Fell off the blogging wagon -- but I am back baby! Friendship and Small Joys

 Been exhausted from two weeks of travel. It was all good -- other then the almost dying from a broken wheel. See post about wheel bearings.

I have not been keeping up with my Small Joys -- doing them or blogging about them. Time for another break. Clearly it is not meant to be a daily thing. *adjusting rules of game I made for myself*

Today, I had lunch with Barbara. She asked me to lunch, which made my heart sing. I always fret that friends don't actually like me. Which is silly after 15 years, and she calls me her best friend. But anxiety does that.

So we had lunch at 1:00, and then sat there until nearly 4. We had SO much catching up to do. We had gone to Orlando together, but didn't really chat at length. Caught up on the kids, and disappointments, and achievements. And holiday anxiety. And planning a birthday surprise for a friend.

I had mentioned hosting an Open House at the holidays. Or maybe I didn't. Maybe she mentioned doing an Open House, and then I said I am too. I forget if she already knew this. So of course, we decided to combine! And now i am so excited. I am going to make stuffed figs, and cookies, and a peppermint cake, and a soup, and the Japanese sweet potatoes I mentioned here recently.

We also cemented some plans for Vegas, and bought tickets to a Cirque show. We are going to have so much fun.
