Best Weekends: Jan. 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st & 22nd!!!

Today is January 24th, while I cannot believe it is already the 24th-I can say that the last two weekends of my life have been some of the best weekends of my life!

Here's the rundown:

Saturday, Jan. 14th-my mom and I went and had our pedicures-I think I wrote about that in this blog-check the archives, I don't remember! LOL! We went to dinner at Yummi Sushi Grill (not so tasty to me, but hey, whatever) and then on Sunday the 15th-we went to Wal-Mart and somewhere else. Anyhow, it was a lovely day with just mom and I!!!

Sunday, Jan 15th-I went to lunch with my good friend, JoJo (Chili's-so yummy!) and then went to another friend's house and had really great conversation and watched my Sunday Night Show (Desperate Housewive's & Grey's Anatomy)! Now, granted, I usually watch those with my mom-but it was great to watch them in someone else's living room and laugh with my friend! Very FUN & relaxing!!!

This weekend:

Friday Evening, Jan. 20th-JoJo & I went to see Memoirs of A Geisha and while I didn't quite understand the whole thing (never read the book-although I hear it's great) it was a very moving and touching movie. We both cried...before the movie, JJ and I went to our favorite restraunt Macaroni Grill-we share a passion for Italian Food and basically all things Italian-except Italian men, they're very sexy and all and I hear they're great in bed, but they're also lazier than hell and I can't have that-sorry guys! LOL! Anyway, after that I came home and meditated for about an hour and a half which was just awesome! Really, that's MY high, and MY drug of choice!

Saturday, Jan 21st-I got to sleep in until 11am-I cannot remember the last time I slept that late-it was glorious! I went downstairs to get the mail and had a lovely chat with Kelly, my apartment complex manager-she's such a lovely lady-I live in a really nice place! Then I watched mom mop the kitchen and bathrooms (I had cleaned the house for her on Thurs. the 19th-yay me) and so all she had to do was mop-pretty cool hunh! Anyway, then I meditated while mom ran some errands and then GRANMDA ELIZABETH & HENRY came into town. They are traveling with their brand new and very nice R.V. and we met them for dinner! It was great to see them and although they were very tired-they came over after dinner and we all had a wonderful time! They both loved our apartment and said it looked very nice and homey and comfy-that's very cool b/c their house is just as great! Then they went home and mom and I rented some movies-none of which we've watched yet, but the point is-we got 'em!

Sunday, Jan. 22nd-I got to sleep in AGAIN this time until about 10am and then showered (I looked SO pretty that day), meditated (again, love that) and grandma and Henry came back over. I had a good friend of mine bring over her new baby so that my grandma could meet them-then the baby, grandma and I went to Target (Tar-ge') while my mom and Henry stayed here and watched Football (by the way, the Broncos lost-they're my mom's favorite team and when it comes to football, she's worse than a guy-lol-seriously!) and chatted. Grandma came home with me (she bought me some blush and a new dark purple t-shirt even though I TRIED to give her money for them-gotta love those grama's-no matter how old we get, they'll always spoil us grandkids rotten-thanks grama!) and the baby left. Then mom and I went to Trader Joe's, made a junk food run and went back over to Grandma & Henry's RV for dinner. Okay, grama kinda messed up on that b/c I AM a vegetarian, which she kind of forgot (i.e. no dressing for the salad-about a 1/2c. of green beans for 4 people), but hey, the company couldn't have been better! Henry & mom played cribbage while grandma and I talked about spiritual stuff and planned our finances for Italy next year! It was absolutely wonderful-so great to see them-always is. Those two, along with my mom, make my life so rich and full and worth living-I just adore my family! Okay, okay, we're dysfunctional too, but hey, at least we know it-can admit it and don't run from it! LOL! Anyhow, after that, my mom and I made the LONG drive across town back home and watched Sunday Night TV-very funny and entertaining! After that, I crashed into bed fully satisfied with an incredible blessed weekend! Praise the Lord and thank you for the beautiful family and even better memories! :)

All in all, they were some of the best times of my life and weekends I'll always remember and treasure! Thanks to mom, grandma & Henry for making them happen, and thank you to God for keeping my family here, for me, around me and near me-safe, sound, healthy & happy!!!

Gram & Henry are in Texas tonight visiting one his daughter's-I hope they all have even half as much fun as I did this weekend-I love you guys! :)

Many Blessings to Everyone!

In Light & Love,

P.S. On a sidenote I started college again yesterday, I'm taking English 102 and English 261 which is a Poetry class which is so incredibly cool and exciting I can't even tell y'all! Yay, it feels weird, nervewracking and wonderful to be back in school-I do better anyway-push through it Sarah, you'll make it! To all those out there who just started college again-congratulations and best of luck-we can do it!!!!
