I am a Cornucopia of Emotions Right Now

PROUD: Because today was my first weigh in since the newly regimented diet/exercise agenda began and I am pleased to announce that the scale now registers a full 4 pounds less. YAY ME!! It’s not much but it’s a step in the right direction. Just the motivation I need to keep me going and know that it’s worth it.

NERVOUS: Because I FINALLY got a call back from a place I applied to last week and was able to nail down an interview for tomorrow afternoon. Cross your fingers, ladies and gents. I really need to rock this and start making some kind of income. Needless to say, while I’m excited at the prospect, I’m more than a little anxious.

SAD: Because the Boo and I will be apart on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I have to drive up to see the folks and he’s staying here so his brother isn’t alone and his dogs don’t have to be quarantined in another god-forsaken alleged kennel. (That didn’t turn out too well, remember?)So, while it is our very first Christmas together EVER, I have to suck it up, put on a brave face and just deal with it. I know it’s not the end of the world but I still can’t help but be a little mopey. And I know we’ll have plenty more Christmases together to make up for this one but it still sucks. WAA WAA WAA. (Ok, I'm done.)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED/GIDDY: Because the Boo’s mother told him to buy me an engagement ring for Christmas. SQUEAL!!! I know it’s not happening…not for awhile at least. But it’s nice to know she likes me enough to even suggest it. (Even if she was being facetious.)

CONSPIRATORIAL: Because now I’m secretly plotting my fictional wedding in the unknown future.
