Staying Warm!

I am sitting on my zafu pillow right in front of the gas fireplace. I just cannot get warm. I was sitting at the dining table and I had enough. And yes, I'm wearing my wool sweater, jeans, socks and slippers. This is the second or third time I turned on the heat since I've been living here. At night I have been sleeping with a hot water bottle and lately, Maxie has been scooching up behind my knees to curl up and slumber.

I applied for one more administrative job today that Randy recommended, after getting the faculty aps in the mail, having coffee with Chris Parnell, making a bank deposit and doing some laundry. But for the most part my day was about wedding prep. I walked to the library and checked out some books. They turned out to be not very helpful so I did better online searches and put together a lovely wedding ceremony for Genia and Christine. They asked me to officiate their wedding last week and after lots of over few days decided to do it. Get a daily permit and try something new. And I have to say I am pretty excited. They will be getting married on the beach, so I will again have to dress warmly.

My stomach has been a funky for the last few days. I am going to try and ignore it and go to dance class tonight anyway. I have wanted to take Sarah's class at The Beat and fingers crossed that others show up for it. My body is hurting from the dance and yoga over the weekend. I hope for a good warm up tonight and a nice stretch of my hamstrings before I bust a move.

Oh, and here are a few things I'm grateful for:
1. fireplaces and hot water bottles
2. cookie searches
3. friends who send job postings my way
4. a washing machine and dryer in my apartment
5. coffee!
