Today felt long.
I'm almost certain it was the lack of nap during the midday hours that I've become so accustomed to in these last few weeks. I mean, is there a better use of midday than nap? (All you non-single people, don't ruin my happiness. Yes, I KNOW what could be better midday, I'm just, well, nevermind, let's just say that's not an option these days.)
So midday has been a little rough for me. Lack of nap and all.
Had to come in and tackle email straightaway. 74 emails. Not bad for two weeks off. Only about ten from this morning before I got here, so overall 65ish emails for two weeks? Hardly a blip on my email radar. When I took off the 11th of December I had 183 in one day. Some people are just email happy. I am not one of them.
Looks like I'll be headed to Key West here in a couple weeks to catch up with a friend of mine, C. C, for those who don't know, was my Realtor (2x) and is a friend as well. She'll be down for a few days in January and I'm going to take the boat down for a night. Sounds like a good way to spend a January day, doesn't it?
Resolutions are still going well, although I had a bit of insomnia last night. I think it was pending stress for the workday today, although it has been overall pleasant.
Bought tickets to Jersey Boys and Willie Nelson for Mom and I when she comes to town in February. She is quite excited (and under 18+ inches of snow right now).
Today is Sharkmom's birthday ... Happy Birthday Jen! Now let's all officially celebrate JEN-uary!
I have a leg wax tonight. It is either leg wax or bush hog -- I have been growing these babies out for three weeks. I will not wait another week, it is horrible and I want to wear skirts again. I do love the underarm wax I had last week. The time saved in the shower is incredible! (I know, probably TMI, but this has been great!) After coming from a climate where no one saw my legs for six months at a time, a couple days' growth was no big deal. Here, it is warm, so I wear skirts a lot -- and the constant maintenance is driving me batty. So. Wax.
Nada else ... just ready to call it a day.

Resolutions completed
I managed to hit all three of my resolutions yesterday and I'm on my way to meeting my resolutions today too -- it feels good to know I'm making a change in my life for the better.
Today was mildly exciting from the start. Last night, I was out with Mary and KC and we had parked our cars at a local gas station before going out for the night. Lee had agreed to pick up Mary and I, while KC's husband was driving her home. It seemed like the perfect plan -- and avoidance of a DUI is very important to me.
So this morning I get up around 7 at Mary and Lee's house and walk about a mile to get my car. When I arrive, my car and Mary's car are both gone. Clearly not stolen, as both cars are gone. Towed. Yep. Luckily enough, the tow truck company was nice enough to pick me up at the gas station, take me to get the cash necessary and deliver me to my car at the impound lot. $160 later, it was the most expensive night out I've had in a long time. I will need to be on a budget for a while now to make up for the lost funds but ultimately it was better to spend the $160 than wake up in the Lee County lockup. I've never looked very good in orange or horizontal stripes.
I'm doing laundry now, getting the house in order before I return to work tomorrow. After two weeks off, I'm actually ready to go back as twisted as that sounds. I need to put a few more plans into place for the new year and find that elusive house I'll buy at some point this year. I have about five months left on my lease so it is time I found something.
Also ... texted back and forth with Rugby last night. I'm not sure we will ever be where we were, but I also hate having unpleasantness between myself and anyone I've dated. If and when there is ever more to report, I will.

2010 is here.
Last night was lovely -- Mary and Lee hosted a NYE party at their home with a number of their friends. I think I managed to make a couple new friends too -- and given that my friend count here in Florida is rather low, I'm glad to have made them.
I did get kissed more at this NYE party than I've ever been kissed at a NYE party -- even though all kisses were on the cheek, it was a welcome way to celebrate this new year and decade. Perhaps this will lead to more kisses in this decade? A girl can dream!
Today has been spent cleaning up a bit from the party, driving home, snoozing with the kittens and generally daydreaming. At a little before 3, I woke up and showered, then headed back to Mary and Lee's home to celebrate their oldest daughter's 15th birthday. They have some of the coolest kids around, so it is always nice to spend time with them all.
I was back here around six, and now just chilling out. I haven't a doubt I'll be in bed soon.
2010 resolutions:
1. Focus on eating at home/home cooked meals. I spent the last six months eating out a lot and I can tell.
2. Work out at least 3x per week for 30 minutes each time.
3. Get at least 8 hours sleep each night.
That's it for 2010. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
