Dinner and a Dress Rehearsal

Tonight I am having dinner with an old co-worker and I can hardly wait since she is one of my favorite people on earth. Although she is 20 years my senior, she is so much fun to be around and makes me laugh hysterically. In fact, she is the only person that can make me laugh until my sides ache. We don’t see each other as often as we would like and there really isn’t an excuse for it. I guess we both become consumed with our lives, but once we reconnect, the fun begins and we wonder why we wait so long to get together.

And to top off what I know will be a fun evening, we are going to attend a dress rehearsal for West Side Story at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival (yes, I know WSS was not written by Bill Shakespeare); however other plays are also performed there. Anywho - she works at the Festival and is pulling some strings for us to see it. Yippee!

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
