I've got a million things swirling around in my head, and have been tossing things around to post about for the past few days. But now that I'm finally sitting in front of a computer with time to compose, its all gone out of my head. I'm hoping that a slow(er) weekend at home in PA with my farmily (yes, I meant to type that) will help a little. Or at least give me fodder to post about, lol. I've been so incredibly busy this week that even making a decision hurts. I was meeting people for lunch today, and I asked them what time they wanted to meet and gave them 3 options. Instead of naming a time, I get "Well what time do you want to go?" I literally thought my head was going to explode from the strain of it all. Its been a ridiculously busy week, especially with my allergy issues. I'm hoping that although I now have a second job, things will be a little calmer next week. Just a smidge, that's all.

And I promise to nap during the morning commute on the metro ;)

Warning: The following is a bit of a schmaltz-fest...

I was planning on composing a blog about men, and likening them to real estate, (like that's never been done before) and talking about how women tend to settle for fixer-uppers instead of waiting for the perfect one, and yadda yadda yadda. It was pretty awesome... I was composing it in my head all day, just waiting to tear it up on my computer keyboard. I'm sure it will crop up in the next few days, but right now, I need to honor my girls.

I am truly blessed. I have the best friends a girl could ask for. Seriously. In the past 48 hours, I have been reminded in so many ways just how lucky I am, and how incredible my friends are. Let me give you a few examples...

My friend let me buy Guitar Hero 3 for her Wii and has acquiesced to let me come over frequently and play for hours. HOURS. Because apparently Rock Band with my other friends every 2 weeks just isn't enough. :) And she not only lets me play but she sits there and cheers me on! Oh yeah, she rocks!

My college roommate, who I'm fairly convinced is my soul mate, asked me to be her Valentine because you can rely on friends, but not necessarily men. :) We also blew my bedtime out of the water yet again and talked on the phone for 3 hours (we're so good at that!) And I get to see her in 42 days... :D

My best friend/little sister sent me the cutest little Valentine gift in the mail, which she put together herself and was completely original (she even made the card) which made me smile. A lot. :)

There are so many reasons why my friends rock, but one reason that really blew me out of the water happened today. I'm supposed to be meeting some friends for lunch tomorrow. Two of the girls I worked with at my last job - we'll call them B and G, and one of the girls I went to grad school with - V. V recently moved to the area and began a pretty rockin' job. Well, V hasn't yet had the opportunity to meet my friends in person, which was why she was going to come to lunch. Well, I sent around an e-mail this morning to finalize the details, and everyone was reply-all-ing to carry on the conversation. Well, V lives close to G, and unbeknownst to me, G e-mailed V and offered to give her a ride so she wouldn't have to ride the metro. And V accepted. These two girls have never met each other yet, but have e-mailed and are planning on ridesharing. I'm the common factor. I know this sounds crazy, but it just blows my mind (in the best way possible) that my friends are so open, outgoing and friendly. It made me feel so good to see it all coming together. It was the most insane but euphoric feeling.

I spent the rest of the day in an amazing mood because I'm having lunch with a bunch of my girls tomorrow and because they all get along so well - even when they haven't yet had the opportunity to meet in person! Such a good feeling...
