Friday

Well folks, it's finally Friday. That means it's time to jump and up and down and do the funky dance. Woo!

I'm sitting at work, here in the Chantilly office, in my office, and no one is bothering me. It's music to my ears. I've got all my work done. A few things keep popping up in my inbox on this beautiful, non-attention spanned day, but I cannot seem to get my mind off of getting out of here.

As I said, Isaac's off to drill Saturday and Sunday and I'm headed to an all-day retreat with Mom and the sisters tomorrow. Pretty busy weekends we've been having lately, I'll say.

Has anyone ever been to Okra's? I'd like to go there one day soon as the weather gets nicer and sit out on the patio with a glass of riesling and listen to the live music. I'm ready for nice weather and the breeze and the pool and the beach.

The summer of 2010 is fast approaching. What in the world happened to the past decade? I thought just yesterday I was graduating high school, let alone, college. Now, I have all these bills and responsibilities of a grown up--and being grown up is for the birds! I'm just saying...
