My friend Angie had Game Night at her house last weekend.  It was tons of fun – there was lots of yummy food & drinks.  We rocked out on Rock Band, played Scattergories, Balderdash & Taboo.
Also, Chrissy (again!) brought her magic, bottomless boxes of makeup to share.  SUCH an awesome night – good friends, great [...]

Tie-Dye & Coffee

August 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I wore this to work & then out with the girls for coffee.  It was another meet-up night, which was fun.  Again!  I don’t know if I trust this to keep up LOL.  I’m amazed at how many unique & independent & interesting (would you believe it?) women I’m meeting at these gatherings. 
This time I met [...]

Playing Tourist in Naples

August 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I visited my friend Polly this past Saturday.  She’s the one that taught me how to make homemade tortillas, if you recall.  She lives downtown so we walked around the neighborhood & enjoyed the sites. 
I used to love walking around downtown & going into all the galleries when I first moved here in 1997.  I [...]

A Nice Saturday Visit

August 21st, 2009 · No Comments

My husband worked on Saturday & forgot his phone at home.  Being the long-suffering wife that I am, I popped out & took it to him on my way to do some errands. 
I ended up having the nicest visit with the lady of the house where he was working.  Very interesting woman.  She ended up [...]

Socializing Myself Out of My Rut

July 23rd, 2009 · 5 Comments

I decided to take Apricot’s wonderful advice about making friends just this past week.  I joined a meetup on meetup.com.  Unlike other times I’ve joined a meetup, this time I actually went to an event!
It was a lot of fun!  I don’t even know if I can express how good it made me feel.  And how I [...]

My very good friend, Stacy, had a birthday party last Saturday, along with her twin sis, Marie. They have the best parties & we always have way too much fun with them.

Catching Up With Old Friends

March 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I spent an evening lately catching up with some dear friends that I worked with ages (about 10 years) ago.  Time flies but we’re all the same fun, smart ladies we were back then.  And I swear none of us look a day older – weird…  None of us have changed too much.  We’re still [...]
