Sunny with the high in the mid-80s praising God

I'm so excited about retreat. you literally have no idea. A weekend with my best friends in a city that's meant to chill in (well metaphorically). Palm Springs is like my third home...San Diego, Hawaii, Palm Springs. I'm so excited that it's going to be warm b/c we NEVER go places where its warm and so it will be easier to pack. I am also excited that there is a pool in the backyard. Devo time is going to be so different. Give my bathing suit, sunscreen, hat, glasses, towel, a Bible and journal. what could be better? and forget card games and would you rather, I'll be chillin' trying to catch some sweet rays. I am actually serious about the whole laying out thing b/c in the next 3 or 4 months I'll be in Vegas for 3 days, Mexico for 4 days, and Hawaii for 2 weeks!!! This white girl needs a base tan. hehehe. Well one more day of dreaded school and then it's 4 hrs stuck in traffic on the 15 north. God Bless Palm Springs and Mou Rou for setting it up.

Just thinkin'

First things, first- I'm pretty sure ever actor(ess) has been on CSI at one time or another. From my mom's high school bff, to the OC's leading mothers, even the "fashionista" of gh... but that's not what this post is about.

While I was looking something up on imdb I came across the profile of my mom's bff/maid of honor, Susanna Thompson and it made me a little sad. This lady was my mom's bestie through high school, in her wedding, worked at Sears together and now they aren't in contact. My mom always says that she doesn't really have any real "girl friends" and that my sister and I fill the spots. It made me think my high school experiences and my "bffs"... not really any more. I had a huge falling out with one and the other is living across the country. It's not that I'm lonely or friendless, it's just that you share a connection with these girls and *poof* they are gone. My sister was right, college is the place you meet your real friends, and I have, I just get a little nostalgic about the EastLake High Class of '04
