a good time...

was had today - twice.

met cindi for some *$$ before she headed for the last show at Shwayder. although the visit was only a scant half hour, we crammed in some good conversation and laughs. i sure like that lady...she is SUCH a keeper.

a few hours later, our friends, bob and wanda, came to the house to take us up to arn & helena's gathering in Longmont. we weren't sure about the weather, but we brought camp chairs anyway. good thing because after a quick shower before we left, there was nary a hint of rain afterwards. what luck! the chairs came in good use even if we ended up eating our dinner on the steps of their hot tub ;) i think of the 40-50 people there, only about 20 brought chairs...so they were strapped in getting enough people sat in their backyard...which is SO beautiful. i think they have a 1/4 acre...filled with trees, flowers, shrubs, two grassy knolls, and that 9 person hot tub. i guess they're leaving this little eden for an argentine one.

it's going to be a bit sad without arn & helena. we met them through a network group for anthropologists about ten years ago. and of the original 35 members, i think our core group of four couples have stayed tight knit (mainly because three of the women went to grad school together) and have gatherings at least twice a year. it's just not gonna be the same without those two...on the upside though, it's a great excuse to go to Argentina!!!

should be going to bed soon. our flight leaves at 9:25...and we need to be there probably by 8:30 at the latest. luckily, i've already checked in online and we may just have carry on luggage. so really, we just have to go through the line and pray for no delays. one piece of news that i found a wee bit discouraging though was that our flight (#2905) was cancelled this morning due to maintenance. i'm sure we'll have a different plane but...

i just wanna get there - no hassles. yeah.

now, if i could just figure out what clothes i wanna take...it's supposed to be in the low 90's for the first three days and about 80 degrees the day we leave. i hope i can find some really lightweight pants that still fit my porky ass ;)

see ya!
