the essence

U2 was here in concert last night!!! I really wish I could've gone. I LOVE U2.

Ray is back in town. And I missed him. I did. I really enjoy my alone time & look forward to it but I was definitely ready to have Ray back here. Tonight he has a meeting, I think having to do with mortgages. He was home all day so I don't mind that he's gone tonight. :)

I have a lot of projects to work on. Yea! That's one thing about the holidays, there are lots of great crafts & baking to do! Ray has an office Christmas party on the 9th & I need to make inviations for him to send to some clients; I've begun addressing Christmas cards; I have presents that are ready to wrap; I'm dying to get out the decorations (especially my new wreath!).

I talked to Ruth today & she is supposed to be coming in to town the week of December 5th. I may be picking her up at the airport, she'll stay with me for a bit & then we'll go to Orlando. (You're invited too, Rach).

One thing about the holidays is lack of free time. I'd like to have a little more flexibility to do things but it seems "free" days book up nearly a month in advance, if not sooner.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is already next week! I spoke with an old friends, Caren, a couple of weeks ago & she's supposed to be in Orlando for Thanksgiving this year. We have plans to get together on Friday & I'm really excited about that - I haven't seen her since before my wedding!

So, that's the latest scoop. I've been horrible about updating lately (it bugs me when other people don't update yet I'm not so good about it myself). :p
