finally. i quick recap of the annual girls weekend. it was a great time (we missed you deann and jen) up in the cities. the only time we weren't all laughing was when the cop pulled shelly over for illegal passing. ok...there might have been some giggling in the backseat when it happened but don't tell her. otherwise, we did a little retail therapy, spent some time at the oh-so-heavenly day spa and hit a couple of great restaurants. check out all those toes...karen, fifty bucks says you can guess which ones are mine.

we figured out this was our 15th official weekend together. those first weekends starting with us fresh out of college and got pretty crazy...i bet the cab driver in madison, wisconsin still remembers smashing 10 of us into his car after they ushered us out of the bar. i love these women like sisters, even though we are scattered all over the place and don't have a chance to keep in touch as much as we'd like. we joke about the day when we are 85 years old, hanging out in florida playing shuffleboard and drinking margaritas. i can see it happening. i really can.
