A good Tuesday...so far

{Here's why}

~ I found out one of my best friends and her hubby are moving into a house that's only about 3 houses down from our apartment!I am super excited,because A and I used to be really close,and would party all the time,along with my sister (who was originally A's friend).We would go out during the week and then spend the next night moaning to each other about our hangovers.It was awesome!Anyhow,she got married 3 years ago,moved away,and we probably only saw each other like,4 times in the whole time since then.She called me yesterday with the news,and I have to say,it was the best birthday present I could've asked for.

~ My best friend,L,sent me a lovely letter and the most adorable (and super comfy) winter socks for my birthday.
She knows me too well,because my old slippers have finally gotten the boot,and come winter time,my feet are always freezing,so this is the perfect present for me.I didn't know I was getting anything,so when I got this package,it was a very fun little surprise.She's the BEST!

~ My boss told me yesterday,that since I worked so hard this past weekend (which was my birthday weekend,of course),they've decided that I should have this Friday off.Can you believe it?It's awesome!

~ Only 4 more days until we go away for the weekend.We are renting a caravan for our stay by the seaside,which is so great,because I love anything to do with a caravan.I don't know why,maybe I have some gypsey blood in me.

So there,like I said,a very good Tuesday so far.

Happy Boys and Girls

This song is so typically 90's,which was the era I grew up in.Even though I wouldn't be caught dead listening to this out loud now (you know,since I've become so super cool in my mid-20's #doubtful),this particular song brings back great memories of my best friend and I during school vacations at our beach house,walking around all day planning how we would get the boys to like us,watching the boys surf,walking around looking for boys.Basically doing everything that can be done with boys,without actually talking to any of them.Those were the days.This song is the musical equivalent of the perfume 'Sunshine' by Revlon,which isn't sold here anymore,but if I smell anything remotely similar,brings back all the vacations from like 8th grade through to 12th grade.

Good times.

PS.this song is trés corny,but actually makes me want to be a happy girl.Weird.

My 3 Favorite People (except for my mother)

In bed together (lol).JC looks like he's in a totally different picture,all sideways

The cutest couple (even though F is sporting the doofiest looking hairstyle,ever
Like I said,my 3 favorite people in the world!

I've talked about my best friend,L,before,and today I'm really,really missing her.We haven't seen each other in almost 7 months,and the strain is starting to show.I love that girl so much,it breaks my heart not seeing her as often as I want.

Even though I wasn't very fond of my school years,she was always there for me,and it was so cool to be able to just nip around the corner to each others' houses,and spend all afternoon just talking and hanging out.I really miss that.

Also,she and I now share a deeper bond,after both losing our fathers in 2007.Her father died in a car accident,and mine had a heart attack.It's really strange that us being so close,should go through very much the same heartache so closely timed together.

I can remember being so devistated for her when her father died,and she was actually with me when I heard that my father had died,so that meant a lot to me.

But enough sad stuff,or I'll burst out in tears...again.

She and her boyfriend started dating at the beginning of 1999,when we were in 10th grade.He is only a year older than us,but at the time,I hated him,and seriously couldn't see what she thought was so hot stuff about him.But luckily,through the years,he and I have become really great friends,and I absolutely love hanging out with him,because he is always full of action,and the life of the party.

When my boyfriend and I started dating,things between us four were a little awkward,to say the least.Let me explain.My boyfriend was my best friends' first boyfriend.She dumped him for her current boyfriend.My boyfriend had been really hurt by that,but now that we were together,I worked really hard to let them all get along,seeing as what happened is ancient business,and besides,I knew that my boyfriend,and my best friends' man,would get along like a house on fire,if they actually went to the trouble to get to know each other.

And I was right.As usual.They are now great buddies,that get up to all kinds of mischief when we get together.Their birthdays are even only 2 days apart.

Anyway,what I really am saying,is that these 2 people are my bestest friends in the whole wide world,as well as the coolest couple I know.They both are just so effortlessly good at everything they do.It is always inspiring.

I love you guys!
