All together now, group hug on "3"

You've missed me haven't you? It's okay, be honest. I make your day. I've been a little busy the last few days. This past weekend my best friend from high school came out to visit. Ms. Shari Gross. There are very few people in life that you can go months without seeing, you run into them one day and feel like no time passed at all. Shari is one of those people. We had a great time talking about what HUGE losers we were in high school- don't be fooled by the amazing, beautiful, fabulous woman you see here, once upon a time I was "less than cool". Yes, even me. (yes, that was sarcasm. I am still "less than cool" -difference being that now I don't care.) We got to hang out and talk about who we hope "got fat" after high school and how the boys that shot us down (think "public humiliation") back then have definitely "Traded Down" because they missed out on us. Haha, just kidding. (sort of). I don't plan on bringing anyone on a Rikki Lake "look at me now" special where I walk in to a disco rythm dressed like the coordinator for the Red Light district and try to make some guy see the errors of his ways back in high school. Honestly, how did they ever talk someone into doing that in the first place?
Today is officially the end of 4 months that Rob has been in Iraq. (I say "officially" because I haven't seen him in almost 5 months, but the first two weeks didn't count.) 2.5 more months until he's home!
