Today is a great day. I’m awake. I’m happy. I’m ready to go. I’ve not felt like this in a while, so I’m excited. Maybe it’s the hydroxycut. Maybe it’s because of the people in my life being those who I want in it…not anyone I feel obligated to be involved with. I feel love and I feel loved. It’as a pretty great feeling. All the drama is pushed aside and I’m ok with it being about me and my sense of happiness. And I have people around me who I sincerely want to see happy which kind of gives me a cause. I love that feeling and I am surrounded by it right now. I can;t ask for much better.

Last night some friends of mine and I went to the Barry Manilow concert for a little bit. It ended up being more of a work function for me, but it made me feel content to know that my friends were happy to be there and that I was able to make it happen for them. it was Monica’s 29th birthday and I was able to get a pair of 2nd row seats for her. It was AMAZING. I was 8th row at Jimmy Buffet one time, but I didn’t want to be there and I ended up sitting on the lawn most of the time. I was dating a guy who loved Jimmy and since I was inadequate in other areas of our relationship I figured that getting him tickets for the hsow was the least I could do. But he wanted to party on the lawn and his ex wife ended up punching me when she saw me, but it was cool to know that sitting so close was an option. Monica made my day when she texted me mid afternoon telling me that I am a good friend and that she was so excited. That made me excited to go because I wasn’t before since I’m not really a “Fanilow.” Chelsea, Carrie, Ally, and the rest had a fantastic time, too. I was so happy to hear their appreciation. Even though the tickets were free (thanks Haven at Texas Tickets giving them to me as a Valentines Day gift), I felt like I had done something that meant a lot to other people. Even though all I did was ask for a favor, I still felt good.

This is such a busy week for me. Tonight I’m going back to Velocity for another hard workout. I was going to go on Monday, but I went shopping for new softball stuff instead. My friend Squirt invited me to play in a tournament on her GOOD team this weekend and I had to buy black shorts and a shirt. Then last night was Barry and tonight is my workout then off to moms house to help her learn to use her new home gym. Tomorrow we have a flag football double header and Friday is another workout I hope and then going out. I dunno though. Saturday is the tournament then Monica is having her weekend birthday party. But since I don’t have tournament times yet, I don’t know if I will make the early part.

Sorry it’s short today. It’s insanely busy here and I can’t focus on one thing long enough to write more.
