I said to myself that I'd post at least 3x a week... what baloney that was!
We're now into the last day of November and I haven't posted a thing. Ah, better late than never...
My Thanksgiving holiday turned out to be really great:
Ten rounds of drinks,
Nine jukebox selections,
Eight pounds of turkey, ham, dressing, and the works,
Seven great friends I saw,
Six long driving hours,
Five Harry Potter fans!
Four venti lattes (skinny!) from Starbuck's
Three hours of Black Friday Shopping,
Two trips to Wal-Mart,
and an awesome wedding and reception to remember!
Finally, after a few months, I went back to P'cola for a visit, which is always like trying to schedule a state visit. Dinner with him, Lunch with her, the afternoon with them, and coffee with so-and-so. On previous trips, it was overwhelming, but this time, it was really nice.
The highlight was Saturday night-- a wedding and the reception that started in the parish hall, moved to a bar and finally ended at an Irish pub. I was with some friends I really did miss-- the old Red Cross gang. I don't miss the work; just these people, or as we like to call our club: BEER (Bitter Ex-Employees of the Red cross). We didn't exactly leave the organization on great terms, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, it was great to catch up with them... to toast old times and drink to new. I was good... I toasted with Diet Coke.
Now, it's been hard getting back and focused on work. It's been a killer of a week with so many holiday events we're planning. Maybe if I keep eating all these Christmas sweets I induce myself into a sugar coma and wake up around Easter.
