Time	Event
3:55p	YAY FRIDAY! I'm leaving work a little early, probably in about twenty minutes or so, that way I have enough time to primp a little bit before we go out. I'm really excited...we're actually going out for happy hour, which means we'll save money for once, and a whole bunch of my friends are coming out, including my friend who recently moved to San Diego, ironically enough. I love it when I get to hang out with my friends. I know it's weird of me to diffrentiate, but whatever. It's Friday, and I totally intend to enjoy myself. I changed the meal plan up a bit: Bfast: berries and yogurt=70 Lunch: Didn't go home bc I wanted to leave early, so I had a salad=250 Dinner: Veg burger=170 I'm going light beer only instead of vodka and club so that I don't get too wasted, plus, it's only 100 cals a drink as well. I have to look HOT, and I have no idea what to wear..... Current Mood: happy Current Music: Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the UK (2 thoughts | share your thoughts)

4:07p	On Love, in reply to Marnie's earlier post... I did totally scam this from some forward, but I thought it was sweet. Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers ! they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: ****************************************** "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's Love" Rebecca- age 8 ************************************** "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 ************************************** "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5 ************************************* "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6 ************************************* "Love is what makes you! smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4 *********************************** "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure it's not to hot. Danny - age 7 ********************************* "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) ******************************* "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet) ********************************************* "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7 ******************************** "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scar! ed anymore." Cindy - age 8 *************************** "My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6 ******************************* "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5 ******************************* "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7 ******************************* "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4 *************************** "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4 ******************************** "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6 ******************************* "You really shouldn't! say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8 ****************************** And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry" Current Mood: optimistic Current Music: Gimme the Car, Violent Femmes (2 thoughts | share your thoughts)
