i woke up this morning AND THERE WAS THE SUN AGAIN.
this bodes really well for the rest of the day. not to mention tonight. not to mention the new year, which is coming right up. 2006, going to be good. really good. i promise.
so, last night…well, MCL was every bit as exciting as i thought it’d be. christine loaded up with stuff because it’s a cafeteria and that’s what one has a tendency to do at a cafeteria, but then she couldn’t eat it all because she’s christine.
afterwards we went to randy’s and his neighbors the snyders were already there, waiting for my show rehearsal. i’d forgotten that they went to one of my other gracetalks; they went to #1. #1 was good. i think #3 is going to be the best one, though. too bad i’m only doing it once.
i put in the new dvd that kurt gave me yesterday and randy tried to work the pause button – and it didn’t go well. he kept trying to practice doing it, but he kept pressing the wrong button, which made him frustrated and i was getting a little annoyed, but we decided to just start anyway.
and i kept going even though he kept losing his place and going back to the beginning and it was all quite a fiasco. finally i stopped so he could figure out how to do it, and i tried not to be mad at him, because it certainly wasn’t his fault and he kept saying I DON’T LIKE TECHNOLOGY.
so i started again and it went ok. actually, it went pretty well. i felt more relaxed about the whole thing, didn’t talk a mile a minute like i have a propensity to do. the snyders said they really liked it, and then we had a bunch of wine and treats which randy had graciously provided. i managed to stay away from most of the treats except for the liqueur-filled chocolates which i ate about four of. they went nicely with the wine.
then christine and randy and i watched some sex & the city and had some interesting discussions about that.
ok then. almost ready to go.
another rehearsal at two. and then i get some fancy sexy long hair courtesy of amy.
this morning i was going to lie around and be lazy. P. (the Pope, we have interesting conversations late at night) suggested that i take it easy today. this sounded good last night when i was exhausted, but now THE SUN HAS COME OUT, so i’m thinking i’ll go for a little run. not anything long, not for an hour, nothing that’s going to exhaust me. just a nice little 30-minute run, which should be invigorating and life-affirming. getting the muscles working, the blood flowing. it does feel like it’s been about a year since i’ve exercised outside and i know it hasn’t been quite that long, but this is my last chance this year.
and then, relaxing and stuff. maybe i’ll go out to lunch.
ok, i hope to see you tonight.
grace at the end of 2005. which was kind of a crummy year, all in all. i mean, could have been worse, but certainly could have been way way way better. i’m thinking SO DAMN POSITIVE about 2006, though, that i’m going to WILL it into begin good. yes i am.
“the power of positive thinking.” isn’t that a book?
