Re: best thing about your week
Well, it's been a tough week.
This sounds horrible, but I almost want to say the funeral. I feel like it's brought the survivors closer together.
We spent 3.5 hours at the funeral/luncheon, then went over to her parent's house for another 2 hours for dinner (they invited close friends and family.) It was nice to spend so much time with the people we love, even though we were mourning our loss.
I have a 3 way tie:
- dinner out with some of my favorite friends
- I sewed pants. They were going to be for Henry but were HUGE on him. Willa now has a new pair of pants that fit her perfectly.
- we decided to get away for a few days. We're going on a family retreat from schedules and meetings and homework. Traverse City bound.
That is funny. When are you going. I just heard on the radio of some event that was going on that would be perfect for your family and thought, hey I wonder if MrGRSP has a work event there that weekend. But now I can't remember what it was or when. Sorry!
To honor a loved one who has passed and to cherish loved ones still alive is a very special thing. I am sorry again that this happened, but how good that you are able to see something positive.
Hoektastic, well said. Mol, your friend's death is horrible. Spending time with other people who treasured her and being brought closer is wonderful.
GVSU, that IS funny. Were there baby farm animals at the event?
I got a chance to spend some time with a group of friends that I don't see nearly enough of. It was a fun time.
Also, for the first time ever, I successfully did a shoulder stand in my yoga class. Shoulder stands have always been a stuggle for me, but I finally did it! I'm still a little giddy about that.
Actually...I think that may have been it.
Nice work!
Jealous!
For me it was getting away with grownups one night this week and talking our chef into making us lunch and popcorn today.
Taking DS to get his hair cut. He's such a stitch, the stylist had to take several breaks b/c she was laughing so hard. He doesn't even *mean* to be funny all the time, but his cute mug and grown-up vocab make just about everything hilarious.
Plus, I love the way his sweet round face looks when he's all trimmed and fresh. He's awesome.
