Alex and I met today at noon, after five weeks of not seeing each other due to the holidays. She had a good time with her extended family, and her first year of middle school is progressing well. She will have her 12th birthday next month.
We had a lot of news to catch up on, and we talked over our Starbucks beverages before moving on to lunch at our favorite Thai place. The fish in the aquarium at our 'special' table looked well, and all of the usual characters were present, from Watermelon to Nemo and Rocky, as well as Spike, Banana and the eel.
Once the Thai Iced Teas were consumed, we headed on to Country Village to check out the chickens ( we saw Fluffy!) and window shop for Alex's birthday. We stopped in at the Stamping shop to get a schedule of upcoming classes, then went on to the library to check out some books on tape for my commute to work.
We always end our day at an ice cream shop, and she had a cone filled with "Love Potion Number 31". She has her eye on a boy in school whose name is also Alex, and we thought that was pretty cool.
It was great to see her again, and we launched 2011 in style!
