In case I hadn't rubbed it in enough yet, I'm in Southern California for the next several days. I have to be here for work and I accidentally (I use that term lightly) booked my tickets for the wrong dates so I have to stay here an extra several days. Whoops! How ever will I manage? All next week will be work related and stressful but this weekend and next weekend are going to be filled with time with good friends.
This weekend I am staying with one of my best friends and her husband. I can hear the ocean from my window! Last night we were having a conversation about how nice it is to spend time with old friends. She has good friends here now and I have some fabulous friends in Chicago but there's something different about being with an old friend. Someone that really knows you and who you are completely comfortable with. I was looking forward to being here for the weekend because I know that it will be ok to just do nothing at all. We went out for dinner last night and then sat and watched football and chatted and that was perfectly ok. That's what I love about coming to California. For me it is filled with time with old friends. I love my new friends, but I miss the company of my old friends. So, here's to cherishing every moment of my time here. And, for those newer friends in Chicago, I'll try not to talk too much about how it's 70+ degrees and sunny here and I've been wearing flip flops and t-shirts.

There really is nothing like old friends. ENJOY!!
That's okay, flip flops hurt my feet, anyway. And in February when I'm in Hawaii, I'll try not to rub it in.
Whoops, I just assumed when you said "newer Chicago friends" that I was included. How presumptuous of me!
