Things I have done in the last three weeks that have made me extremely happy:
Had my first grandchild and fell instantly in love.
Attended a birthday party for an 11-year old-girl where there were many adults and 6 tween girls. I am convinced 11 is the new 16 and Justin Bieber is the hottest thing ever. Made me happy I'm no longer raising young girls.
Had dinner with a college friend of my daughter's who was in town from Chicago and was able to catch up on what is going on in my daughter's life, cause she doesn't tell me everything.
Helped throw a party for my friend Aussie Girl and her family who are visiting her from Australia. We served California food - barbecued chicken, beans, tortillas, rice, salads, chips and guacamole. Somehow I think we're amateurs when it comes to barbecues, compared to Australians.
Went to a friend's house for dinner and was able to see her sister and her 2-year-old niece visiting from Colorado. Got to see the bloody nose little Aliza got from jumping on the trampoline with her 2-year-old male cousin. Oh my.
Went to a cookout at my friends house at the beach on President's Day. If it's a holiday, they throw a party. It's so nice to have friends like this.
Met some old (long time) friends for dinner and finally saw the movie, The Fighter, which I thought I would hate, but really liked. Had to close my eyes during the boxing scenes cause I am like that.
Made dinner tonight with friends and had the best Veal Marsala ever. The best part about it was that I didn't have to pay for the veal. I did the salad.
Not everything was related to food or partys.
Was able to take lots of pictures of my new granddaughter. She even opened her eyes for some of them.
Received a call from a friend I haven't talked to in ages. I will call you back soon Judy, I promise.
Helped an 11-year-old boy do a project for school that involved making a book report look like a box of cereal. He hated it, I loved it. Now a days you have to be smart and artistic. I nailed the artistic part.
Heard the they are going to announce the arrival date of the new Ipad next week.
Governor Walker got PUNKED!!!!
