phew...finally it's friday

My prediction was correct.  This was a long, long, long week.  It had bright moments for sure, and now, look, it's the weekend.  We made it. 

This weekend will include a visit with friends, a haircut, a sleepover with some grandkids, and a birthday party for this really adorable one-year-old.  And skiing.  Definitely skiing.

The weekend will be followed by a quick trip for work to Arizona to meet a new boss, and who can complain about an airplane trip up and out of the smog into a sunlit day, even if it's only for a day to a place that has no ocean? 

Not me.  Seriously.  That wasn't a complaint.  Not at all.
