Lunch with the Bunch

Today I went to lunch with a few of my friends. It never ceases to amaze me first of all, that we are friends and second, the topics we end up discussing in a public place. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love my friends. Each of them for different reasons and that is what makes our friendship so amazing to me. We are a bunch of such totally different personalities who somehow became friends. We have some extroverts, some introverts, but luckily no perverts. You would never have guessed that if you had been sitting at the table next to us at Cafe Rio today though. A few key phrases you might have heard were "Speaking of Marijuana..." Um, I didn't know we were. "Did you hear she married a ... guy?" Is that so unusual? "When I took my son in for his mammogram..." What?? "I spent several hours this weekend at the ASU library looking up pornography." Uh, huh. "Last weeks topic was swingers..." Topic, where? Let me just say that one of these friends is a graduate student majoring in Marriage and Family Therapy and she did most of the introduction of discussion topics. It was interesting, to say the least. We also discussed a lot of "normal" subjects that hopefully better reflected that we are just a group of middle-aged Mormon mothers trying to do the best we can with what we've got. That's what binds us together and see, I fit right in. Thanks for the opportunity to hang out with you today friends. I enjoyed it!

Today I am thankful for

My Friends - even those who couldn't come to lunch because of their important responsibilities.
A husband that bought cat food so I didn't have to.
