Counting down...

...the hours till it's time to go home. Even this short week has dragged on! I have nothing to do today until the proof gets printed, and then only about a half-hour of actual work. sigh...

I just called Lakshmi to see what the ETA is for this evening. She said sevenish, so that gives me plenty of time to get everything ready. I have to bake another shortbread, wrap her gift (I'm thinking the ol' gift bag routine would work nicely), shower & get ready, and pack. Already got gas this morning on the way to work; the Sunoco on the town line had gas for $1.67! Cheapest I've seen in quite a while. Saved a coupla quarters, there.

Sounds like we're having quite the crowd tonight! There's usually only about 8 of us, but this year there will be 14 or 15. Wow! It'll be a fun party. We both promised to keep an eye on each other so we don't drink too much this year. The problem is, it's hard to keep track when you're eating and laughing and otherwise having fun. So I will make a concerted effort to be aware of my intake. And hers, if I can. Plus, drinking lots of water. That's the key.

Still having strange dreams. It took me a bit to get it back after I woke up this morning, but eventually I recalled the major events. Then I shook my head in wonder. What the heck is going on in my head?! It's not the moon, that was last weekend. Whatever!
