Deep Blue Lunch

Wow, I'm being taken out for lunch at one of the nicest places in Wilmington, by our biggest client. I can't hardly wait...Martha says they have the best lobster soup ever. My boss decided to be a jerk about it yesterday though, and tell me I'm not allowed to drink, because he'll be meeting us there after driving from a closing downstate, and I may have to drive him back here because he'll be wasted. Now how's that for holiday cheer? Make me drive, even though there are two other women in here that probably won't drink, and tell me I can't. Jerk. Guess what? I'm going to have a glass of wine or two anyway! I think that was rather bratty of him.

My friend Sarah is now officially engaged. Not sure how I feel about it, since the conversation I had with Lindsey the night prior didn't encourage me much as to her real motives for getting married right now. Let's just say I hope it's a long engagement. But I'm happy for her if it's what she really wants, and knows that she's making the right decision.

Three more days til Christmas. I'm still not sure how I feel about that yet. I'm so excited to see my family, especially the little ones, but I know that the big hole that should be my dad is going to be dramatically felt by everyone. His laughter always filled the house, and his smile and enthusiasm always took the kids off guard. I'm just hoping I make it through the day without getting too upset. Damn, I miss him so much.

On a happier note, Harry Potter will be out in the summer of next year! Yes!!!!!! I have already pre-ordered my copy through Borders, which allows me to purchase it for 40% less. I can hardly wait. I have a lot of reading to do before then though, I have so many books that I bought while I was still in school that I never had time to read, so I've got plenty to keep me busy until then. Right now I'm reading a book about George Washington, which is pretty interesting. Hmm...anything more interesting to tell you? I'm going out with my sister tonight, and some friends, which should be fun. I need to let go for a night and relax, old style. I feel like an old lady, which I know is so not me! So time for a little bit of fun. B-dubs, here we come!
