I had lunch with Cynthia this afternoon. She and I were talking about our favorite subject...ballroom dancing, of course! The conversation started to take a different turn halfway through the meal. She asked me how close I am with Kelly. I told her that we weren't that close and she said, "neither are we." Then she told me that Kelly told her that if Josh ever makes it big in the music industry, she will "take him back." Like he's waiting for her to take him. Unbelievable! And what about Jason?

I left Josh a message because I wanted to let him in on this but he's playing piano in south Jersey tonight so I'm not sure when I'll hear from him. I just can't believe she thinks she can have him back if she pleases. I'm so unbelievably annoyed right now. You have no idea.

Okay...on to a happier topic: Groundhog Day. It was awesome. We got up real early Saturday morning and arrived in Punxsutawney around six a.m. On the way there we passed Desire, Pennsylvania and Panic, Pennsylvania. Can you imagine living in Panic? Where did they come up with these names? Desire, however, might not be that bad. ;)

We got to Punxsutawney and we took a bus up to Gobbler's Knob. We had planned to walk but it was a mile and a half walk on an icy hill so we decided to pay for the bus. Totally worth it.

We were all bundled up, but the field was covered in ice so our feet were freezing. There was no way to take the edge off. My toes were like little icicles.

We were standing there - or rather shifting from foot to foot for a little relief - when Josh smiled at me. I asked him what was up. He said, "I was just thinking...if a day ever comes when you start to question my love for you, I want you to look back on this moment, when I got up in the middle of the night to stand outside with you in western Pennsylvania, on ice in February to watch a rodent look for his shadow." We both started laughing.

Punxsutawney Phil (the groundhog) ended up seeing his shadow so we're in for another six weeks of winter. After the prognostication we headed back into town where we had a breakfast buffet and then walked around the town. We left around noon and drove back home where we collapsed out of exhaustion. It was fun but tiring. Very tiring.

Well, it's time for me to head out to meet JD for our dance lesson. Gotta run!
