World Traveler

What an exciting day today was, I can hardly imagine being able to contain it into one hundred words.  I did work very hard at Suffolk, and was asked to sing The National Anthem at Graduate Commencement this year!  Then, when I got home from coffee with Mimoun, Alexis and I booked a 7 Day Cruise for September!  I am going to be visiting Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize and Mexico!  I gives me motivation to stay on my diet so that I can celebrate lots of hard work with delicious food and respectable looks in a bathing suit.

LOST is invading my mind these days.  With the premiere so close, I am picking up my old habit of cruising the Internet reading theories, searching for clues and looking at pictures.  Today I watched the first and second episode of last season on Hulu at work. I almost allowed myself to get sucked in until I realized that I have an enormous project to do and absolutely no supervision.  I’m spending a lot of time thinking about Hurley.  Everyone loves him, of course, but I worry about where he’ll end up at the end of this journey.

Just got back from dinner at The Palm, in Boston.  It’s Jacob and my favorite place to go, even if it costs a fortune.  It was a nice treat, even though we only went there last a week ago (and spent twice as much!) There’s something very special about going to an expensive restaurant.  Our waiter, who remembered us, and the wine we ordered, was attentive, thoughtful, and conversational.  To, for an hour or so, feel important, even in such a stupidly simple way as a restaurant guest, puts my mind at ease.  I like dressing nice and going to dinner. Jacob joined the 385 club at the restaurant today.  We get points for eating there.  We’re going to earn enough to go on vacation. (details to follow).

My stomach feels very unfriendly right now, an unfortunate side effect of eating nothing until our 7:00pm reservation.  It isn’t often that I’d wait so long to eat in a day but work is busy, hectic, and very stressful with the demanding Rosenberg Institute programing.  I do like my job, though not everything about it is good.  I don’t think anyone’s job is completely awesome, so I am NOT complaining.  I just need a vacation, which I will soon be getting as we head off to the Berkshires for Thanksgiving.  I just need to be away from work for an extended period of time.  I need to be away from this house, too, to be able to clarify my head from the slosh that has become my bedfellow.  I know this pain and frustration isn’t worth it- it’s just hard to pull yourself out once you begin. Besides, I look pretty in green.

Also, today I decided that if I were to throw myself in front of a bus, I would bequeeth the following items to those I love:  My vast collection of books, to Joe.  My scrapbooks in all their forms to Kacee.  Lavan and Seamus to Jacob.  My DS and games to Kerri.  I don’t really have anything of value, but let it be known, if I should throw myself in front of a bus, that those items should be doled out accordingly.

Does someone want to get me a tattoo for Christmas?
