Catching Up Is Hard To Do…..

Thought I’d catch you up on my whirlwind week..

First off my gift exchange night with the gals went great…

I always enjoy getting together with these three amigos..but a night involving Dinner… Drinks and gifts only ups the fun and frolic.

Dinner was great.. the drinks drink went down smooth.. and as usual one or more of us ended up saying something ridiculously funny resulting in laughter and snorting..

( OK.. I admit..I did the snorting) but I can’t help it.. once something strikes me funny..it’s no holds barred.

Thank You ladies for my lovely thoughtful gifts.

Thank You for an absolutely great evening, and most important of all Thank You for your friendship… It means more to me than I can express.DSC_0727

Ok… enough of the sappy stuff..

NEXT….

ONE WICKED NIGHT !!!

That’s what we had…

After our dinner at Sweet Lorraine’s we were off to the Detroit Opera House..

The Show was GREAT !!DSCN5911

I have to give it to whoever thought up this plot..

I mean a prequel of how the witches become who they are as well as filling in the blanks on the back story of the Scarecrow,Tin man and Cowardly Lion… THEN….putting it all to music is frankly genius!

I had forgotten how truly beautiful the Opera House is.

As I sat in my seat and looked all around me… I couldn’t help but wonder at what this place was like back in the 1920’s during it’s heyday.

I swear sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.. but then I remember how much I love the internetz.. and I say yeah.. I’m fine right where I am.

Again… another spectacular evening out !with yet another set of 3 wonderful women…DSCN5910They are some of the most important chicks in my life…

A girl could get used to this..

It was a great night.

We all got home pretty late.. and all had to get up pretty early.. but in my book.. it was SOOO worth it.

Thank You Maria for organizing this shindig….and…Thank You Nancy and Lina for helping make the memories that night.

Lastly I leave you with a cute picture I took with my little purse size Nikon. ( gosh I love that thing) if for nothing else having it handy to capture things like this..DSCN5906

It’s not a particularly great picture.. and doesn’t have any deep meaning…I don’t know why?… but it just makes me happy.

Maybe it’s because it looks like a giant group of friends.. all just hanging out.
Lord knows.. I like that..

So….Hope you’re week/ weekend was filled with happiness… fun and friends.

Now..Get out there and make some memories.

I'm back :)

Thank the Lord I have a computer again...I feel like I lost a limb when the computers crashed :)

I, too, enjoyed our dinner/gift exchange. It is always good therapy to laugh and enjoy friendship. My butterfly has a special place on the tree and I thank you because you know how much it meant!

Thanks for sharing the pics of our dinner and your Wicked night. Wicked was amazing and I will sing right along with you....but I will be the one "out of tune".
