Ahhh, don't you love the smell of pigskin in the morning? Last year, 2 of my friends and I would meet every Sunday to lounge around and whittle away each Sunday in front of the boob tube watching football. What made it extra fun was that they had organized a weekly Pick 'Em Pool so we would get really into cheering on whatever team we had chosen. I mean, football is fun, but football AND gambling? Chills.
What made these Sundays extra special were the talks we would have. We could talk about anything and (what seemed like) everything and time would just fly. Girl talk: ain't nothing better.
This year, it's been harder to get together to watch the games. Today was the first time in a long time we actually did it again and it felt wonderful.
Today, I didn't travel to another country or buy anything expensive. I didn't eat at the finest restaurants and I didn't meet a famous person. Instead, I spent 8 hours watching TV and I dined on chinese food and cookies, and yet, I felt more fulfilled than I have in a while. The time spent chatting and laughing with my girlfriends is time I wouldn't have wanted to spend otherwise...and I can't wait til next time.
MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED
