Ok Ebet got married 8/29/08 in beautiful Hendersonville, NC.  There were about 20 of us in attendance.  Was a very nice trip and so glad to be a part of it all.  Ebet & Courtney had been together for 10 years and engaged for 2 1/2 so it was time!

Heading to Chicago/Indiana 10/11-10/20 to see family and friends.  Will be having dinner with Laura on Monday night downtown Chicago.  I will take the South Shore Line into Chicago and meet her at the Michigan Ave office.  She is due on 11/2 so I hope she does not go into labor at dinner!

Cant wait to see my family (dad’s side), dad, Cathy, my sisters, grandparents, aunts/uncles...and my niece and nephew.  They are twins and were born in January.  Jamison & Elyse....so damn cute.  I know I am biased, but they really are so pretty!  Just so happens my mom, Grandpa Keenan, Aunt, and Cousin will be in town too.  So that is a nice coincidence. 

Going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving to see Papa & Grandma Keenan.  Will be seeing Jeanette for dinner on Friday and then will meet some friends for drinks after.  I cannot believe that I have not seen Jeanette in...um...probably like 7 or more years!  It has been so long that I cannot remember the last time I saw her!

Going to Seattle for Christmas to see my mom, brother & stepdad.  That will be nice.  I hae not spent Christmas with them in so long I can’t remember! 

Lots of travel this year. 

Work is good.  Still as the same company for 10 years in March.  Still like my job, still learning lots, and keeping myself challenged.  I get my second sabbatical as of 3/22/09 (4 weeks paid time off in addition to our vacation time!).  I would like to get to Europe.  My friend Molly and I are hoping to get to Italy for a week or so.  We would have WAY too much fun there! 

That’s all I have for now.

Ebet and I went swimming tonight to get the bodies toned - or make an attempt anyway.  We swam lots for about 25 minutes - got the heart rate up.  I felt the burn.  Then we went to Chick-fil-A. . .hmmmm.  So much for the work out. 

I could see myself watching the movie in the theatre again I liked it so much. And I never see movies twice in the theatre. Oh Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha, and Big did me proud. I have decided that I still want to be a combo of Charlotte and Carrie. If I only had enough money to buy those clothes!

You need to read her post “The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me”.  Excellent writing.  I feel like a mini stalker or something.  I get a little excited when I am notified that she has posted something new.  Most of all I feel like I can relate to her posts and the things going on in her life.  So keep writing CBS!

Here is what I would do if I lost like 60 pounds and looked damn fine.

1 - wear a bikini
2- wear said bikini to a pool party that had boys in attendance
3 - wear the bikini in question to a Las Vegas hotel pool (everyone knows the pool is “the” scene in Vegas)
4 - wear a bikini while taking Lola for a walk
5 - wear a sports bra and shorts while jogging
6 - wear a sports bra and shorts at the supermarket (preferably when the fireman are doing their grocery shopping)
7 - faint in the sports bra and shorts while in the same aisle as the firemen (only if they are single and cute)
8 - wear a short-ish, age inappropriate, denim skirt and a hot black “tube” top on date with fireman from supermarket (yes, I said tube top so what!)
9 - dance with younger boys while fireman uses restroom...while in my short skirt and tube top
10 - wear an ASU t-shirt that was cut into a dress to the ASU game tailgate (like the 19 year old hoochies do)
11 - prance around said tailgate in my ASU t-shirt that was cut into a dress
12 - ...you get the point…
