Catch-Up and New News...

So it’s been a really long time since I wrote!

To play catch-up…
Work: Really good. I keep getting PR projects to work on and I had a good talk with my boss yesterday. It sounds like they want to keep me for a while (my boss mentioned that she hoped I was around for a few years at least). I will also be given a big project to work on, in addition to all the little ones I’m currently responsible for. I’ve never liked my job this much before and I LOVE it!!

Love: PL and I are way better now; things are really great and totally back on track.

Working Out: Not only did I not get to the gym on Halloween, like I said I would (I chose to blame my Halloween party, which kept me up late on Thursday decorating cookies and carving pumpkins) but I still haven’t gone at all. My plan was to go today but I forgot to pack a bag last night. I’m hoping to go tomorrow, even though I wouldn’t go back to the gym until Monday.

Other new news….
On Friday evening, from 6 – 1 a.m., I will be doing a “walk-along” with beat cops in the area around police headquarters. It’s going to be very interesting…as in tons of drunken idiots and creepy dudes. If I wasn’t going with two police officers who have guns, Tasers, and training, I wouldn’t go near that area in daylight! Nonetheless, I’m still really excited. I think it will be a cool experience. I also still have a Ride-Along in a cruiser and on Air-1 coming up soon too. Can’t wait for that either!!

I also booked my road test and will be going for my driver’s license on November 28th. I really don’t want to fail on the first time and I’m just worried that I’m going to mess up doing something really stupid!

I’m really excited for Christmas. PL is staying here, for the first time since we started dating, so it will be our first Christmas together. We’re getting a real Christmas tree and we’ll be decorating together. I’m just so excited to actually be with him this year, which is why I think I’m so excited in general for Christmas. My only bummer is that due to my financial situation, I can’t get my shopping done early, like I usually do. I have to wait until the first week of December to finish, when I usually have it done before December 1. Last night I saw a girl wrapping presents (I’m not a peeping-Tom; it was dark and she was sitting on her living room floor, in a loft next to my sister’s). I was very impressed. I’ve never even wrapped presents that early before! Maybe she was mailing them to a foreign country, although I think she was just a keener!
