Over the weekend I had a party for a neighbor and his family at my place. We were all gathered around the pool when it started to lightly rain. I had been wearing my sunglasses and since I no longer needed them I placed them on the table. At some point they wound up missing. I'm not blaming anyone since it could have been my fault, but they are no where to be found and there was a lot of people.
I loved these sunglasses. They were my favorites and I have had them for five years. They were Lulu Guinness Killer Heels sunglasses. I cannot find another pair anywhere online. I have a trip to Washington DC this weekend and I cannot stand being in the sun without a pair of sunglasses. I ordered a new pair of sunglasses online with overnight delivery but they will not be shipped for 3-4 days. This isn't going to work for me. Ugh! I'm going to have to find a cheap pair to make it through the weekend. This is not what I wanted.
Goodbye sunglasses! I will miss you!
I've been threatening to start a new blog for months now to share the crazy things my friends and I come up with along with some of my daily struggles and WTF moments. Some days I wonder if I am normal since I come up with some insane thoughts and idea. The awesome part of my life is that my friends are just as mad as I am. After all, we are friends - at least most days.
So who am I? I'm 35 years old and I've been divorced for three years. I've been dating and it has been fun, but I'm in a bit of a lull at the moment and I've decided to focus on me while spending good times with friends. I've also just restarted my career in a move that took me from a telecommunications company to a software company. This change alone wasn't challenging enough so I decided to add weight loss in as a crazy filler for my life.
As I navigate this career change and attempt to become healthy, my friends have been with me every step of the way. Sometimes they are a blessing and sometimes they are... well... I am just amazed that we haven't been sent to a mental institute or kicked out of our favorite bar.
Let me give you an example:
Picture me in the driver's seat of my car with Chris in the passenger seat as we are heading to a new brewery to sample some great beers and even better gourmet pizza. I mention a friend of mine was listening to an audio-book of Lincoln's biography. As I continued driving she ponders, "I wonder how the book ends. With a bang? Or maybe its just incoherent mumbling for a few pages before it goes blank?"
Really? Really Chris? The book was not an AUTOBIOGRAPHY! I gave her the wtf look and just continued driving.
The next day I get this picture.
Yup. These are my friends. I love them.
