Realizing that I have a whole bunch of work to do in the next 3 weeks!
Good noodle bowl at Cville Coffee, and good "work" chatting.
Fingers crossed extra hard for Carolyn.
The prospect of New Year's frolics with Jeremy!
Mom calling my paper "crap" - now that is unconditional support!

Sunday evenin'
Thinking about giving up my morning coffee for Ginger Peach tea, and shocked that I'm even considering it.
Progress on the paper.
Patience with feeling really fuckin' grumpy about a variety of family matters.
Booked my flight to GA, and thereby preempting part of my grumpiness before it got ugly.
Glass half full, my friend, but the vacation's over and I'm going to bed.

Sunday mornin'
Lousy run yesterday morning - I'm blaming it on being tired and still a little congested. But it did feel good to get out and cover 3.5 miles worth of ground.
Forgetting to buy cat food from the Vet, again. Oh, I'm a horrible, horrible person. Plus, it means my morning goes like this (credit to Jen for finding this video)!
Guitaring and singing, very nice. Late night at Fellini's. Blurry drive home. Old-school SNL.
Plans for making chili on this cold, rainy day. But, first things first: what's for breakfast? I want something scrumptious for a change! Not the same old eggs/toast or oatmeal/yogurt routine.
I will finish my paper. And get my Whole Foods fix.

The sidewalks rub my feet as I walk by...
That's his Song about that. Or is that his Logic?
Painters start scraping just before 8 a.m. I really hope they're taking tomorrow off, 'cause I'm really looking forward to sleeping in.
84 txt msgs ths mth. Woah. I feel like one of those young'uns!
Is there any way that I could keep from getting knots in my upper back ever again?
Successful day!

A whopping 500 calories per slice!
...has Pecan pie, or so says The Biggest Loser! I, also, am looking forward to a mellow Thanksgiving with K & J.
A really satisfying class today.
Dad understanding immediately (and with his boisterous laugh) what the ethical issue is, and admitting to his culpability.
After Thanksgiving sale starts at 4 a.m.? Ugh. What is this world coming to?
Looking forward to exciting groupie work tomorrow!

Monday
Feeling a little uncertain about whether my move to an office-with-a-window-view was really the right move, but I did it and it's too late to undo it, so here goes...
Rallying without much effort to hear Scott at the Baja open-mic tonight; carried with me few expectations and loads of enthusiasm, and was impressed, really impressed. Yes. Yes.
Loving the news that Ted is in love with his new pup, Java. Really loving that news.
Working my way towards better understanding of why I don't like the person that I don't like: I think it's (in part) 'cause said person is a know-it-all who doesn't let people finish their stories. And, so reflecting on my self, I remember that I often need to remind myself to listen more. In the listening, you learn how fascinating people are and expand your own possibilities.
Making progress on my papers and knowing that I need to do a lot of focusing in the next 3 weeks to get it all done. Because, it goes one step at a time.

Thankful weekend
A whole series of old friends turn 30 this month: Patrick, Sara, Christena, Kristi. Exciting times.
Saturday full of goodness: a feel-good run on an exciting new route; Bodo's with a growing, laughing group; LaTaza for Honeybush brew, more Paul Farmer reading and chatting with Christie; quick stop downtown and then taking Carolyn's advice and going with the day as it presented itself. First ever watch (or read) of Harry Potter is pretty decent, after all, and then thankfully almost losing my voice just in time for Karaoke. Scott sings "Talk dirty to me" - what a hoot!
Feeling not so great this morning, though cough syrup w/ codeine helped me sleep a solid 7 hours. Up for tea, then back to bed until 1:30. Grateful that 2 cups of coffee, 1000 mg of Tylenol and an icepacked neck quickly kicks the headache to the curb. Thanks to Sister for the nursing advice.
Soaking up what's left of the day's sun, it's warm enough to sit on the porch in a t-shirt. Thinking about... this is what it's like to live in a peaceful land: girl says 'hi' as she meanders down the street; I noticed the grass blowing in the breeze and wonder if I should mow to mulch the leaves or rake; the sun casts an orange glow on the trees and house just-so at this time of the day.
Sending positive thoughts to Devon, who I think by now has played her first night opening for Lucinda Williams, and feeling confident that she's showing London that she is indeed the badass she was born to be.
Thankful that this is a short work week and that I don't have to travel either.

As I watch life begin to measure years...
Thinking about...
...how it's the mid-point of the month and wondering where all the time went.
...a 5 year plan for the first time in my life?
...a young lady's tragic passing in my town this month.
...fantastic supper club conversations!
...4th day of a sore throat, and thankful that the house painters and the Boys let me sleep until 1 p.m.
...sister's prolific blogging this week, and the fabulous optimism of today's.
...friend's successes, supporting big names in far away places!
...PK's 30th birthday and my enduring love for him.
...endless vivid and crazy dreams this week.
...blogger's inoperable spellchecker.
