The Women

---

I had an AMAZING weekend and after a long Monday, am wishing I could go back and do it all over again. Today seemed particularly stressful with the whole Wall Street drama and Mondays in general just aren't my favorite...but the weekend was perfect and exactly what I needed.

CJ was out of town with his Grandpa Georgia, Dad, and Uncle. The four of them went to the WildHorse Casino for some golfing and gambling. CJ says they had a great time and really enjoyed themselves...look for a post this week about their trip.

I had Friday off and had a great time relaxing and hanging out at the mall. I cleaned our very dirty bug and just had a perfect "me" day. It is not very often that I get to have a whole day to myself, so it was perfect.

During the evening, I went over to Jexamae's for a jewlery party, some yummy taco salad, and some excellent company. Jess is the sweetest friend ever and I was so happy to get to spend some relaxing girl time with her and her pals Friday night. Although I didn't buy any jewlery, I did enjoy trying some on and realized I probably need to "accessorize" more...just can't spend about $40 per jewlery piece when I buy clearance stuff at Target for $3. (I'm a cheapo)

On Saturday I slept in, relaxed some more, and then went to lunch at Goodwood BBQ with my Mom and little sister Becca. This was the first time just the three of us have ever gone out and it was fabulous. When my sister was a toddler (I was about 15), I used to dream of the three of us hanging out and enjoying each other's company when she got older. Now she is 17 and it seems it is finally time to have "girl time" with just the three of us. We all have the same sort of sense of humor and at one time during lunch, we were laughing so hard that the other Goodwood patrons were glaring at us. It was great!

After a great lunch, we caught a chick flick. And I can't tell you exactly why, but the entire afternoon was so relaxing for me. Well, that is it for now. Excuse the rambling and run on statements...it is about 11:30pm, way past my bedtime, I'm exhausted and must get some rest.
