looking ahead

Im super excited to go to Bend this weekend. My sister and her hubby and their 4 kiddos are in Bend. My niece is turning 7 on the 27th so we are headed down there for her birthday. Im excited to spend time with her and the other kids. Since they live 6 and a half hours away, I dont get to see them very often. Especially now with school, I use my weekends to catch up on school work. But I think getting out of town for a few days will be a much needed break. I was also looking ahead at some assignments for school and noticed I have an exam for Anthropology 311 that I have to do by the 26th. Ummm... I have no idea what to study for this thing! I was just thinking about reviewing the chapter we read and hoping for the best LOL. I also got a great phone call today. One of my best friends called me. It was great to hear her voice and just laugh and not talk about my drama mamma life. She lives in Menifee California and I have not seen her in almost 2 years. Her husband is in the Marines so she is there not by choice. Talking to her made me feel a lot better. She asked me what was going on in my life, I told her the gist of it and she just listened. She didnt judge me or tell me to suck it up. Sometimes I miss high school just because of my friends. There was 5 of us that were together all the time. I just miss hanging out with them all the time. We all said our kids would grow up best friends like us but that isnt going to happen. Tosha is in California, Katie is in North Carolina, Krystin is in Virginia and Michelle is in Moscow Id. But I do have to say thank goodness for Facebook because we chat and can talk all 5 of us back in forth. They are trying to convince me to get skype now. haha I probably will end up getting it although Im not very up on the technology wagon. All in all it was a much better day. I fell like my bed is finally calling my name though.
