A "G-Rated Journal" That Even My Mother Can Read (because she does!)
Effervescence is a state of mind. It's about choosing to bring sunshine to the day.
Every person I meet matters.
If it's written down, I know it (If it's not written down, I don't know it)
If it's color-coded, I understand it (If it's not color-coded, I don't understand it)

Late-adopter still dances with glee
Fri Feb 10 - One of the best things about Thursday: I did my taxes so that I could see if I had enough to make a really expensive purchase that I'd been dreaming of for a while now. And I'm thrilled to say that yes, I'm getting so much back from the government, that I could finally afford an MP3 player. And not just any MP3... Yes, my lovelies, I bought a 60 GB (black) iPod.
On Wednesday I had dinner with a coworker from the Marine Corps base. He let me play with his iPod for a bit, and that was the clincher. The light-touch menu dial is seductively yummy to play with, and it convinced me this was the player for me.
So I bought the iPod right after work. And then Thursday night at home, and in the background at work today, I imported whole CD albums into my new iPod and experimented with the controls and settings. Even after what I consider my "bare minimum albums" there are only 655 songs and barely 3 GB of space used up. I'm thrilled to pieces, and dancing with glee.
* * * * *
The rest of my evening was spent at Adrienne's house, as we celebrated Nate's company before he goes back to sea again for another month and a half (he's a sailor by trade). Marcos, Mina, Adjin, Lilya, Nate, and myself enjoyed dinner together, and then I was even lucky enough to see Jeff when he got home from work.
I gave "shuffle" a chance on the short 5 minute drive home, and bless technology -- it selected songs that really matched my mood well. Oh, I am going to have LOTS of fun on my drive to and from Arizona next week and my drive to and from Vegas a few weeks later after that.
* * * * *
Coming Up: Shopping and cooking for Estrella, packing, and two parties this weekend. Not sure how to fit them all in together, plus laundry.
* * * * *
Today's Blessing That I'm Thankful For: Adrienne, and her amazing openness with her home.

Weight Loss Record:
Fri 2/10 9.8 (same as yesterday) ... although today, a second person said they could actually see a difference, plus these jeans are getting loose and my tight-fitting purple blouse fits nicely now.
