Okay. I'm taking a small hiatus because I want to focus on writing my book.

Peace.

I have new impetus to start writing my book again. Joy has been pushing me & I want her to push me. I need that. Was telling Andy about it last night. We are going to do a writing "workshop," I think!
I have to dust off the notebook and get going. If I'm really serious about writing this thing. And I think I am!
It will be a good distraction, too, as I search for a new job.
I'm going to try and write in the mornings. At least one sentence everyday. My goal is to finish my first draft by the end of the year. That gives me five months.
Should be enough!! I hope!

WHEN ITS TIME TO CHANGE, YOU'VE GOT TO REARRANGE! Where is my new job??
I had a FABULOUS weekend!!
Yankee's game was fun -- Sunday was nice. GOOD STUFF!

This day is off to a strange start. Don't know if I want to get into it here because it is all public and stuff and its regarding work. Anyway - I"m a little stressed out about some things. I just hope that everything works out.
Well - going to a fun party tonight - looking forward to it :)
I'm a little distracted. maybe I should write later . . .

Had a weird dream last night. I forgot to write it down. It involved me looking for a parking spot in a strange neighborhood and Rose McGowan. WEIRD.
Weather is yucky today and work is still slow.
Need a new lunch date!!
Yoga last night was pretty rough -- did a handstand again (of course, with assistance). I am really determined to be able to do it on my own soon. It felt really good though. Wish I could take more than one class a week. Its truly amazing.
I've decided I need to cut back on food intake too. I have alot of weddings in the coming months and I don't want to look like a pig-asaurus.
I feel like all my weekends of the summer are taken up. Not a bad thing, but I wish we could have summer vacations like we did in school. I think people would be much happier. Someone should work on making that happen.
We watched Office Space in the office yesterday. I love that movie. I think because it is SO easy to relate, which is truly frightenening. I said it was like reading The Devil Wears Prada. I agree with myself!
I need to work on going to Europe soon. I'd like to go for a couple of weeks at least too - none of this one-week vacation sh*t. I want a REAL, honest-to-goodness vacation. I feel like I deserve it.
Anyway - enough moaning and groaning. I have to go pretend like I'm being productive - ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Went to the dentist today and found out that I should have a gingivectomy - YUCK. THey have to remove excess GUM that has built up since I wore braces and still wear retainers on my bottom teeth. I'm highly disturbed. If my insurance doesn't pay, I don't think I'll do it . . .
I think I officially hate going to the dentist now.
Sent off another request for a "lunch date" we'll have to see how that one goes (as well as the original, who I should be hearing from soon - I hope).
I have yoga tonight. It feels like a million years since I've gone. It will probably kick my butt.
I'm rather sleepy today. I feel like when the weather is warm, I have a harder time getting up in the morning. Even if I've had a full night's sleep.
I had a nightmare last night that Toulouse had escaped. But I got him back. Probably residue of grabbing him again last night. Boy, does he hate that! I feel badly, but its for his own good. The scaly face is going away. I think I may have to do it once more before it is gone completely.
Had a TLT for lunch today - YUMMMM. Burritoville!
Guess that is all for now. Looking forward to the Yankee game on Saturday!

Monday again . . . Should be a slow week though -- my boss is out.
I wish I could just stay in bed today - its so gross out.
had a great weekend, though -- was Carlotta's unofficial bachelorette party :) We got silly, boy! I can't wait to see the pictures . . .
Also got some good QT with Andy which was nice.
I'm ravenous this morning. Dunno why & I had a bagel with cream cheese & tomato - YUMM! Oh well. Gotta go get my roll of film developed. Its agood one, I think!
Okay - I'll write more soon.

Its FRIDAY!
I'm so ready for this weekend. Its been the longest week from hell workwise. Next week should be nice and slow.
Going to Brooklyn Brewery tonight - yay! and the sun just came out - YAY!
Taking Andy with me -- he gets to meet some of the Billburg crew . . .
Lots to do this weekend - what with C's bachelorette pre-party & all. Gotta get my car inspected and go to the eye doctor. Whew!
Also -- gotta keep putting oil on Toulouse's beak (poor little guy).
:(
I'm tired, man.
Gotta read Anne & Shaun's script!

Hope its a nice weekend!

Alright -- I'm back . . . in full effect.
Been busy!
Work's been busy.
I've been busy - being social.
I'm tired.
Haven't fully recovered from the last weekend.
Andy and I went to Plaid last night & its kinda weak. But it was good cuz it was free drinks & food! YAY.
I'm starving right now. I feel like I always talk about food on this thing.
Well.
I guess I'll write more later!

So . . .
I am a loser and left my bag at Grimaldi's last night. But I called and they have it, so I'll pick it up today after yoga (unless Susie & Dave happen to bike by, in which case, they were nice enough to say they will pick it up for me!)
Anyway - Grimaldi's was AMAZING and so was ice cream afterward. Can't believe I haven't been there before. I feel fat and gross from it . . . but I have yoga tonight, so I should be better after that.
I can't wait for the 4th - it will be fun! I haven't been to the beach yet this year . . .

So I emailed the Lunch Date. FINGERS CROSSED.

Anyway - guess that is all. I'm hungry. Might walk to Burritoville. Its GORGEOUS out!! YIPPEE!
