On a lighter note...
A group of girlfriends and I recently decided to start a "dinner club" where we would get together once a week for dinner at someone's house, taking turns hosting (and cooking). And when the idea originated, I thought it would be a great way to make sure I saw these girls on a regular basis. Sort of scheduled "girl time".
But when it rolled around last night, I was overwhelmed at work and thinking, "how am I going to find time for this every week?" Not wanting to bail last minute though, I rushed to Natalie's house, albeit a few minutes late... We ate. We drank. We talked. We laughed. We laughed some more.
And I was reminded of two things:
1. How important it is to MAKE time for friends, especially when life's other obligations seem overwhelming.
2. How wonderful girlfriends are.
I'm working on about 4 hours sleep today, but I feel as fresh as can be... all because of a home cooked meal and a few hours spent with the girls. Can't wait until next week.
