Today I had a girls lunch with Jade. Talk about a beautiful lady! And YOUNG!
I think the wisdom Jade instills in her posts, had me assuming she was more my age.
But when face to face!!! Yes, I was shocked! (And ya, a little jealous) So young, and fresh, and the prettiest shade of Jade color eyes I have seen in forever! 
She is a fun, witty, intellegent person, which I did learn prior to the face to face!
It was great getting together with her for a lunch we have planned off and on for months now! She is a warm, down to earth, real person, and I just loved her! And look forward to continuing this new phase of our friendship that was started here in the blog world.
Her kids are near my kids age, and I hope to have them over soon for a day of swimming, eating and chatting! Jade, thank you for making the long trek out here! And for not making TOO much fun of me almost hitting the island in the middle of the road, on the way over to my house. 
I am normally spacey anyway. But this going w/o cigs thing, is making things a little more hazy.
While I’m confessing, I also managed to be late to the resturaunt, when I live a mere 5 miles or so from it. Reasoning? I got lost. (I’m serious! I did) And I’m serious when I say I get lost in my backyard. I’m not dumb as a doorknob, just geographically challenged. Oh, and I passed right by the resturaunt as well, then had to turn left at the hugest busiest intersection! Maybe not the hugest, or busiest, but close enough.
Jade on the other hand, had absolutely no problem finding it and getting here!:-) She did great! And I think we both had a good time, sans cigs. too!
I want to thank you Jade http://azjade.com/ for making today a fun, great day! And please thank your beautiful daughter Bean for me as well! She was delightful, and sweet! And I could tell Riley liked having her around, when he did his homework out there while we chatted. First off, Riley did his homework!!! Without being hog tied and beaten for an hour!! That was impressive from my end!
Today is a day, that made me wish I knew how to use my digital camera, that still sits in its box. Today is a day, I wish I knew how to download pics from said digital camera, to the computer. Today is also a day, I wish I knew how to add those pics to posts!
On that note, I may very well be planning many many swim days this summer, so I can milk Jade’s brain for all of her skills and know how! Too much fun! And I look forward to more Jade!
To top off the day, the hubby is bringing home take out for dinner! Not that I’m hungry after all that food at the Red Lobster! But the good part being, I’m not making dinner tonight! Woohoo! Yaaaaa for me! OK, I must calm down, see what a couple of cosmos and some girls gossip time does?
Thanks again Jade!
Close it Up
