thank god for good friends

this was us a couple of weeks ago-

i still have swollen lymphnodes.

my grandma is still in the hospital and should be going back to the rehabilitation center today.

in these past few months, having solidified who my real friends are

and always were has been the only constant.

friday was a day from hell:

no good tidings from the hospital about my grandmother...

running to pick up one nephew...

then the other...

food shopping...

cooking...

i thought that i wouldn't be up for hanging out with the girls

because of the exhaustion.

i am so so so so glad i did hang out with them- we had so much fun.

wine and our hostess' picnic-style buffet (did i spell that right?)

i quite obviously didn't take pictures-

we had way too much fun

and i can't wait to do it again...

so thank you to my friends

(and family)

for a wonderful night

(and all the other times, too <3 )

and thank you to LML

and puppy

for a wonderful weekend

despite me still popping antibiotics...

you make happy

the sometimes crazy me

to all my bloggie loves,

for your reassuring e-mails and comments

and little notes...

wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for you...

you make me dream big...

thanks

<3

love me,

the globetrotting gamine
