It's Friday.
It's a half day of school for students.
It's a full day for teachers.
I am finishing up my report cards.
One of my favorite teachers at my school got moved to another school today :(
I don't like it one bit.
Yesterday my mom found out that her best friend died :(  She has been a huge part of our lives forever.  We all loved her so much and the whole thing was just a huge shock to everyone...
I spent all night crying on and off.
It's great to know that she is in a MUCH better place and my mom is so happy that they had spent the whole day together before it happened.
Blah.
This weekend should be a lot of fun though.
Lot's of festive things and getting ready to start my "Thankful 30" project!!
I'm crocheting this weekend.
I'm quilting this weekend.
I'm reading this weekend.
I'm apparently 75 years old :)
I love you.
Tell someone that you love them so much right now!!
deal?

  2. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's best friend. It really makes me think what I would do without mine =(
    On a brighter note, I'm also referred to as an old lady regularly. Crochetting and watching I Love Lucy on Friday nights...LOL

  5. I'm so sorry, Janel. I, too, lost a loved one this year. Things get a little easier as time passes, but I will never forget what he meant to me. I'll be keeping you n my thoughts. <3

    I often refer to myself as an "old lady", as I would rather be at home in my jammies working on my crochet than out with the girls from work drinking and partying. Oh, and I need glasses now. :)
