The Humpty Dance . . .

Mid-week, I can make it through. I don't feel so bad about my slack when the woman in the next cube over whines "you mean we have to work a whole week this week?".

I got a call from a woman from the Christmas Show last night about Dance Theater and the alum dance - rehearsals start on January 20th and there are 2 shows in February. I REALLY want to do this but I won't be able to if any of the shows or practices are on a Wednesday (unless that is, I can get there in time after my class at Umass). The song the alums will be dancing to is "Bring in the Noise" from "Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk" - the disturbing thing is that this particular recording is by Nsync (ew)!

B and I have been staying in trying to clean up ourselves (with healthy home-cooked food) and our surroundings (re-organizing, throwing things away and keeping on top of the clutter). I'm so proud of him - he's been going to the gym almost every day and is full of energy (which of course makes ME full of energy). My darn cold won't go away though so I can't take advantage of it; he had to fight me to stay in the house last night since I wanted to frolic!

I think tonight I may go out on the quest for a going-away gift for a friend. I know in my head what I'd like to get for him but my options are limited by the suburban shopping mall experience that is available after 'regular business hours'. Who knows, perhaps I'll get lucky!

I'm looking forward to a relaxed weekend with only a few commitments and to getting healthy again. And then NEXT week (hopefully, or rather, whenever my cold is gone) I'll get back into the workout routine and going to Punk Rock Aerobics - I wonder if MTV will be there filming next time :)

Productive

I bought books for school on-line; they should arrive at my house about a week before the class starts. This is something that I didn't experience going to a small private school as an undergrad (don't miss squeezing past students in the small aisles of bookshelves only to find that one of the 4 books I need is already sold out).

I picked up my new cell phone from the mail room (they've changed our corporate discount from Verizon Wireless to AT&T Wireless). Its got lots of neat features, you can check it out at http://www.sonyericssonmobile.com/us/spg.jsp?page=start (mine is the R300LX). They gave me a weird area code on the phone however, its "339" - I wonder what the deal is with that.

And now back to checking through the most recent analysis before meeting with the manager . . .
