Friday Five
1.Who in your life has most recently had a baby?
My sister had Eva Marie last August. She's the best thing in the entire world. Yesterday she climbed up my face and stood on my nose, and when I plucked her off and sat her down on my lap she made crazy eyes and drooled on my. It was amazing.
(I have to mention here that my cousin's girlfriend is due in August and my best friend is due in October, and I am SO looking forward to two more of these funny little creatures around. I haven't hung out with babies since my 16-year-old brother was one,so this is a new trend. Here's to growing up.)
2.Who in your life has most recently purchased a car? My best friend. The one with the munchkin on the way. Apparently it's black and 4-door. I don't know that she's ever owned a 4-door before. Warms the heart, don't it?
3.Who in your life has most recently lost a fair amount of weight? My buddy Bonnie. She looks absolutely fantastic. Last week she treated me to a zumba class at the Y. That stuff is hardcore, but clearly it's worth it.
4.Who in your life has most recently gotten a terrific haircut?
Hey guess what? The answer to this one is ME. For the first time since before I moved to New Mexico (and I'm talking a good while before)I actually allowed someone to crop more than the scraggly bits off my hair. It was only about three inches, but that's a big step for me. Plus I let the nice lady put in layers and a face frame. Now I've got puppy ears hanging out of my ponytail like back in high school. I have to admit it looks cute, though, and soon enough I'll be able to stuff those suckers into a hair tie.
5.Who in your life has most recently begun a new job?
As far as I know, that would also be me...but since my job is supremely boring and temporary anyway, I don't wanna talk about it. I will tell you, though, that my friend Sean's tutoring has picked up to the point that he's walkin' around with gobs of money AND getting thank-you letters from grateful parents. He says it hardly feels like work. Guys, I think we should all get on board with this.
