Come on weekend....

oh man this week doesn't seem to want to end!  Yesterday we dropped our van off at the shop because of some mysterious noises and lack of headlights and as Ernie was inside giving them the keys I attempted to get out of the passenger side despite the strap of my bag being hooked around my feet.  I went flat down on my hands and knees in the parking lot and skinned my knee like crazy.  I better be nice to the boys next time that happens to them because it hurt like hell.  That pretty much set the tone of the day.  HOWEVER....after work we had my dear friend Gisela over for dinner.  Nothing makes me happier.  I'm heartbroken that she's going back to Puerto Rico soon but I know we'll stay in touch despite that.  Once she defends her dissertation I'm giving her a P.A.R.T.Y!!!

Here is Owen with his beloved Gisela. As Gisela always says, if only she were six, or Owen were in his early 30's----it would be a match made in heaven....

I had thought of taking everybody out to lunch today with my mother but it turns out Leo has a lemonade stand planned.  Can't get in the way of business so I'll we'll have to put it off til later in the weekend.

Glad it's Friday....I REALLY need a weekend.  Well, I need a good weekend----we all know how our weekend expectations sometimes are all out of sync with the reality.....wish me luck....
