Weekend Update with Jamie Jamerkins
Monday, September 12, 2005
Hoo boy, do my friends and I know how to party. This weekend involved all the elements of an excellent girls getaway...mudslides, talking, extremely easy crafts, shopping, talking, ice cream, and did I mention talking? I feel as if, this year, we had more conversations than ever before. (which is a good thing) Maybe I'm just learning to listen and concentrate more now.

List of conversation topics covered this weekend:
- childhood terms for #1 and #2
- tampon design/engineering/technology/scent
- the ones that got away
- girls in our sorority that one of us could remember, but the rest of us had forgotten about until this particular girl was mentioned
- the awkwardness of one's freshman year of college
- weddings
- babies
- potty-training
- Hurricane Katrina (obviously)
- gaucho pants
- our upcoming vacation for 2006
- dogs
- cats (and cat vomit)

And the list goes on. We're a pretty multiloquent bunch.

Until someone emails me photos, there won't be any updates other than text...you'll just have to wait to see all the photos of the honey-and-feathered pillow fight that we had in our lingerie.

Oh wait, we're ACTUAL WOMEN and not on the cover of FHM.

Congratulations to Emily, who recently got engaged (oh baby, you should see that rock), and to Heather, for whom engagement is imminent. Congratulations to Megan, who recently was awarded her Masters Degree in Journalism and is about to start her PhD studies. Erin and Kim are going through fresh starts in their respective occupations, which is exciting, and Laura's dog recently learned how to sing on command!

Shameless plug: Laura's husband is a friend of mine from college, and is in a band. Please visit their website for more details. They call themselves Minus Six, and are in heavy rotation in the nightclub that is my car stereo. You can also download them from iTunes and CDBaby. If you like the Ben Folds Five or OAR, be sure to invest in this talented group.

I always feel like the weekend goes by so quickly! Love you guys, thanks for a fabulous weekend! :)
