PIC OF THE DAY!
Photo prompt: The Eye of the Beholder. This is part of a series that was on exhibit at the gallery that Cindy and I visited on Friday night. These little guys were mostly very sad-looking. Wish I’d had this for the “textures” entry.
TODAY…
1. Thankful that I got to re-connect with some former colleagues last night.
2. Thankful for a loooong nap on a cold, gloomy day.
3. Thankful that I’m really looking forward to Monday being a very eventful day!
4. Thankful for love in my heart. Now all I need is a target!
5. Thankful that I’m ready to start my whole new life.
Glooooooomy day. Cold, damp, depressing. What did I accomplish today? Slept late. Drank coffee with gallons of warm, soothing milk. Long nap. A few emails. Talked to no one. Another nap. Watched a movie (don’t even remember the name). Tomato soup and toast. Got the blues. Serious blues. Napped again. Damn.
Seriously, being a shut-in is sometimes a great idea, and yes, it was nice and relaxing, but I feel like I wasted a day. The good news is, tomorrow’s going to be very busy, and I’m looking forward to that. I do need to finish a couple of things before I end my nap-fest and go to bed.
Tomorrow at my council meeting we are going to review resumes. Oh joy. I’ve already updated mine, but I also need to write up my “cabinet” list, the group of people I’m using to help me with my job search.
Then I have that designer meeting in the afternoon. I don’t know what to expect.
And then I’ve managed to set up another DATE tomorrow early evening. Get ready for another RAD. Don’t know what to expect there either. This guy looks handsome and seems super smart from his profile, but he sounds very cynical. What do you think will happen when you put two cynical souls together? Hm.
Party at Maria’s last night was really lovely…for the most part. She always does such an amazing job with the food. In fact, she does an INSANE job with the food. Friends flew in from New York and Chicago simply to help with the cooking! It was fantastic!
Saw a bunch of old work people, and that was okay. But I saw some people that I didn’t even expect to see, and that surprised me. I said my hellos and kind of ran to get a glass of wine, but when I came back to have further conversation, they were scattered. Still, I had some really good, long convos with three different people (2 former colleagues and one friend who JUST started working at my old company!) who were super helpful in my networking endeavors.
Met the fiance for the first time. He’s simply amazing, and the bride (Maria’s daughter) really struck gold there. Maria’s daughter is wonderful, but this guy seems like a total dream beyond dreams. Charming and very, very gracious. I am extremely impressed. Especially since Maria’s daughter was engaged to this other guy a couple of years ago who was a total asshole.
Let’s be honest here. I do have a bit of jealousy going on there and I’m not afraid to admit it. But I’m over it. I do wish them the absolute best in their life together. I just wish the same for me, too. Is that so wrong? Sue me.
Um, let’s see. I hardly got to talk to Maria last night. Not that I expected to. She’s such a hostess, but I hope to have much more convo soon. She’s been blowing me off for months now regarding doing some consulting for her company. And she’s leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow, I think. I also think she’s reconsidering giving me a bit of a break because of our friendship, but I hope to convince her to let me do something. We’ll see. I’ve got my mind on other things right now. But still, it would be nice to crank some reports out through her.
Funny. I was just writing about her, and she just poked me on Facebook. Weird.
I hung out with her friend Andrew for most of the evening. He’s a nice guy and all, but eh. He has major issues since we were introduced. Totally unavailable (emotionally and geographically), but still fun to kind of flirt with. We talked for a couple hours, I think.
I drank too much wine.
I was hungover this morning. What a bluh day.
Haven’t heard anything from CC today. Perhaps he found my entry yesterday? But how? Perhaps he’s just not that into me? Heh. Fine by me.
So. It’s pretty much bedtime. You’re pretty much caught up. I pretty much adore you!! XO
