Top 10 Things That Made Me Feel Old This Week

10. Going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 opening weekend. (That in itself would be enough but there’s more.) Getting there an hour early to find the only remaining seats left were in the second row. I spent the whole movie squinting at the screen, checking Hubbie’s watch, trying to find a comfortable position for my back and barely holding in my mouse-sized bladder.

9. Getting up at 7:30 am last SATURDAY to run errands, which included breakfast with the girls, laundry, a trip to David’s Bridal to try on a bridesmaid dress, lunch & a cocktail, a fantastic manicure at a new spa near my house and a trip to the market.

8. Speaking of the market, splurging on a case of Vitamin Water there, (rather than the usual wine and vodka.)

7. Spending $97.00 on anti-aging skin products. Wow, it physically hurts to admit that.

6. Going out to the Troubador Wednesday night to catch a friend’s band.

AT 8:30 p.m!!!

My grandma goes to shows later than that.

5. Calling my new health insurance plan to make sure my heartburn medicine won’t cost me more than the last coverage I had.

4. Planning a picnic and movie night for all my friends. . . . at a cemetery. No, I’m not joking. Check it out here.

3. Laying in bed last night reading a book, screaming out to Hubbie when the phone rang, “WHO HAS THE NERVE TO CALL THIS LATE?????”

It was 9:00 pm.

2. UM, this may be beating a dead horse but, I WAS IN BED ON A THURSDAY NIGHT AT 9:00!

1. Looking forward to the best Friday night ever- cuddling up with Hubbie on the couch and watching a movie.

Friend Abroad

I'm sorry I missed your call today but this post will be in honor of you- and how much I miss you.

I miss our talks over coffee and cigs, margaritas and floatie things in the pool. I miss our talks when you'd make me get the courage to stand up for myself but still hug me when I couldn't. I love that you're my friend through endless tortuous stages of life and yet you never whine. I love that you always have a plan. I love that you laugh at my sarcasm instead of wince. I love that you are with a man who doesn't judge the looney company you keep- (i.e. my mom. =))

Most of all I love that you tell the truth, always, whether it hurts to hear or not. I was lucky to meet you, have a crush on you for a day, and gain one of the best friends I've ever had. Please come home soon.

xoxo
