So while I was in the ATL, I got to visit some of my favorite places. Harry’s Farmer’s Market, IKEA, Cheesecake Factory, the movies, thrift stores, REI, La Madeleine, a salon for pedicures and massages, and evenings with friends chatting and catching up on news and old times. (I got my first REAL professional massage, the one at UCMT didn’t count back in college 
and while the other girls were finishing up their pedicures, we watched a guy propose to his girlfriend there in the salon, while she was getting her nails done. HA!)
My sweet and beautiful friend Meg let me stay at her house on Sunday night and drove me to the airport. She makes me laugh and I am happy just to be around her. She and her husband are raising three handsome young gentlemen and I am very impressed with how they are turning out. It’s amazing, with how much time we spent through the entire time I lived in GA, that we didn’t have any serious arguments, because we are really like sisters. People often asked if we were. I love her!
My darling and sarcastic friend Shauna let me stay with her for the first bit of the trip. Actually, she just assumed I would, and I just assumed I would too. I did eventually confirm. She and her husband AJ were willing to stay up all night playing monopoly with me every night, and AJ sacrificed his whole birthday for us to go have a girls’ day. What a guy. We bought him treats as restitution. Their three girls are darling. When I first met Shauna I didn’t know what to think of her. I was shocked that she was even more sarcastic than myself. Then I decided that she was someone who would be a better friend than an enemy, and then I couldn’t help loving her. She’s a riot.
My gorgeous Wendytart. I love her so much! She is always honest and so supportive. It was wonderful to spend time and see some of her latest projects, and hope some of that creativity will jump over to my brain cells by association. Her two kiddos are adorable also. I laugh so much with these girls. We had such a great time remembering the first time we all met – and when I first met her, I knew I’d found a great friend.
So many others I could write about – Jana, Libby, Tonia, Stephanie, Joan, Amy, Staci, Molly, Tonya, Kristi, Dawn, Ida, Susan, Patty, and all my other friends… and all their darling kids. Sigh. It was great to see (almost) everyone.
