I’m tired. Wiped out. Whipped. I can’t for the life of me figure out why. This has been a short work week for me – VERY short…as in 3 days. (Love that part!) And while I’d love nothing better than to be able to go home, curl up with a good book, some soft music, and some of the most delicious tea known to man, I can’t. As a friend of mine says, I’m about to embark on a “world tour”. That’s what he calls it when I’m zipping up and down the highway to different events & family gatherings.

This afternoon, I’m heading for NOVA. Today’s festivities? The “graduation” of Princess So Fabulous from elementary school. You know, this is her “first” graduation which surprises me a little since “graduation” seems to be big in almost every school system in the state. At any rate, you know I’m gonna be front and center for the festivities. Last year, the Princess was selected to attend this math/science thingy in DC. This year, she was selected to attend an art thingy. Both events were a week-long. She didn’t go to either one. On our next “girls night out”, me and the little lady are gonna have a little heart-to-heart about that cause I really want her to make the best of each and every opportunity that comes her way. Even if it means she has to be away from her parents for a week. And ya’ll know that li’l chick ain’t EVEN trying to be away from her daddy.

So, I’ll be there with Princess, Pnut & Pumpkin for a few hours. Then I have to head back to my Mom’s. I’m taking D and his mom to North Carolina tomorrow so he can get registered for classes, etc. Another all-day affair. He had the nerve to grumble and say, “I hope it doesn’t last all day.” Hmph! If he doesn’t watch himself, I’ll sign him up for summer classes and leave him there! We’ll head back to my mom’s around 5pm I guess.

On Saturday, FavCus#1 is hosting a mini-family reunion so I want to get back in time to hang out with some family I haven’t seen in years and others that I don’t know at all.

At some point, I have to finish the “talk” that I’m set to deliver next Tuesday about living your dream. My girlfriend sends me an email yesterday saying, “Oh, by the way…there’s going to be media coverage.” So now, I’m even MORE nervous. Send your good vibes my way please. Thank you.

Whether I make it back in time for the reunion or not, I’m coming home Saturday. I wanna wake up in my own bed for the first time in a couple of weeks. Pad around my house Sunday, sipping tea, listening to music before another friend of mine drops by on the way to Philly.

While family/friends have claimed my last three weekends, I’m hoping (and praying) that the next weekend is mine…all mine. PLEASE let it be so. LOL Now all I need…is a hideout and I’m set. I’m gonna work on that. In the meantime, you enjoy your weekend!

Living Life like it’s Golden,
