A Great Weekend

Sorry this one's so late....

Ever have one of those weekends where things are just going great? Where fun and amazing things just keep happening? I'm so lucky...I had one of those weekends!

It started out simply enough: I went to Target on Thursday to get stuff for the cookout I was having on Saturday. I went and got most everything I needed. Well, I couldn't find the rice milk--which I am becoming obsessed with!!--but I realized once I was in the car that I didn't look in the right aisle. Anyways, I'm in the check out line and the person doing the checkout couldn't have been more than 16 or 17. As she's ringing up my purchases I asked to apply for the Target card. I really made her day apparently. She kept saying how she had asked everyone who had come through her line if they wanted to apply and they were all rude when they said no...and then I came up and actually *asked her* if I could apply for one! She even did a little happy dance!! I smiled just because of how happy she was.

Then on Saturday I had some friends over for a small cookout. We made burgers and dogs and chicken and fish and sauteed peppers... I made pasta salad; some friends brought over salads and punch. We grilled everything outside, played music on the speakers. We just chilled, ate, played bags, and--when the weather cold down some--we lit a fire in the firepit and just relaxed. It was one of the most chill nights hanging out with friends ever and I realized how lucky I am.

Ever have that? Just a great moment? Simple pleasures with people who are good to you? Those are the best moments. Honestly.
