Excitement!

It’s been a rather exciting day for a Thursday.

First of all, Grey’s Anatomy is new tonight and I’m probably way more excited about that than I should be. It’s basically my favorite show, well, my favorite that is currently airing because of course there is My So-Called Life and Twin Peaks and the original Degrassi’s—and sometimes the new Degrassi is a favorite currently airing show contender. Catching up on it has been my substitute for Grey’s as of late. And Rock of Love is another fave. Is anyone else mildly disappointed that Bret found love? I kind of wanted him to have another season. Oh and I really still think he belongs with Heather. But before I get totally off topic...

Adding to Thursday excitement is finding out that Mike Ness will be playing a show in Denver when I am out there visiting Eryn. Eryn is game for going and is getting us tickets this weekend. Yay! I love me some Mike.

And my biggest excitement of all is that in less than 24 hours I will be in Florida!!! Yay! My good friend Amber is getting married in Naples this weekend and is throwing a weekend long bash that starts tomorrow with a casino-themed shower, then a luau-themed rehearsal dinner on Saturday, and then a beach wedding on Sunday. (Her mom is a wedding planner and called in a bunch of favors, plus it’s a small wedding, hence being so elaborate.) The hotel is fancy, too, but we got our room pretty cheap. I fly out tomorrow morning with my friend Katie and we meet our friend Anna and her boyfriend there. They are coming from LA. Katie and I got close with Amber and Anna when we did our semester in LA in 2005 and it has been that long since we have all been together! Amber recently moved back to Chicago, but it’s been ages since I’ve seen Anna. So good friends and a weekend long party, who could ask for more! And there will be radio silence from me because I am *not* bringing my laptop. That’s right, no temptation to work at all, and I need it! Just fun and relaxation with my girls. EEEEEEK, I can’t wait!

Here we are on the beach in Malibu in 2005, Katie, me (back when I was blond, yikes), Anna and Amber the bride to be. YAY!

Okay, time to calm down and start packing. It’s okay that I’m bringing a pair of shoes for each evening plus flip-flops for the beach, right? I so don’t usually pack that way!
