So its way passed my bedtime but I totally just had the best night ever and NEED to lj about it!
There are few things more inspiring than going to dinner with your best friend and a teacher/friend who i admire very much but is dying of cancer. Like holy shit. Rebecca was amazing. Talk about living your life to the fullest. I never knew there were 8 different types of penguins living in Antarctica. Suz, I liked the King ones the best too. :) Her vitality and her attitude and her sense of self are all things that I should strive for in my everyday life. As Tim McGraw named his new album "live as if you were dying". word. I love her. I love being about to joke about death and tease her that all the kemo killed one too many brain cells and she is turning blonde :) and just joking and having fun. Not being so damn serious about everything. I loved hearing about her kids Sharon and Daren and how she dealt with him being gay and how hot he sounds and how lame sharon is and EVERYTHING. It was just so great. And am I sad that it might be teh last time i see her? Yes. but i am so much better for having known her and for going to dinner and for just being happy together. She is incredible. Unfortunately she will not be able to attend the wedding in august b/c of a six month cruise excursion to alaska and who knows where else she is going! I mean... this woman is making appts in hospitals of various cities to get her infusions so that she can still travel and not sit at home thinking about dying. i love her!
And did I mention I love Suz? i way love just sitting with you. just eating with you. just having fun. not doing anything, but whatever sounds cool at the time. Even if that is spending 25 minutes trying to figure out how to defrost Rebecca's new green jaguar. :) (ya... her husband gave it to her for christmas b/c she jokingly mentioned she wanted one b/c she couldnt think of anything else she wanted) Hahah... :) woot for turning the engine on. :) you are so damn smart!
and other SUPER HUGE NEWS... WILL IS GOING TO MARRY US! Not only did he say yes, but I could hear him jumping up and down and see him smiling from ear to ear. He was so happy and so honored and so excited! To quote him "Now I wont be able to go to bed, because I'm so excited and I wont be able to stop thinking about it and planning the ceremony!" :) Who does that? HE DOES. He is so happy! :) I am so happy! He thanked ME a billion times. Shouldnt I be thanking him? :) WOOOOOOOOT!
Oh and slight happy sidenote... before bringing up the whole wedding thing to Will, we were talking about jobs and me coming back to Cali and such and he went on and on about how wonderful I am and how I would be great in politics and washington needs more logical intelligent women with strong convictions... he was like "so... ya i've basically planned your future for you... but i hope you dont mind!" I told him I wanted to be a judge and he replied "only if you are in the supreme court... i wont settle for less" I LOVE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE LIKE THIS. Talk about support and faith and INSPIRATION! :) I feel so damn great about me! (ps i wore my hot blue outfit tonight!) I ROCK. I love that.
go me.
