Sun is out, funk is gone...must be Friday!

I think pizza and mojitos helped, too.
In any case...suddenly everything really is unicorn princesses and rainbows, and I'm rolling with it.
Sun is out, it's warming up, I have about 40 beautiful tulips in my garden, and it's Friday!!  The Friday before Mother's Day.  And the sun is out, did I mention that?

Emily will attend her first prom tomorrow night.  I cannot fully wrap my head around this fact.  First, that my youngest baby girl is 15 and therefore old enough to attend a prom.  And the way she looks in the dress?!  Fuggedaboudit!  If her date's jaw doesn't literally hit the floor I'll be disappointed.  Let's just say, much like her older sister, the apples didn't fall far from the tree. :)  She looks beautiful, and I'm happy that her first prom will be with a friend and she should be able to really have fun and not feel any pressure to be anything other than a dance companion! (phew!)

We'll host a biggish crowd on Sunday for Mother's Day and I'm ready.  I'm ready to be grilling slutty cheeseburgers and drinking gin on a sunny deck with my family...some of my dearest friends.  I'm excited to be fully embracing spring this way, to put my hands in soil and plant some flowers and a plant of remembrance for Claudia...for all of us to remember her always.

So yes...what a difference a few days makes.  Sun is the best drug out there...followed by Village Pizza, which honestly cures everything!
