Today was all about organization. I got the laundry done, the house picked up, the paper written. I coordinated the traveling to the baby naming ceremony at the Temple where my friend and former co-worker goes and the ceremony is at. I got the card purchased and written out- stahed lovingly in the car so that I would not forget it. I contacted all of the parties, got the address and put it into my GPS, and it all went forth without a glitch, up to and including grabbing two favors-one for my niece and one for my nephew.
The baby- a little girl was beautiful. I watched as the new parents struggled through several stages of learning what to do at a party. The baby pooped and it apparently smelled very bad as she was given her Hebrew name that meant little flower...her mom said that she sure didn't smell like a flower. She was up at the 'alter' (because I don't know if its called something else in a Temple) and I don't think she realized that the congregation heard her until everyone laughed. She turned bright pink. It was cute. When they came down from the alter type area she took the baby out for the change. ;-)
I continued on the 'reach out to estranged people in my life' path by sending out several cards. Among them were a birthday card and a sympathy card. Even if nothing comes of it- I feel better about myself having done that. People have done that with me in the past and my response was nearly always positive, so I'm not sorry that I did that. If anything happens, it'll be on here- be assured. If nothing happens as was the case on some of the texts, then that's fine too...no harm, no foul right? Estranged does not necessarily mean 'fought with,' just so you know. Sometimes people just part and lose track. There are some of both in my case. Not many of either- but enough...one is too many....
I also coordinated the Christmas shopping trip this weekend with my best BFF. I got sizes from people and times down pat and formulated my Christmas list. I put necessities into a much smaller purse because I broke my big one. If I can find a sturdy one I'm going to purchase it on Sunday when my best BFF, her daughter and I go shopping at the Woodbury Commons in New York.
After the baby naming I stopped into the karaoke bar to say hello to several friends who had asked me to meet them there and to see karaoke buddy and his girlfriend. It's been 3 weeks since I've been there. It was fun. I sang several songs without having even one drop to drink. It turns out that the bar is closing Dec 28th, just before the new year. I'm saddened by that. I feel like I'm losing a real slice of my life. The economy is so bad. There are so many small businesses closing. It's such a shame.
The eating part of my day...well, let's just say that it could've been better. I feel like I ate too much yesterday... and today. Ahhh...Monday...a new beginning. I don't expect a loss this month. I will be happy if I just maintained.
So that was the day in a nutshell. Hang in there. We can diet in between this holiday and the next one. See you next Blog! ;-)
