Hey there...

Thursday... I wish it was Friday.. but oh well... time already goes fast.. i guess i shouldn't wish each day away huh? The humidity isn't so heavy the past day or so.. which makes for happier people walking around.. actually driving with their windows open.. I hope it stays like this.. I actually felt a glimpse of fall yesterday.. cooler breezes... i really enjoy the fall...

i had a good day yesterday.. everything seemed right with the world.. in dealing with me.. I can always tell when I'm doing ok.. I whistle a lot... yesterday I couldn't get the theme song for 'The Munsters' out of my head.. went running after work... really good run.. then.. i was doing an arm workout.. and i caught a glimpse of my body in the mirror... was like.. 'oh my gosh.. this is disgusting' and felt the need to get out of that gym before the 'Fat Police' were to escort me out of the gym.... ugh...

Angela and I went to Wholefoods/FreshFields last nite.. so I could show her where it was.. I got stuff for smoothies this morning... it already feels so natural.. her being here.. it's interesting.. i hope it continues..

My land line phone goes back on today sometime.. thank goodness.. an unsuccessful attempt to try to save money... but an attempt no less... if you don't have my land line no.. email me.. and i'll refresh ya... Whew... if you knew how frustrating it's been this past week.. NO reception with my cell phone in the house.. ugh!!!!!

Ok.. so originally I told myself that i was to make NO plans this weekend... but I have anyway.. I have a date on Saturday.. (refraining from making any decisions/divulging any information about it till afterward) and Sunday I'm hanging out with my absolutely cutie pie friend Lyle...without feeling about Saturday.. and excited about Sunday!

I got my digital camera back... they said they didn't find anything wrong with it.. WEIRD!!!

oh yea.. Naomi and i are going to have a yard Sale (I've never had a yard sale) on Sunday, September 18th... I have SO much stuff that I do not use on a daily basis.. so in an attempt to try to practice minimizing my life's "stuff" i'm going to just give give give (ok.. sell sell sell) it all away... i hope I have a lot of things to sell.... cause i have a lot of stuff...

3 things that make me happy:
- Opening my email and seeing that I actually have emails from people I know vs, the amount of junk emails I get... Makes me happy.
- Getting invited to the 25th Anniversary Party of the National Building Museum... Not that I am going to go, $100 tickets, ugh, but still.. makes me feel a part of something big.
- One of my clients emailed my boss and told him that he wanted my boss to know that i did a wonderful job on one of the furniture installs.. my boss wrote back something nice too.. SO nice to hear something good...
- My co-worker/friend Erin.. got accepted into Massage School yesterday!!! I was talking to her about overcoming her fears and going for it! And look! She's going to do something to help her fulfill her dreams! That made me SO happy to hear yesterday!!!

2 things that I look forward to:
- Cleaning out my refrigerator from the party (potato salad, corn and beans and LOTS of beer (that I don't drink) so I can actually go grocery shopping.
- Sitting there... in the massage chair.. while one of the ladies gives me a pedicure on Saturday, my feet are in desparate need!!!.. (I cannot WAIT!!)

2 long term things I look forward to:
- Shutting off the Air Conditioning and having the windows open all day long.. AHH FALL!!!
- I am determined to run a 5K this fall.. (3.1 miles) I want to wait till it gets cooler.. so maybe in October.

1 person I am going to appreciate:
- My dad... for in recent years.. my dad and i have become quite distant.. (makes me sad) but I appreciate how much patience he's exuded over the past few months helping my mother heal.. I have seen my dad do things (laundry) that I have NEVER seen him do.. I appreciate my dad for taking care of my mom. (Side note: She's doing well.. went to doctor on Tuesday.. dr said she's coming along better than he expected - and no going back to work for 2-3 months)

ok my lovebugs.. you have a wonderful day.. keep smiling.
onward and upward.
