I have a date tonight - wish me luck. I'm nervous. He seems like a nice guy - smart, sucess, likes to travel and dance. he is alos getting an MBA and knows what it is like to work fulltime and go to school. He also has a long commute just like me.
I have been busy cleaning my house between classes and work to get it ready for Christmas. I decided to celebrate the holiday instead of wallowing in self pity. I am putting up a tree, a nativity and lights. I have enjoyed shopping and even listened to a few carols on the radio. I have one last gift to get and it is a gift certificate - if anyone knows my track record with gift certificates - the business usually goes out of business shortly after I buy them. So you might want to sell you stock of Barnes & Noble, Walmart and Home Depot. I give you fair warning.
I went up to the swing dance last night. It was a good time but I was definately out of practice. I enjoyed it a lot though and am planning on making more appearances. I even got a birthday dance. Next week is the holiday ball in Milford - live band and dress up!
It is supposed to snow tomorrow am and I am using this as an excuse to take the day off from work. I have plenty of days and I can use them to fix up the house. So I will keep saying - I will unpack, I will toss out junk, I will donate anything that is not needed, I will not keep the boxes, I will not watch tv instead!
I have also decided to go back to weightwatchers and get on the scale - This is what I am most anxious about but I just have to suck it up. I will get it over with and then get back on track. I will then go to the gym and dancing classes this week. This is my plan. Oh - and pay lots of attention to Baxter whose sleeping quietly next to me.
Au revoir mes amies!
