I have been looking forward to a "date" with Kathy for a few weeks now. It's hard for us to organize some time together for a few reasons, with one of the main ones being that she has 4 BOYS (5 including husband) at home to take care of! I don't know how she pulls it off, but she does and does it gracefully :)
Anyway - we finally got together after work today and it was really nice to catch up and see her. We met at the mall and started off by getting something to eat. I had gotten there earlier (and did some shopping - the sales this week are DANGEROUS!), and was spying Panda Express before she arrived. It really isn't that great of a place, but once in a while it's nice to have some horrible-for-you Orange Chicken. Well, let me tell you. Panda Express is now off of my list for good. It really should have been a long time ago anyway, but today's experience totally put me over the edge. Wanna guess what happened? For the second time in one week (almost)? I got my Orange Chicken, Beef w/Broccoli and Fried Rice combo and made it back to the table...only to look down and see a PEANUT smack dab on the top of my food. I swear, either someone is playing some kind of cruel joke on me or I need to get a reality check. Luckily tonight I did not ingest any peanut and instead took the plate right back to Panda for a refund. And got pizza instead. Please save me from the day that people put peanuts on their pizza. I swear I will just dig myself a hole and crawl in it. I don't know what/where I can eat anymore.
After the peanut fiasco, Kathy and I got to catch up. She had brought 6-month old twins Benjamin (Amie nickname: The Silent Smiler) and Timothy (Amie nickname: The Droolmonster) with her and they were just so sweet. They have gotten so big! We also did some shopping (this time, for baby clothes) before she had to leave to pick up one of the boys from church.
It is nights like these (and girls night last Friday, and dinner with Kelley last Thursday, and lunch with Tara yesterday) that I feel so grateful for the friends I have and the time I have with them! I used to hate Arizona because I didn't have any friends here, and now I can't imagine what my life was like before I met my girls! xoxoxox!
