Saved

From myself today. I was laying around all morning, feeling sorry for myself. Had a horrible night’s sleep and was awakened before 5AM by a certain little unnamed punk who wouldn’t go back to sleep and spent a lot of time pulling my hair and punching my nose in the ensuing 1.5 hours before I finally gave up and just crawled out of bed. Had a headache (on only half of my head…weird) and was just grumpy, tired and lazy.

Enter Kent. [angels singing] My good friend and former neighbor. A girl, by the way [you should've heard my mom's shock and horror when I told her one time I was going to a movie with Kent...she assumed it was her husband I was talking about. :)] She called me and asked if I would go to lunch with her. That was just enough to pull me out of my personal darkness, get dressed, put on some makeup and clean up a bit. I haven’t even gone to lunch yet and already feel better. Love how friends can do that for us! YAY friends!!

I was going to post a horrible picture of us, but decided I’d let you imagine how beautiful and fabulous we are. :)

    saved by the pals! What a great things friends are - saving us from ourselves when we’d rather be lazy. Have a great rest of the day and turn in early…if the youngun’s will let ya ;)

    Awww!! Totally almost made me cry (the only thing that helped me not go over the edge is the fact that I’d be crying at the computer screen while still wearing the old t-shirt I slept in - not a pretty sight). You are awesome!! I hope you came down from your Excederin high - just say no to drugs! :-)
    And for the record we had 3 kids with us at lunch that were little terrors, running around while we tried to eat, got us kicked out of a store and one little one who will remain anonymous stole some candy - but Shannon and I are getting pretty good at tuning all this out.

    I agree. Waking up unexpectedly stinks.

    Neighbor friends are the best when they ask you out to lunch.

    Your banner’s making me smile wide. :D
