tomorrow should be Friday

It feels like tomorrow should be Friday. But it’s only Thursday. Oh well…at least I don’t have to go to jury duty…yay! I was on standby for like the 20th time in the past few years. And I’m feeling better than I did earlier. I still don’t feel great, but I’m better. My back is incredibly sore for some reason. It’s really weird.

So guess what? I’m going to China. Yep…I’m meeting up with my friend Wendy in Beijing for a week. Guy is, at the same time, going to Shanghai to visit a friend, and then we’ll meet in the Tokyo-Narita airport and fly to Hawaii together. I’m pretty excited about it…it will be like two vacations in one. First, there will be the crazy city vacation in Beijing. I haven’t been to Asia since I left Korea when I was a year and a half old, and I speak absolutely no Chinese, so it should be interesting. I’ll have Wendy, so it’s not that big a deal, but I will have one evening/day by myself. I’m trying to figure out what to do while I’m on my own. After the China trip, I’ll be spending five nights in Maui with Guy in the cutest little cottage ever. It should be a blast.

I’m still fighting the battle of the bulge. Before my last trip to Pittsburgh for work, I actually had to go buy fat pants. Yes…can you believe it? I have gotten to the point where my old clothes just don’t fit anymore. I tried Atkins for about six hours before remembering how much I don’t like it. So tonight I went to the store and stocked up on Zone-friendly foods. The Zone has always worked for me when I actually stick to it, so I’m going to give it another go since Maui means bikini. I know I’m not ((((((FAAAAAAAT)))))), but I’m chubby. When Kona tries to stand on my belly when she’s riding in my lap in the car, I know it’s time to do some work.

Meanwhile, I’m SUPER BUSY. Work has gotten crazy busy with two new clients and new projects. And my old, big project is just coming back into full swing. And of course, outside of work, there is freelance stuff out the wazoo and taxes (I’m still waiting for the CPA to call me back!) and other stuff that I do because I have to do it.

Well, I’m going to try to get some work done now, since it never, ever ends.
