Ode to Life...The under-rated, simple definition of us all. If you ever stop to think about it, this is the commonality of all beings from the smallest leaf to the giant elephants. If nothing else, we have that in common - life.

My life continues to be busy. I realize I've failed to disclose the events of last weekend. I attended a bachlorette party for my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Melissa. It was your typical night of drinking through penis straws and applauding the brave boys who dared to suck for a buck. At the end of the night, Christie, Beki and I headed to Amigos, as is the customary drunken craving ritual. I particularly enjoyed our conversation because it included some ex-bashing, which, in its drunken form, is always hilarious and makes a girl feel good about life changing events. As Christie and I compare boy stories of lore, we discovered strange correlations regarding some post-break-up comments we had the pleasure of hearing such as "I'm Hot!" (by Lathen) or "I've got it goin' on!" (by Jason) or "I'm the Man!" (by DJ). If you ask me, there is nothing more disgusting than a grown man speaking those words in seriousness. It makes the break-up seem so right.

So here it is Friday again. I made it through another week, not un-notable, and definitely life-changing and special. I will not go into that now, but instead focus on the next week, where myself and my family will prepare for Luke's April 27 nuptials. I'm excited!
