saturday was a super productive day.

b and i tag-teamed working on his resume, and it turned out excellently. as usual whenever we do such work together i feel so energized and proud of him. if i was looking to hire, i'd select him in a second.

after that we headed out to do some christmas shopping, and were highly effective with that too. we're so close to being done that it's laughable. considering the fact that the mall is a place that deeply disturbs brendan, he did very well. until the end when i could see he was caving and feeling overwhelmed, so we boogied out of there as fast as possible we were supposed to only go to sears, but ended up going down to zellers for toy stuff for the nephews. so as a reward for b's endurance, we went to copper penny for a burger. it was delicious.

that evening, we stayed at a bed and breakfast! it was fun. some friends of my mom own a B&B and gave us a gift certificate as a wedding gift. we didn't have a lot of expectations, pretty much expected the basics - a bed and a breakfast, but it was actually really nice. it had a tv with satellite. so we just curled up on the bed and watched the tv. it was super relaxing. unfortunately, we were woken in the morning by a toddler. brendan was kind of unimpressed by that, in fact he was downright annoyed that the owners of a B&B would have a young child. but it turned out fine, and didn't wreck our time there.

i'm turning 31 in 4 days. i'm semi shocked by this. i'll be officially IN my thirties and not just at the door.

i don't think i'll make my 10 pound goal by january 5. i've been working out 5 days a week and watching what i eat and my weight is barely changing. it's ok though. when i signed on i expected it to take about 6 months to reach my goal, but on the schedule the girl suggested it would've only taken 2 months. maybe that's realistic for some people, but i think metabolism has something to do with it, and my body isn't keen to shed pounds at a rapid pace. i'm not quitting this jan 5 target, but i'm not going to give it power over me. i have to remember working out is about being healthy and feeling good.

they tease me, but i'm not diswaded. my senses tell me something, and i'm going to go with those hints and gestures. sometimes it means that i'm right. i'll just wait for the rest of them to catch up with me.

they missed fate's appointed rendezvous.
