Weekend wrap-up

It's been a pretty low-key weekend here. I've been searching for job posting and working on my resume tape. I'm hoping I can get a hold of a couple master tapes of newscasts I don't have saved to add those to the most recent newscasts. Once I take care of that, I'll just need to polish up the tape. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work on the tape today since the weekend crew was using the editing booths. I'm still waiting to get an estimate back from a moving company that came by on Thurs. and another one is coming tomorrow morning.

Thursday night I saw "Role Models". While it's an obnoxious comedy starring Seann William Scott and McLovin from "Superbad", it was exactly what each one of us needed... to laugh out loud at the most ridiculous things. If you're having a bad day or just need to laugh then I say go for it and see the movie. Your mood will definitely perk up. I wouldn't recommend paying full price though. Yesterday, I saw Madagascar 2 with some of the girls. I've never seen the first one, so I didn't really know what I was in for. It was cute. The little kids around us loved every minute of it. I did forget how much movies cost, even during matinee. In an effort to stay out of the house I stopped by TJ Maxx and found some cute, inexpensive Holiday cards to send out in a couple of weeks. I suggest doing the same if you want to keep your cost down.

I've spent most of today doing laundry and cleaning things up. I also started packing. It's going to be weird when my accessories and decorations start disappearing. The place is going to be completely white and empty. I don't have a lot here to begin with so when the extras are packed up it's going to be sad looking. I will say, I am looking forward to spending some time with my family. It's like I've been given a "get out of Washington" card. OK that's a little harsh, but I watched the Sex and the City movie last night and I got so happy and excited thinking that might be able to meet a friend for coffee. Or have someone special to spend New Year's Eve with. I have nothing against living in Washington or the people I work with, but I do miss my family and friends more than I let myself believe. It's going to be a frustrating and stressful process leading up to Dec. 19 and I am trying to remember that things happen for a reason. Only time will tell what's in store for me...
