Caffeine = Laughter

I had a very busy weekend. Friday I baked a sugar free cake from scratch for Sunny's surprise birthday party, then I went to a basketball game with my dad. We had the most amazing time. We didn't even watch the game, just drank beer, ate and talked about life; our dreams, our goals, our fears, the things that make us happy. We talked about how much we both miss my mom and how glad we are that she'll be here for a visit next week. It was a really great night. It made me so happy, but so sad at the same time because I know I only have a limited time to have these times with my dad before he moves to NM with mom. I'm going to miss them so badly. The three of us became so close these past 5 years. Living in a new state together and starting over together, just the 3 of us, created this amazing bond that can never be broken.

Yesterday I got my nails done, bought Sunny's b-day gift, made the frosting and decorated the cake, then drove the hour and a half to the party. I felt pretty out of place with all of her family, especially since Hubby didn't accompany me (he's sick).

Today Penny and I met up at Starbucks and talked for about an hour and a half, most of the time laughing hysterically. Then we went to Wal-mart together and continued laughing until our sides hurt. After I got home I did a bunch of grading and watched football with Hubby. I'm so tired and ready for bed, but definitely not ready to get up at 5 AM and go to work tomorrow. To stay motivated I'm keeping the fact that in 2 weeks I have the whole week of Thanksgiving off in the front of my mind. Time for bed and some surely insane dreams.
