Weekend Plans

I'm so excited about tonight, it's ridiculous. Wine, snacks, girlfriends, and Rock Band!! I'm starting to come down with a cold, but there's no way it's stopping me from tonight. We're rocking out - in our jammies.

I've been thinking... I'm bringing my camera, it's time to start documenting the goofiness. I've spent most of my life avoiding being in pictures, I'm always too self conscious. I think this is the year I'm going to try to change it. It's just a picture. I want to be able to look back on the pictures and laugh at all the good times. So what if I'm too chunky? Who cares if I'm in my best Starfleet Academy sweat pants with no make up on? That's me. So be it. It's time to stop constantly worrying about what other people think, and just enjoy my life.

I'm off to go enjoy myself and live a little!

How to Feel Instantly Popular

So I joined the world of Facebook last night. And what did I find there? Why the people who read this blog and that I keep in touch with on a regular basis, my irl friends, and... THE HORROR!!! My high school is having a reunion soon for my class. My TWENTY year reunion!

But it was a lot of fun going through the pictures and laughing. Some people look the same (I do - just more grays a few more pounds, but instantly recognizable, and I still close my eyes when I smile), and some people look so vastly different that I wouldn't know them if they came up and bit me on the nose... Hard to tell how much people have really changed in terms of looks tho, because it was the era of big, huge, permed out hair.

I got tagged by one of the reunion committee members almost immediately (that'll learn me to put in personally identifying information) but after a few minutes of digging through pictures, I feel like I was already there.

Oh, and how to feel instantly popular? Join Facebook. Apparently there are scores of people out there dying to say hello. I feel special in a "hey, it's nice to post a single sentence asking how you are, but I'm never going to actually write you or meet to hang out" type of way. Which is awesome for me. You guys know how much I suck at keeping in touch!

Crash and Burn...

It's February 1st. Time to evaluate the first month of the year... and it was BUSY!! I've finally come back out of my hidey-hole and started seeing my friends again, going to the gym, paying attention to the world around me... and I'm tired.

I have spent the entire weekend doing practically nothing, and it's been wonderful. Yesterday was the first day since Dec 20th that I chose not to leave the house at all, blew off all obligations, and napped. It's 3 pm on Sunday, and there's a pretty good chance that today will be more of the same. The dog is giving me that look, you know the one "Come on mommy, the couch is comfy, there's plenty of food in the freezer, you know you want to..."

And it's everything that I hoped it would be. Sheer heaven. Tomorrow I'll go back to burning the candle at both ends, but for today, I'm going to just be. Who says I haven't learned anything from my yoga and meditation class????
