I am in a fabulous mood today. So much so that in the Starbucks drive-thru this morning, I bought the coffee of the person behind me.

I’m wearing a new shirt. My hair is looking pretty good. My Southern Living order came in, and I have a new cookbook to break in this weekend. Jamie’s back in Texas (YAY!). And in one week from now I will be waking up in Florida, and in just shy of 8 days, I’ll be watching the launch of STS-127, a reward for the past 14 months of the hardest work I have ever done in my life. It will be awesome to know that I Helped Do That. I can’t wait!!!!!

I wish you all were here with me today. We would go out to lunch, find a nice Mexican restaurant with an inviting patio, and the first round of margaritas would be on me. We’d laugh and soak up the Sun and the Happy like sponges.

May your weekend be filled with sunshine, lollipops and rainbows and everything that’s wonderful, since I'm sure that's what I'd feel when we're together.
