What Would You Say? Time For The Virtual Girls Night Out!

You've reached the Friday night blog party where all you need to make this party complete is a beverage of your choice (cocktail recipe below for inspiration) and your fuzzy slippers! This Virtual Girls Night Out is dedicated to a dear pal that I met through blogging. She's going through major stress from her teenage daughter. This mom needs a break! (And caffeine ;->) Ms. Martha, this party's for you!

Time For Support!

Alright ladies, or maybe there are gentlemen who partake in the Virtual GNO, I don't know. People? Should I say 'people'? How about parents?

Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School.

K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting? Do your crunches and planks now! 7 years from now it's going to get ugly !'
