friends and weekends.

Doesn't that sound like a Paul Simon song?

I had a perfect weekend... packed with my fun work, my girls and absolutely unbeatable fun with friends.

My highlights:

Bears party with my vacation family: Pennellwood cousins, and some of my all-time favorite people, ever.

Hanging out with my Parkview family.

Bowling and laughing till I (almost) wet my pants.
Staying out till 1AM. (when's the last time that happened!?!)
The first snowfall of the year.
Griffy's "guns."
The shamrock game.
Extra money :)
Awesome portrait sessions. (check out the new gallery being posted by tomorrow night!)
The non-threatening Question game.

I love the process of getting to know people better, and the surprises I enjoy as I find out we are all connected... somehow, someway.

I also love planning, which we did for the holidays and the months to come.

On the schedule:

Partylite at She's
Mexican New Year's Eve.
Jack's Texas Hold 'Em. (cupholders included)
Craps.
More bowling.
A weekend in Indiana.
A week in Minnesota.

More great memories in the making.

Planning sometimes makes life's daily struggles seem less significant and less daunting.

I ran like crazy this weekend, from point A to points B, C, D, E and F.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
