Fun Day

Today ended up being a really fun day. I gave blood this morning (not so fun, but I know it will save a life, so it's rewarding). Kristin and I had lunch with a friend from church, which was great because I haven't seen this friend in awhile. I dropped the kids off with my mother-in-law and came home and worked for a little while. Put out a plea on Facebook about wanting to meet someone for supper tonight and was invited to join some other church friends at a local Mexican restaurant. So, I crashed their supper; they had actually already finished eating by the time I got there, but were courteous enough to invite me anyway. While we were sitting there talking, another family from church came in. We talked to them for a few minutes and then the first family I was with had to leave, so I sat down with the second family while they ate. And listened to their 9-year-old daughter talk. And talk. And talk some more. She kept me very entertained with stories of their pets and other things. She went through so many subjects that I can't remember what all she talked about. She talked about. Not *we* talked about. She talked. It really was a great evening. I laughed and was entertained. And need to do that again. And have Clayton there. At the time, he was on his way to Charlotte to visit his best friend from Argentina who is there on business until tomorrow. He'll be back at some point in the future and I'll get to meet him then, I guess.

All in all, it's been a really good day. I didn't get started working until after I left the kids with my mother-in-law, but have made it over halfway through now, and this is after having spent 2 hours out at supper. Going to try to work some more on it while waiting for Clayton to get home.
