i seriously had to do a ranty post, which really wasn't all that ranty, but editing is hard sometimes!  *laugh*  so now i must head to beddy bye land! 

but first, i did have a pretty good day, full of surprises!  i got to talk to a friend who i hadn't chatted w/ in awhile - found out she hurt herself skydiving, but not as badly as it could have been & thank God she is okay now!!  she said she's not sure if she'll ever get the desire to do it again back.  as much as i don't understand the desire to jump out of a perfectly good plane, she LOVED it, and so i will hope & pray that she gets that back.  or that if she doesn't, that it isn't a regret for her.  ya know?  sometimes it's hard to know what to pray for ppl, when there's no "right" or "wrong" and i guess that is when you just have to pray for God's will to be done!  right?  : ) 

i went grocery shopping after work - my favorite cheesey pouffs were one of the free items at hy vee today.  i picked up milk, ice cream sammichs, vienna sausages... some stuff i don't remember... oh, and postcards!  heh.  i forgot foil and lemons.  i stayed under $20.  woot!  of course, when i got to to the line & he'd rung everything up, that's when i discovered that i'd forgotten to replace my checkbook.  so... i came home & got the new book & headed back.  they very kindly put my cart in the cooler to keep the ice cream & milk good.  sadly, when i got out to my car i discovered they hadn't taken off my $2.50 for the 2 free items!  d'oh!  so i sat in the car for a minute thinking, "is $2.50 really worth going in?"  turns out it is, so i went back in & got my $2.50 (.54, actually).  : ) 

i started to fix a quick dinner when i got home, but then sarah called me back, so we chatted for an hour or so.  had some news to share w/ her for a mutual friend!  also, i had some nice comments on the blog and FB.  thanks, everyone for the comments!!  my post cards from jana arrived.  awesome!!!!  *bounce*  i immediately addressed two of them - one is going to lithuania and one to belgium.  i know they are going to love them as much as i do!  thanks again, jana!!  (i know i've said thank you like 20 times.  i hope it doesn't lose its sincerity. sometimes i feel like our language is so limited it makes me repeat things.  lol  sometimes i think i think too much...)

watched Persons Unknown (which i really really like!) and Army Wives & Drop Dead Diva.  DDD makes me literally laugh out loud more than once an episode, AND tugs at my heartstrings!  excellent writing, directing and acting, every week. 

and that's your carrie recap!  thank you for visiting.  please stop into the menu for part 2 of key west.  *hugs*  and love and see you later!  ta ta for now, blog buddies!
