Let the fun commence....

Okay, maybe a little premature (come on, 5pm), but today is my Friday!
Three day work week + road trip with Stephanie to Nashville = Winning!

Why Nashville, you might ask.
The Script:
In concert,
Again.

You may remember my mentioning them before. And no, I'm not some obsessed The Script fan (I feel like that should read "And no, I'm not some obsessed Script fan", egh)! When Kiera and I went to Chicago to see them, Stephanie couldn't make the trip because it was mid-week. So when they announced their fall US tour and I saw they were coming to Nashville, I thought--what the heck? They put on one heluva good show and who couldn't use a road trip with a life-long friend?

And, despite my dozen (or so) trips to Nashville, I have never had the opportunity to experience its nightlife. When I mentioned this to Stephanie, I was surprised to find that she hasn't either.

Must. Rectify. Immediately.
I don't even know where to begin, so I enlisted the help of my friend Michelle who lives in Nashville. At the risk of coming off as pretentious, Michelle is Conway Twitty's granddaughter. It doesn't get more Nashville-in-the-know than that! I'm sure she'll point us in the right direction.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Vanderbilt is located just outside of Nashville, so, as luck would have it, I will be able to spend a little time with Jana while I'm there. She's still in the process of her transplant and is as well as can be expected, but that qualifying "as can be expected" is a problem. :/ I definitely need to get some face time in with her.

For now...back to the work grind. And watching the clock move ever-so-slowly towards the 5:00 mark.

A watched pot never boils.

Yes, I know.

My thanks aren't limited to Thanksgiving

As is often heard, the best things in life aren't things.

In a little over an hour, I will be celebrating my best friend's birthday.

Right now, for just a moment, I want her to stop the madness that has become her daily routine and embrace how much she is loved and appreciated by her friends (of which she has many).

You're not my best friend now; you're my best friend ever.

Can't wait to celebrate...over martinis and fondue. ;)

Happy Birthday!

Blogging

In general, I'd say I'm pretty technologically savvy.
However, this blogspot has me feeling completely lost.
I felt the same way when I created my FB account, and now I can navigate through it with no problems.
I know it's just going to take some time (which is limited right now) and some patience (which is limited always), and I'll get it under my belt.

Now if I can just help my friends figure out how to "follow" me!
It's late...that'll be a task for another day. :)

Happy Blogging, Y'all!
