Leaping Into A Fabulous Friday!

Good morning blogger friends! It is Friday and we are ready for the weekend!

This morning we are excited to have a playdate with our friend K and her mom L. Previously, these playdates usually end up with someone crying - but we are hoping for a better day today. They are coming to our house this time, we have rearranged our playroom and K has not yet seen our beloved Charlie - so we are hoping for big oohs and ahhs from our friends.

On another note, since I was twelve, and my grandmother introduced me to the Guiding Light, I have spent practically every afternoon 3-4 PM checking on the antics of the residents of Springfield, USA. Today is a banner day for the longest running soap on television - they are changing their format and I am on high excitement mode just anticipating! I know, I am a soap opera nerd!

Actually, my secret dream as a teenager was to go to New York and become a writer on the soap and truthfully, when I have time to daydream now, that is where I find myself - except in the forty year old's daydream, I have already retired from a successful, emmy winning soap opera writing career, married a former soap star, and live in a converted 18th century barn in Connecticut or somewhere cool like that, with our four yellow labs and of course with my beautiful daughter Hannah. I would also be finished with a novel and preparing to travel this Spring on a worldwide book tour! Go ahead -- laugh - I am laughing at myself too!

edited at 10:00 AM to add -- I just saw this quote -- "It is never too late to be what you might have been!" George Elliott -- so do you think there is a chance for me to be a soap writer????? Hee Hee!

So - we have a playdate, Guiding Light is up to something new and then later... Hannah and I will ride to my parent's house to check their mail and paper - whew - what a day to look forward to - glad Feb. 29th on comes once every four years!! :-)

Here's hoping your Friday shapes up just as well as ours promises to be!
