Here we are, starting another week, and what a gorgeous day it was!!  And it’s a pretty nice evening too…have you seen the moon?  I shut the windows tonight ’cause it got a little chilly, but it was nice to have a spring weekend.  Now I’m sitting here with my pups, getting ready for bed, and trying to get my mind thinking about something else other than the disturbing “Medium” episode we just watched.  :)  I know, I do it to myself with all these crime shows I watch.  Maybe I need to give myself a little “Golden Girls” therapy, whatdoyathink?

Aunt Bitsy got here Saturday, and we’re all having a wonderful time.  Unfortunately, my mom’s under the weather, so she’s not able to enjoy Aunt Bitsy’s visit as much as she usually does, but I know she loves having her here.  I guess that’s one of the best things about close friendships…it’s like having another family member in the house, so you don’t feel like you have to entertain all the time.  Having Aunt Bitsy is easy and fun for my mom (and for all of us!) because she falls so easily into our family rhythm.  She came down to help out when each of us were born, so she was family from the beginning.  And she was part of my mom’s family many years before my parents even met!  I know I’ve written about it before, but they’ve known each other since they were 18, I believe, when they were in nurse’s training together.  It’s so much fun to watch a friendship that is so effortless and true.  I hope everyone can experience a friendship like they have.

I have a bit of a headache right now, so I’m going to rest and read a little before falling asleep.  I know looking at computers never helps cure headaches!  I attached a few photos from the last several days, so I hope you enjoy them!

Also, before I forget, guess what was on Oprah the day after my last post….the Snuggie!!!!  hahahahaha  What are the chances, huh?  Anyway, apparently the creator of the Snuggie is making lots of money, but more interesting to me, there is a Snuggie pub crawl craze making it’s way around the country!!!  Check this out:  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-talk-snuggiefeb14,0,2462007.story Now that would be hilarious and also fun, I’m sure.  I doubt the docs will OK it though.  :)  Maybe next year!  It’s pretty funny to read that the Snuggie has acquired a “cult-like” status!!

OK, I’m off to bed.  And if any of you have Snuggies, don’t be offended!  I’m sure I would enjoy mine if I had one….especially for that pub crawl. 

Love,

Julie
