So my last thread has locked time for a new one. Thanks ADINVA for the last post on the previous thread - hope all is going well for you!

So I am sure I will lose at least 200 man points for this current thread title, but "Love Actually" is one of my favorite movies. I tend to relate with Colin Firth's character Jaime for a variety of reasons and it represents where I feel I am right now in my life - in a good way!

So the bar is open and I'm feeling generous with the pours! Happy Friday everyone!

BA,

Do you have a sofa somewhere where I can plonk my ass on?! wink

I LOVE Colin Firth. He's probably one of my favorite all time actors. Good choice! If you lose your "man card", know that you'll always be a rock star in the girls camp.

I'm sitting here with my coffee and avoiding my chores. At least for a few more minutes. I don't have anything exciting to add to the conversation.

D17 is with her dad and I'm trying to finish up some projects so I can start more. crazy Plus I still have some cleaning and laundering to do. I already talked myself out of mowing the lawn, because it's too hot. So I've penciled that in for Monday after work. It's blissfully quiet in my house. I totally love these weekends now. I love my kids, don't get me wrong, but I simply love having my own schedule and nobody to interrupt my quiet ways. Plus, I get to sit in my living room and admire my lovely hardwood floors. I'm in love with them. And something just tells me I'm not going to want to sell this place in a year or two either. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, though. Right now, I'm just enjoying how my living space is slowly but surely becoming what I love. I'm not sure I ever felt that way. Or if I did, it's been a really long time.

Life is good.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Betsey

Ashley loves that movie. I do too but it's her "go to" movie.

I just got home from mini camp in Nova Scotia. Great experience. Some pics on FB. Fab weather - best ever then caught an early flight home to enjoy our gorgeous colours.

Got the last weekends of Autumn booked out while away. And ex texted me about seeing Ryan but offered up 2 dates & one was the requested weekday so I agreed to that.

Josh's grad school reunion was so nice. They opened a brand new building and the dinner was so special since it was the 25th.

Only have 2 weeks at home til I leave for Florida. Lots to do but feeling good.

I will have Baileys please

Ok everyone's drinks are ready - first round is on me! grin

Not too much to really report on in my life. Although I was thoroughly surprised on Friday night when I got home. Walked into my living room and there was D17 home from college on a surprise visit!!! She purchased a bus ticket to come up and a train ticket to go back home on Sunday, so I was over the moon and shocked to see her. While I know she was glad to see me, I suspect the main purpose of her visit was to see her boyfriend wink - but hey that's fine with me, I got to spend quite a bit of the weekend with her and she REALLY appreciated the two home cooked barbecued meals I made for her!

Next week my mother comes up to visit me for a couple of weeks. I have a lot planned for the time she will be here. We're going out to Columbus Ohio to visit my Son the first weekend. GF is accompanying us and D16 is going to do most of the driving so that she can get her 45 hours of driving time finished up and receive her license. The second weekend we are going to travel to Richmond to see D17 and let her give my mom a tour of the VCU campus. I also have a behind the scenes White House tour arranged through a friend of my who works there. Mom has always wanted to see the White House so this will really be a nice treat for her.

Well - I guess I had more to write than I thought. Oh I almost forgot, I have a ticket to the first NLDS game on Friday when our Nationals take on either the SF Giants or Pittsburgh Pirates.

BA, I made that same surprise when I was in college. Uh, how was the bus trip????? I have some pretty vivid memories of them, 35+ years later. grin

Sounds like a great trip to Ohio! Hope you have a blast.

Oh, and I'll be rooting for you come Friday. I'm personally wanting to see the Giants lose. But that's just me, the sore loser in NL West speaking. I'm sick of them. And no, when I lived there I hated them then. I was an A's fan. But then again, I was happy to see KC win last night, even if it kept me up really late. Thank goodness for the Broncos. And hockey starts next week.

It's October already! Where has this year gone?

BTW, D20's team moved up in rankings to #12... and they didn't even play last weekend! She has a match this afternoon, though, and a tournament all weekend. The finals are in Newport News the weekend before Thanksgiving. Although I'm staying home for the holiday this year, I'm trying to figure out how to travel back to VA since I'm making 2 trips to NY this month. Too bad my checkbook isn't overflowing with cash...

Anyhoo, glad to hear your updates!

Hugs-Bets

I've been a Giants fan (football and baseball) since I was a kid...but I also like the Pirates so my solution is to go to Bible Study tonight and not watch the game!
