Drawing a blank .. no catchy title today!

Last night nine girls got together to welcome a new friend to Canada. The guests mainly went to the same high school together sauf two who are honorary members of our high school. Even though we all went to school together, we rarely see each other and are all at different points in our lives with different priorities. This could have spelled a recipe for disaster ~ instead, it was an evening of great conversation (most of the time there were several conversations underway), lots of laughs, and people genuinely caring about how others are doing and what is keeping them busy these days.

This got me to thinking about how lucky we are ~ who would have thought the friendships we established in high school (in some cases elementary school!) would have developed into something so awesome that even though we don't see each other much ~ when we do get together its like nothing changed.

Not once was there a lull in the conversation, not once was there an awkward silence ~ we even forgot about the cake! I know ~ how could I forget about cake?! Just goes to show how great a night it was.

There is only one downside to the whole evening ~ since I hosted I am left with a ton of food I really shouldn't be eating including chips, chocolate, apple crisp, and veggies and dip ... so needless to say ~ the diet starts tomorrow ;)
