It's almost noon and I'm still sitting here in my PJ's and I'm quite content about it, too. :) It's cold outside. Right now weatherchannel.com reports that it is 18 degrees with the wind chill factor. I want SO much to go outside and take photos of the birds that are enjoying my new feeder, but a) it's freezing, and b) it's very gray and ugly outside.Last night the rain came down in buckets. It sounded so wonderful. I was really hoping that it would rain today because I planned on staying in to do some reading and cleaning on Brooke's room. I started raking the last of the fall leaves up the other day and I didn't finish. Now, since it's not raining, I feel guilty for not being out there to finish that up.
We're having a barbecue this weekend at my friend Dawnia's house and I simply can't wait. I told hubby the other night as we were leaving Tim & Jen's house that I wasn't finished. I wasn't finished having fun and talking and laughing and BEING. Of course, he always looks at me like I'm a nutter when I say stuff like that, but that's ok. I have so much fun just listening and watching them all interact.
It was only a couple of years ago that we really started hanging out with other people and I had forgotten how good it felt to be with people--so many people at one time. Obviously we've both had our share of friends as individuals, but not friends that we both spent time with together. It has sure made a difference in our lives and I love that. :)
AND we'll get to see the birthday boy, Max, and give him his presents. He turned one on Monday and can we believe it? No, we cannot! Here's a pic of him and D that I just love to pieces:
Adorable, the both of them. :) It's also my pal Tammy's birthday and I didn't know until I read her blog. She should announce such things! Anyone can tell you that I'm not ashamed to let people know several months in advance that mine is coming up (it's March 20th, by the way). ;)Happy Birthday, Tams! Love you lots. :)

Look at that nugget! He is just precious.
Geez Rachel, when you gonna learn airbrushing and get shut of some of my chins (grin). I know, I know.... some have left on their own... just two or three more to go.
I too can't wait! And Trav gets to come and I'm excited about that too, excited for you to meet him. I really hope you and M like him, I really do. He is important to me and well.. I might let him be more important. Nervous about you meeting him. He's super sweet, kind and sane. I think you'll like this one. He likes me, he really does. And I him. Z said he scared him last night... he was in the computer room and Trav came through in just my Grateful Dead PJ bottoms and Zack thought he was a bear. He is a hairy little thing (did I mention he is shorter than me? It is so strange. Kinda weirded me out at first but now, I don't even notice unless we are standing in front of the mirror in our pjs and bare feet brushing our teeth. He's so stinkin cute!) Do I sound giddy? I kinda am. I kinda am. Nauseous too.
Oh I'm excited. And did you see what Tams said on my blog comments? She's gonna come. Hooray! And Z and his girlfriend might be here. Char too. Maybe even Donna and Glynne. I gotta feel better so I can clean up some... nah, scratch that. Ya'll are frig friends. I don't gotta clean for you :).
Let's do a potluck though... I'm not gonna have time to go get much grub. Everybody bring a critter to cook and a side or something. Oh, the fun!
Think I'll get Max some books for his bday...Any must haves from the mommy machine?
I'm a jabberbox today. I just read that again, about you and M just starting to hang out with friends last few years. You guys were our best "couple" friends. The absolute best. I miss that, I miss us. Wasn't it wonderful? I'm sorry about a lot of things, sad about a lot too, but really sorry that ended. Best "couple" friends can make couples stronger, as you told me once having us did for ya'll. You guys are sincere, good hearted and most of all not shallow. I'm glad I've still got you, even if one of us is missing (and missed by all).
Love love love that picture of Dawnia with the baby boy! Cannot wait until this weekend! I felt the same way on Friday, sad to see you guys go, looking forward to getting together again this weekend. It is so great to have frig friends! love you!
It'll be a fethtival!
I'm not even sure what a fethtival is but I think we managed it. Maybe?
