Xmas party, Mind the Gap, updates...

Christmas party at my parents' house Dec 23. Come 730/8, doesn't matter. You all know the address. BYOB bc I'm poor... I'm sure there will be some punch or whatnot though... and snacks/food. Bill is going to set up beer pong in the basement, can't wait to see how that pans out! LOL!!

I'm excited to see everyone, I can't friggin wait to be in CT for 2 weeks. It better fuckin snow too.

I'll be there from Dec 21 - Jan 2. So far, I'm planning on taking a trip to Boston to visit Kara and I'm also going to be staying at Amy and Howie's for a few nights in Norwalk. I'm so excited to see Amy's belly bump - I see pics but it's still so surreal to me that my best friend is prego. She's gonna be a great mommy.... just look at how awesome I turned out cuz she was the biggest influence in my life growing up, without her I don't know who I would be. And to this day, I don't know what I would do without her!!!


So - update on me lately. I went to a yoga class with Gaby yesterday and HOLY SHIT I am so fuckin sore. I felt fine this morning... but the longer I sat at my desk the more I felt the soreness set in. My back, my hips, my shoulders. Feels so good, def different than doing yoga at home. Probably bc at home I do like 20 mins, and a class is 1.5 hours.

I borrowed the movie "Mind the Gap" from Lenny a while ago. Just watched it tonight - really really good. It is made by the guy that made Wirey Spindell (Eric Schaeffer) - I really like him and his acting too. He takes such a deep and personal look into people's lives, it is so real and genuine. Not easy to capture with a camera. While the movie has some sad scenes, it has hopeful ones too - and it's actually incredibly inspiring. There is this one part about asking forgiveness - it made me want to call all the people in my past that I did anything wrong to and ask for their forgiveness. Saying your sorry isn't always enough. I never thought about it that way, and I like the new perspective.

You should see the movie - it's really awesome. Wirey Spindell is a good watch too.

It's 12:30am, I should be sleeping, but I have some work to do before the am. They are renovating our Beale St Corp HQ in SF (where I work) and I am helping with the biz plan for the architects. Apparently people are lying about their headcount numbers and I have to give the SVP a fighting leg to stand on. YAY. One of my coworkers in my row (yes, cube farm hell) left a few weeks ago, now I find out another one in my row is leaving in a few weeks. Someone said to me today "so Brenda when you leavin" as a joke and I had to pretend I'm not. It's so hard to do, esp with my boss. She's gonna be so upset. :( But ok with me - get me the F outta here!!! I woke up this AM and just wanted to run back east right away, I'm so over this living situation. Ok, stop talking and get to work Brenda.....
