Happier Days
Filed Under Uncategorized
Last night we dropped the Brits off at the airport to send them back to Heathrow. I hated saying goodbye to them, and I hate that they don’t live just down the road so that I can text them to come by for dinner whenever I feel like it. Still, it’s pretty awesome to know I have such good family living abroad that I can always visit with one little plane ride. It’s also pretty awesome to know that my family abroad has the same sense of humor and same alcohol tolerance that we have over here. Yay genetics! However: starting today I am going to attempt a week of detox so that my liver does not decide to abandon me in a time of need. Seriously. I need it.
To make sure I start to follow through with my renewed fitness plan, I finally agreed to sign up for a triathlon, at the continued requests of my health teacher/physical trainer friend. The tri might not be until summer, but if I continue to drink like the Prohibition is nigh there is no way I will ever get my ass in gear to be able to swim, bike, and run any amount of distance. The multiple desserts a day probably haven’t been helping either, but how’s a girl to choose between pecan cream cheese pie, apple crisp, coconut cheesecake, or pumpkin ginger tarts? It’s impossible, I tell you!
Anyway, moving on. I feel like it’s been forever since last I posted even though it’s really only been 5 days. Let me catch you up with the short version: New Boy is out, there’s a new New Boy in town. I had many misgivings about the old New Boy to begin with, and once I met the new New Boy I could clearly see he was a million times better suited to me. In fact, I would say I am in major crush mode at the moment and it’s a very nice place to be, especially since I’m reasonably certain it’s mutual.
So that’s that. Tomorrow is my last day of Thanksgiving break, and now all I have to look forward to is the ten days at Christmas time. But oh, that seems so far away right now. What are your plans to make it from now till the end of December?

Triathlons and a new crush?? I like what I’m hearing!!
I print out a calendar so I can cross off the days until Christmas vacation starts. Somehow, that helps me focus on it, not on the annoying work-ness between now and then.
New new boy? Tell!
I am attempting to pack as much FUN STUFF into the next few weeks as humanly possible. Woot!!!
Wow! That’s a lot of stuff for FIVE days!!
Hooray for NNB!
I don’t know how I’m going to make it to christmas. I’m trying not to think about it.
I only have to work 12 days between now and Xmas break, but I’m such an ingrate that I’ve been pouty about it nonstop anyways.
Yes, I know need a reality check, but I need a good long break even more.
Such exciting things going on in your world!
My plan to make it through December involves quality time with the Rose Bowl and the dog so I don’t gain back the 20 pounds I lost. Because oh my hell I love to eat this time of year.
Ooh, I do love a good crush! Not so much when they find out and then it’s so awkward because there’s that whole “please stop stalking me” thing but it doesn’t sound like that’s happening with you!
I am going to get through until Christmas by scrapbooking with a friend next weekend. That’s all I have planned so far. I might have to look into this further.
I know, being a teacher isn’t easy and BLAHBLAH but damn, do me and my two day break wish I was a teacher right now!
What?? New Boy out and another New Boy already in? Tell me your secrets, Obi-Wan, because it’s been a dry year over here. Good for you, though. Have fun.
The short version was purely tantalizing. I want the long version! For serious!
i’m with stefanie – where are you finding all these boys? did all the boys just move to massachusetts? because there are no boys in nyc. can you export some of your boys down here?
Ooh! New new boy!!!!
Sorry you’re missing your cousins. Sounds like it was a super fun weekend!
I kind of love that everyone is excited about New New Boy, whereas I would like to hear more about the pecan cream cheese pie. No wonder none of my pants fit.
A triathlon! That is impressive. I’m not sure I could give up multiple desserts (pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate pecan pie for me) and drinking, so good luck with that.
Also, yay for the new New Boy! I want to hear more about him!
Yay for New New Boy! We want to hear all about him, obviously.
Also, I keep thinking it is just a few weeks until Christmas. But it sucks that it is a bunch of five-day weeks. I like 3-day weeks!
Hoorah for New New Boy!
