is a nice guy. Last night I got an extra surprise when my bff Rhonda showed up. I haven't seen her or talked to her for a really long time and it was awesome to catch up. She was the one who introduced Ron and I to each other, and she was in our wedding at 8 1/2 months pregnant, and she is gorgeous and funny and always the life of the party....and unfortunately, she has cancer....blech. Stage 4 out of 4. But God can do miracles, right?! Anyway, so that made my night.....and Ron's too! We sat and talked for a while long after everyone else left. We always just pick up where we left off.....
Anyway....no other words of wisdom for today....just thankful for my friends.....
peace....

Friends are a really good thing... especially really good friends.
i know what you mean about taking someone to 'this restaurant that's really great! you're going to love it!!!' then it ends of being the worst you've ever experienced in customer service...it's happened.
hey, i have...uh, get to go to a party lite party tonite. it's not that i don't like party lite...but i'd just rather stay home (it IS thursday you know w/ scrubs, the office and ER) and i have no money to spend, so that's depressing as well. but, i DO love the candles!!
^friends ARE a good thing. (hmmm, listen to me, sounds like martha stewart..."it's a good thing")
ryc: i know you're just teasing...and i'm just teasing you as well. one thing you can feel sure of, is that the odds are pretty high that i won't take things too seriously, get offended or mad by things said here. i can usually tell when things are in jest or teasing or in fun. you can relax in that knowledge.
I missed your posts, but I know it's nice to take a break once in awhile.
I love the vanilla partylite candles. Too bad I don't live closer, or I would have come!
And yes, friends are a blessing. You're a blessing to me!
