Visit (Five Minute Friday)

Welcome to Friday, where we stop for 5 minutes, write with no restrictions, and encourage others to do the same.

Yes, it's Thursday. I was behind. And then I was going to skip this week. And then I remembered the word.

VISIT. And I can't skip that. And then this happened:

Go.

One of my dearest friends just called last week. She's in Seattle. I'm near DC. This is not close. And we don't get to visit (in person) as often as we'd like. But she's a super smart space-loving (as in outer space ... the moon, Mars, etc) gal and she's got a great job - with a boss that is IN DC. So this week she's out here for a business trip. (Sad for her family, but YAY for me!) When she gets out here, she's usually jam packed. We can sometimes squeeze in breakfast. But I'm a single mom and she's leaving hubby and kids behind, so during the week doesn't usually fit for us.

This week, though, she's TOTALLY FREE on Thursday night. (That's TONIGHT!) And so I found a babysitter (hooray for adult babysitters who can drive) and I am meeting up with her for an IN PERSON VISIT. And our other friend is coming along too. And we're making art. As in painting pictures. Hilarious  - did I mention we are all band geeks? So we totally rock the music. And we generally all stink at making art. But tonight we lay that aside for the time of fun and fellowship with girlfriends. So we're laughing and painting and visiting together.

STOP.

PS And I will post a picture tomorrow if it is not too horrendous.
