Good morning! It is 4:26 am on a Saturday morning. Of course, I haven't gone to bed so it's still Friday for me. Please keep that in mind while reading. I will probably say "tonight" and "yesterday" and they won't seem to correspond with the time that's stamped on this entry...

So yesterday was the most uneventful day I've had in a while!! That's the reason I didn't update the blog. I didn't want to waste time writing, "Nothing happened today worth writing about." Today I had a great day. It's Spring Break so Mouth, LJ, and I decided we'd hang out--buy cookie dough, rent movies and order pizza. Mouth ended up having to do something with her family, so I slept until 2 PMish. Woke up and decided I'd hang out with Ry and Geoff today. We had the best time!!! Laughter is definitely the best medicine. Ryan by himself is a geniusly witty and humorous kid, but paired w/ Geoff, you'll need an oxygen tank! We got together around 7ish and I didn't break away from them until about midnight.

I gave into my craving for a Whataburger (Texas folks know what it's about) chocolate chip cookie. I made a quick stop there and was once again on my way home. When I got to the light in font of our corner 7-11 I decided to throw away the "evidence" otherwise my sister would've gotten on me for not bring her one. As I was reversing, Licious was pulling in. I thought I was seeing things, because she doesn't live anywhere close to my area. Then she and Erica popped out. Erica is Ryan's girlfriend. We laughed and hugged hello. Lici went in for her cancer sticks and when she came out we all started jabbering like we ladies do. We decided to just come on down to my house and hang out. We had the best time. We caught up on what's what in our lives. Seems like Lici has made another conquest. She's a trip, for real! Gotta Love HER!!!!!! So I guess the point of all this writing is to say I love some of the people I've met here in Florida. I love that I have friends who also happen to be a couple, and can hang out with each separately. Most couples can't handle the other partner's friends. They usually just tolerate them, but not these two. I met Ryan when he came to work at the theater with us. He got with Erica and she just fell into place. I know I talk about those closest to me and her name is never mentioned. Mainly because I've only known her for about 8 months and we rarely hang out. I tolerate Mouth's boyfriend most of the time. On occasion he's actually kind of cool, then he does or says something negative to Mouth and I slip into "detest" mode. *How do you like that Steel? Borrowed your word* Then there's LJ and JD. I guess the point I am trying to make, is that there is never an awkward feeling when I hang out with Ryan and Erica and other people. But sometimes there's awkwardness when I get together with other of my coupled friends even in a group setting.

I'm just really pleased at the way my mother raised me. That's what I learned today. That I truly enjoy being me, even when I'm having a down in the dirt day. I hung out with my guy friends today. Did "guy" things and then I was able to spontaneously switch gears and hang out with the "girls" and jump into girl talk. We're all so different too. We have an early 80's punkish chick, a straight-laced one, "Gretchen Wilson", the naive one, the disillusioned one, skater boys, the jock, the brain, and everyone in between. I'd say I have a nicely mixed group of friends...Night..er..Morning...Afternoon (in Afghanistan).
