The Next Best Thing


Since Michelle and I couldn't get together for Creative Friday this week (sob) we made plans to meet up for lunch today. It wasn't the same, but it was the next best thing and definitely better than not getting together at all.


We've also started emailing each other back and forth (as part of the same email) daily as an attempt to stay connected. I think it's a good plan.

**Did you go to lunch with anyone this week?
Did you spy the mountains in the background of our photo?
(We didn't even plan that.)**

Comment Window Tidbit: This week has been ridiculously busy and I'm feeling rather irked about it. I'm hoping that it was just a freaky coincidence and that the following weeks will feel calm by comparison.

i do have lunch with my friends every Friday during the school year. we have been doing that for over 10 years..which started as playgroup and turned into lunch as the kids went to school. it is the best way to stay connected. You and Michelle should try to pick a night to get together or maybe say like the 3 saturday of the month for you do be creative together.

I'm glad that lunch with Michelle can be a part of the "new normal!"

That is a great photo of you and Michelle and I did not notice the mountains at first. That is good you could still get together for lunch. I went to lunch with my sister Stephanie on Monday. We never get together even though she lives in Highland, but we are vowing to do it more. It was surprisingly really fun.

Did you go to Los Hermanos? That is my favorite place to eat.

Those mountains look almost super-imposed! I'm glad that you two are still able to stay connected...

I had lunch with myself this week at Panera Bread (the only restaurant that I think you guys DON'T have out there!) Sometimes I like to just be solo while I'm gorging...(I think this might qualify me as a food addict)

I wondered what your Saturday would entail after working all week- so many errands always to run. I'm SO glad you were able to make time for lunch with Michelle. I love that you are already defining a "new normal" for this stage of your life!

I was picking Stella up from a friend's house, she had watched Stella while I went and volunteered in Evie's classroom. She was reheating the most delicious soup ever and offered me lunch. I said yes, and the adult conversation was quite a cure from taking care of kids with dad out of town!

I love the daily email threads between my mom, my sisters and I. What would we do without the easy threading of Gmails?

So glad you were able to get together.

Mourning the loss of your Creative Friday with you...

Sending sympathy your way!

Even though it's not the same I'm glad you and Michelle are finding ways to stay connected and keep the mojo of Creative Friday going strong--in new ways.

I hope that this week isn't as busy for you and you settle into your working groove without stress!

I'm glad you guys are finding ways to stay in touch and be together even though it's not the same.
