Just For Today

There is no bigger confidence booster than a new pair of well fitting pants.

Seriously.

Even better than a fantastic new shirt, awesome pants take the cake. I already own more dress pants than anyone my age really should. But last night I couldn’t help but take advantage of an amazing Christmas sale, and scored myself two new pairs of pants for work, including new wool pants.

So despite the new snow fall, still cold temperatures and slippery roads I had to battle this morning, I am feeling pretty good. Not too bad for a Wednesday. I am hoping to keep my optimistic mood for the rest of the day.

Last night was the first, real, full night I have spent with just my roommate in quite a while. We have come to terms with the fact that we have differing schedules and we are now, sadly, able to handle nights at home, alone. But it is always fun to have a whole night without one of us dashing off to a prior engagement or a family obligation.

I think we were being to forget just how funny we are together, or finally having someone else who gets all of our inside jokes.

We are hosting a party on Sunday night. Just like the old days. Back at our old house we use to have people over all the time, but mostly on Sunday nights. Weekday Eve, as it affectionately got named, became the highlight of the week. From watching horribly cheesy movies to intense and competitive games of Celebrity, we rang in each new week with lots of food, friends, and fun.

Since our move, we have only hosted a handful of events and now spend Sunday nights watching and re-watching old episodes of our favourite TV on DVD.

Our Sunday night Beverage Bash should be a good time with all of the eggnog, hot chocolate and apple cider (if we can figure out mulling spices). We figured with all of the various holiday beverages available, there really was need to celebrate. During what is feeling like a low key Christmas season, the holiday parties we have attended have been few and far between, so I am sure everyone will be in a mood to celebrate.

Looking forward to all kinds of crazy in the next couple of days. Happy that things finally starting to look decent again. Grateful for all I have but don’t deserve.

As Always,
