"We're going to Kentucky, we're going to the fair to see a Senorita with Flowers in her hair..."

Well, Richard and I leave for Miami tomorrow and we are completely psyched for our trip. It will be so great to spend a few days together just him and me. We will miss the kids like crazy and I know by the 2nd day he'll be whining and calling him every hour wanting to talk with Ethan. I am very excited to spend some quality time with Richard. IT will be a long drive to Miami but as long as I have to drive the bare minimum, we'll be fine. (I hate to drive.)

Shanna, Katie and I met at Applebees friday for some much needed drinking and girl talk and waiter harrassing which was not a very big deal since Katie used to work there and knows everybody. Lauren came over last night to watch 'Mamma Mia' even though I had no desire to see such a movie, getting to spend time with her like everything is cool again was great.

Stephanie, a dear friend from middleschol is engaged. She is about the nicest person I've ever met. She never talks badly about anyone. She's appreciative and smart and beautiful and a real catch! I'm really happy for her and Josh and it's really hard to believe that she'll be walking down that isle. I hope her life is always as happy as this week as been for her. No one deserves it more.

I haven't heard from Misty, but I hope she's doing well. I don't know if I should call her grandmothers or her moms. She just moved and I don't think she has a phone yet so I'm in limbo waiting. I hope she and her girls had an awesome Christmas.

I have some new years resolutions I want to take care of. First and foremost, I have got to stop drinking soda. It's so bad for you so I'm making a commitment. There are a few more private things that I'll keep to myself. I want to excersize more. I want to be a better wife and mother but that's an every day struggle.

I need to stop and get some Asti for Peter and Mary and a Thank You for letting us stay overnight in Atlanta en route to Miami - Just a reminder for myself.

Okay that's all. Off we go!
