Thanksgiving

Yesterday went well- I slept in (12 hours of sleep total!), worked out, gave myself a pedicure, got in a fight with my Dad and then my Mom (later resolved with a BEAUTIFUL letter from Mom taped to the stairs), went to the Liset's for Thanksgiving meal and dessert, and then to Eric and Kathy's for a post-thanksgiving-Christmas-movie-night. The movie, Elf, was super cute. :) Going to the Lisets was wonderful as usual- their son grew up over night and is in his first year of college (I remember way back then.. my goodness- I have learned SO much since then!!!) and there was the brother of Syliva and his wife and child who came... his daugher (Becky) is actually interested in Esthetics in Vermont where she's from!! Who would have guessed?! I was MORE than excited to tell her all about it and urge her to work at a spa for a while during her training as an Esthetician so that she will have her foot in the door. She's so sweet! :) I was able to talk with a woman whom I have seen at church but never really have talked with: Sam, and invited her and John to 'group' next weekend. I hope they can go! Over all it was a success... except for when movie night ended and Zack came over at about 9:00 after his familly get-together and while we were all chatting- I asked him if he got the funding for his animated movie... which he said yes, basically, but then went on to mention that he already told me on Sunday. Talk about feeling stupid. Yes- I have problems with memory and it IS getting better... but that really ticked me off: how he said it and such. Not cool. At any rate, I work today (and am looking forward to shopping for the 11th.... There is a certain woman who attends the spa and happens to attend a sister church of mine: she wanted to introduce me to a 'young man' that she knows ( a friend under her husband) who is 10 years older than me... so she is having an open house at her place in December, and invited me to go. I am going to go over to this guy's parent's house for a drink first and then we are all going to head over to Carol's house for the party... I really can't wait to go shopping for it.. I already know what shoes and pants I'm going to wear... the shirt will be the hard part! I think Jim's parents called my house and talked with my parents.. they were trying to get a hold of me for some reason. I called them back but I wonder if they told Jim to not bother because I live at home still.... yikes! Either way, it gives me the hope that I need that there are guys out there besides the ones that I can see. Three weeks away!
