The weekend was beautiful here in Texas with a high in the upper 70s. Saturday was uneventful and man am I happy about that. I slept in. Showered and made a quick trip to Wal-Mart. Played outside with the girls. Went to Sonic and indulged in a HUGE cherry limeade with extra limes. Gave myself a pedicure. Read out on the front porch, while leaning up against a pillar. I love Spring.
Now onto the week and the end of March. Crazy how time flies. Friday at 4am, I'll be on my way to Florida. Hoping the beautiful weather will follow me there. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll get a tan (tint).

Kansas Countdown
In one week I will be heading North to Kansas. I will be spending an entire week there visiting friends, family, and probably having a few encounters with mere acquaintances. I hope to get a few things taken care of while there. I desparately need to play the 88 black and whites. I have had a melody in my head for far too long and need to play it out and add to it. The two octave keyboard dating back to the early 90s just isn't cutting it. The room also doesn't have quite the atmosphere either. I'm used to my mom hanging out in her office, listening to every note and sometimes if I'm lucky she'll come and add a few of her own here and there.
I also need to see my best friend Taylor. We have a lot to catch up on and a lot of planning to do. Blessed with the honor of standing by her side on the most important day of her life, I will also be blessed with planning a bachelorette party, helping with a bridal shower, calming nerves, relieving tension and stress, and drumroll please............................writing AND DELIVERING a speech in front of all of their guests. Yes, the girl with anxiety will be giving a speech. I am one great procrastinator, but in this case, I think it would be best to start well, two months ago. I have already started thinking of ideas, contemplating funny or heartfelt...or both? Not to mention, length, topics, and how much truth I can share without embarassing the bride and groom terribly to a point they will no longer speak to me.
I will also be making a trip with the mama out to Western Kansas for my nephew's birthday party. There, I hope to be able to see all three of my brothers, and their families since my vacation time is limited. I'll need to go see my beautiful Bella Dog at some point. I feel like a bad mama for abandoning her, but I hear she's got a pretty great home. I miss her like crazy.
I also miss the mama. I miss hanging out with her. I miss having someone around that knows me and gets me. She knows me better than anyone. Maybe she doesn't know all of my "secrets" or mistakes or events in my life, but as a person, she knows me. I'm weird, goofy, and sometimes just off the wall strange. Most people don't know that about me, but she does. So...can't wait to see her!
Kansas Countdown: 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
