Success is Mine!

Well, tonight begins the birthday festivities and I am proud to say that I still made it to the gym! I am down 6 pounds and I have to keep it going. Tomorrow is going to be my day off, so I had to stay committed today. But the first of my wonderful friends comes into town tonight.

My sweet Elizabeth gets in at nine from DC and we are going for a late dinner, preferably somewhere fabulous! I think I will dress up and wear heels, it always has a way of making you feel sexy and considering I am in such a sassy mood today I think that is just what I need. It could have to do with the fact that I had a video interview this morning and NAILED it, or that my companies new website is AMAZING, or that I am listening to Italian Cafe music or even because Sex in the City 2 comes out in a week! I can't pinpoint the source of happiness, but I am going with it!

Gosh, I feel so blessed around this time of year. Like I mentioned before, it is a gathering of people that mean so much to me, and I must mean a lot to them as well because they travel from a lot of different places to see me. Well, sometimes it is just a coincidence that they are in town, maybe for a wedding or pre-planned trip - but it still makes me feel so special and wonderful inside. You know sometimes I can get ahead of myself. Anyway, I am going to enjoy the evening with Elizabeth and her mom and live in the moment.

I would like to leave you with a quote that spoke to me today, and made me laugh for the first time at my love of fairy tales.

"The modern fairy tale ending is the reverse of the traditional one: A woman does not wait for Prince Charming to bring her happiness; she lives happily ever after only by refusing to wait for him -- or by actually rejecting him. It is those who persist in hoping for a Prince Charming who are setting themselves up for disillusionment and unhappiness." - Susan Faludi
