Cindy's last day was Friday so now I'm tasked with doing the weekly reports until I can find a replacement. They aren't difficult but they are tedious. Reports are emailed and saved to four different places. I am overwhelmed.

I'm supposed to have lunch with my friend Mark today. The last time we were supposed to meet for lunch (about 4 years ago) I got lost. This place should be easier to find.

The book club looks like it's not going to make it. We can't agree on a day to meet. Between everyone's classes, families, and jobs we all seem to be busy on various days of the week. If we can't get together this month I might suggest giving it a break until next spring.

I feel bad. Instead of eating low fat popcorn I ate gummy worms.

I paid for those gummy worms. I gained half a pound (okay it was gummy worms and mellowcreme pumpkins). I'm hoping I'm down a pound by weigh-in. I have to be very strict for the next three days.

Ben slept very well last night. Part of it may because Michael came to bed earlier than usual. He usual comes to bed around 1:00 to 1:30AM; it's possible the noise and light wakes Ben up at that time.

Today was a friend's birthday. I called Bev this morning to wish her a happy birthday and catch up on her and her family. She's a busy SAHM (stay-at-home-mom). Her youngest of three is in pre-school. Between Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, soccer, cheerleading and whatever other activities they do, she gets no rest.

I left my wallet in Ben's diaper bag this morning. I don't even have 35 cents to buy a soda. Michael grabbed it but I don't feel like going to his job after work to get it.

This weekend should be exciting. I'm going to make Christmas, Hanukkah, and holiday cards with my M.I.L. on Saturday, and on Sunday I'm going to a vineyard in the afternoon and a play in the evening.
