Neglect
Wow, since discovering Facebook i have so been neglecting this blog!
Workouts have been going exceptionally well. my pace is still around 17 minutes/mile, but that includes warmup walking. The two miles that i jog straight probably run around 16:15/mile. i've been pretty impressed with myself and i feel awesome. Not to mention that i will probably have those 10 Philly pounds gone in another week and be working on the next 40.
i went on the best first date (ever?... no, but close) since arriving in the city last night. We sat and talked for four hours, but i completely botched the kiss at the end. Hopefully that won't land me in the 'Friend Zone' and i can give it another go next time.
Almost initially perfect, this guy not only passes my initial check marks, but also understands my doppler effect bumper sticker. Mom asked, "yeah, but what is he allergic to?" Animals. All of them. But, he did seem optimistic about trying to live with them someday. Enough for me for now, anyway.
Worry not, Sao, my days of giving up pets for men are long gone.
Christmas was a blast. i managed to get my family exactly what they wanted, no (as far as i know) utter failures. Liz loved the scarf i got her, and that was my biggest gamble. Got my brother started on Beck, and my mom loved the Kindle we all pitched in to buy her. Finally found dad the shirt he loved that says "Beer is Good" as well.
Sao did NOT appreciate Stella Rue (Dave and Liz's big dog), and spent the entire break up in the guest bedroom after a very energetic first meeting. She is ecstatic to be home.
i am off tonight to spend New Year's Eve with some new friends and am so excited! Last year's ringing in at Wichita Midcontinent Airport, alone and heartbroken, went so fundamentally against my midnight tradition. But like my family said, it did portend a year of travel and change. i hope this year will portend a year of good friends.
Happy New Year to all of you!!

It's amazing how Facebook turns into a 24 hour blog... but most of the time you miss out on the big story with a picture or comment... so blogs are still good.
Love you Elle. Happy New Year.
I'm not on Facebook, so keep the blog! :-)
How did you botch up the kiss? I'm curious! Was it all slobbery? ;-)
