Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

Through the years we all will be together, as the fates allow...
If you're young and unattached and crave even the smallest bit of adventure the holidays are a time for mini vacations and trips with your girlfriends. Out of my 5 bestest and closest friends only 2 of us live in the same state which means that we spend a lot of time on skype and frequently jet set around the country to spend time together.
This past weekend I flew down to DC to spend a few days with a couple of my college girlfriends. Had an amazing time. Celebrated Christmas, went out, shopped quite a lot, cooked, ate, drank, explored, gossiped, lounged, loved every minute. Its funny how as your get older your friends become your family. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I promised my 3 year old neice that I would read her a Jolly Christmas Postman and someone is getting quite impatient so I'm off.
48 more hours until I set off on a long and snowy road trip to spend a few days at home with my real family for Christmas, much packing to do. Yikes!

Song of the day

Today is a good day to listin to "Girl from the North Country".
It always reminds me of this time of the year, Sung best by Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.


Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.


Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.


I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.


So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.


In other very unexciting news I'm headed into work today for an afternoon of meetings and interviewing candidates for a position we have opening. I don't beleive that only 3 1/2 years ago I was sitting across a table being interviewed by someone with the same position that I am trying to fill today. My how the tables have turned. After I'm heading to happy hour with some colleuges anbd girlfriends that will likely turn into a 5-hour-happy-hour. No complaints.
