Life's full of surprises

I had dinner last night with a friend I hadn't seen in about 6 months. Finally! It was lots of fun. (I haven't been seeing enough of my girlfriends lately, due to a new, rather pleasant distraction in my life . . . ) My friend took me to a little cafe near her house. I can't remember the name, but the food was excellent. The conversation was good, too, which always helps. After dinner, we watched a youtube music video called "Still Ru." It's on the Golden Domes site (see side bar), but it's full of Ru in-jokes that would be completely lost in translation, so I didn't try, but I felt a little bad for laughing so hard at stuff my friend wouldn't get. She said she enjoyed seeing three white boys rapping . . .

On my way home, I made spur-of-the-moment plans with another friend She is flying in today, just for the afternoon. She's a flight attendant, so she can do stuff like that. ;)

Unexpected phone calls "just to say hi" are nice. Last minute phone messages trying to reschedule a cancelled appointment are slightly frustrating. I need a 24 hour notice clause in my contract . . .

New to this

Rather new at this whole blogging thing, but enjoying reading others' blogs prompted me to try it for myself.

This is just a "starter" post. I really ought to get home and cook lunch so I can have time to do some studying before going out in the evening . . .

More later.
