False starts

I am so lame...can' t I figure out how to blog? I used to be good at this stuff.

Okay, now I think I finally figured it out. This may well be another false start, but I really hope not. At right is my sweet (blurry) baby.

I had such a nice afternoon! Actually, this whole week has been packed-full (by me) of all kinds of "girl time." As in, friends who are women, actual, real friends, who I can talk to and hang out with and have lunch with and everything. I forget how much that women just rock. I had a giddy late-night (8 p.m.!!!!) coffee and chocolate with some moms, then saw a friend from sem yesterday which is like, lifeblood, and then today my new good mama friend brought her daughter over to shriek and play and laugh a LOT with my daughter. Hilarious in only the way that little girlies can be, and so good to just sit and watch and talk.

It's like a big sigh of relief week after this winter/spring of depression and sickness. I'm sure this has TONS to do with the fact that I'm running again, really regularly. I do need to run, I think, every other day, or it starts to get to me. Not that I always get to go every other day but once it gets in my blood again I gotta do it or else I get all twitchy and yell and stuff.

So, although I'm sure this has been said in about a million ways since the beginning of time, since even the cavewomen probably had some grunting way to express girltalk, I am so grateful for the company of women.

Please, please, let this blogging stick! I need it too.
