Oooh, Christmas has been very very good so far…

Yesterday, George, Skip and I went to my mom’s house for “Christmas” lunch and presents. And I got a car! My mom paid for it! Daaaaang. Amazing! I am so excited. Very very cool. That’s $150 for the next billion years that I won’t have to pay! Yay! Gotta be the most expensive Christmas present I’ve ever (and will ever) receive. Yay! My mom is great. She’s in LA now with my brother and sister-in-law, as well as her “man-friend” (can’t say boyfriend when they’re in their 50s) Mauro, whose kids also live in LA. I’m glad she gets to spend Christmas with Evan and Jennifer, but I very much wish I could be there too. But then it’d be a Christmas without George. See, now, this is being grown-up…having family all over the country and not being able to spend holidays with them. This is the first Christmas I’ve ever spent without my mom, and it’s weird. But it’ll be a great Christmas anyway.

Tonight I’m surprising George with tickets to the new Lord of the Rings movie. I hope he doesn’t read this today…

Tomorrow night is my friend Mandy’s holiday party, with people from Barnes and Noble. That’ll be fun. And then Christmas eve!!! Yay! And then Christmas!

Skip and I went to the R Bar on Saturday night with Teresa and Joe, and met up with our old Reveille coworker Linus and also Laurie and James. Yay! Laurie let me put on her engagement ring. It’s fun and very sparkly. Dreamy.

Gotta work out tomorrow. Have gained a few pounds over the holidays, and haven’t been working out very much. New start after the new year…maybe will join Weight Watchers, as I’m so fond of saying I’ll do “one day”…
