TGIF Friends! It is once again a wonderful winter day that feels like Spring. No joke here people. 40 Degrees in January? What is going on?! Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. The salt rings on pants and shoes will be coming soon enough, but for right now, I will take the no socks weather. This week has been a blur with Charming Friend Days to pass the time. Thank you, Friends, for making this week all the better. You have helped me become Defender of Catan (In your face! Wait a minute, I am supposed to be the good sport here. ….Better luck next time?), because of you, my following doubled, you have helped me on my way to become THE James Bond guru (You know who you are!), have danced with me in an empty bar (with your crazy hair and all), and have made my home that much better with all of your company. Life is grand when you have Grand friends (You go Grandfriend!) I will miss you all and come back again soon.
To top it off, tomorrow I will be able to cross the first thing off on my 30/30 list. Which number am I going to cross off? Stayed tuned. J
As I mentioned, today is Friday so it is another List Day brought to you for your enjoyment. These are things that make you go hmmm (Some call this list Food for Thought). Some of them are valid questions that I would like to know the answer to. Others can be explained but still give you something to think about. You should always be questioning your surroundings anyway, so here's a chance for you to articulate those questions. By the way, if you have the answers, please let me know. I am always in the mood for some enlightening.
